Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones Have The Same Birthday,Catherine Zeta-Jones turns 40 as Michael Douglas becomes pensioner at joint birthday celebration, There's something of an age difference between them, but that didn't stop Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones from celebrating their birthdays together in New York last night.
Catherine, whose birthday falls on the same day as her husband's, was celebrating the big 4-0, though she looked at least a decade younger as the couple stepped out of their apartment building.
The Oscar-winning actress was wearing an all-black ensemble that flaunted her tanned legs and slim frame.
The look was completed by platform Mary Jane heels and sunglasses, but let down by a strange choice of cap that was unlikely to do much in the way of hiding her identity.
Michael, who turned 65 yesterday, also looked rather fresh-faced despite his advancing years.
Dressed in a Hawaiian-style shirt with his silver hair swept back, he looked relaxed, despite reaching the official age of retirement in the U.S.
The couple, who split their time between New York and Bermuda, were celebrating with a joint birthday dinner, and were to be joined by Catherine's parents Dai and Pat, who had flown in from Cardiff for the occasion.
Guests were also believed to include Michael’s father, Kirk Douglas, 93, and friends Richard Gere and Danny DeVito.
Catherine is not the only A-lister to have celebrated the landmark birthday this year. Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston and Cate Blanchett also reached their forties over the past few months.
In an interview recently she said: 'I feel much younger than I am. When you are 10 or 20, 40 looks really old. When I was nearing 30 that seemed like a major milestone.
'When you live in Los Angeles you can't go anywhere without being critiqued — on the fact that you have gained weight or that you have got spots on your face. That's not the life I want.
'Deciding to live in beautiful Bermuda was the healthiest thing Michael and I ever did. Now that I have kids, that's what my life is about.'
The Welsh-born star, who is mother to Dylan, nine, and Carys, six, is set to make her Broadway debut later this year in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music.
Murder She Wrote actress Angela Lansbury will share top billing in the production which opens in December.
