Catherine Zeta-Jones fans say same thing under photo from daughter's graduation
Wednesday actress Catherine Zeta-Jones was a proud mum as she shared a snap of herself with her husband, Michael Douglas, and daughter Carys for her university graduation. In the picture, Michael, 80, and Catherine, 55, both gave their 22-year-old daughter a kiss on the cheek as she celebrated her graduation from Brown University.
Carys looked stunning in a white flowy dress with her wavy locks cascading down her back while both mum and dad wore blazers for the occasion. Entrapment actress Catherine captioned her proud post: "The night before graduation!!!! We are both such proud parents right now!! It's only just begun!! @carys.douglas."
While many fans and friends congratulated the graduate on her huge milestone, including Chelsea Handler, many were distracted by one detail.
One fan commented: "She is as pretty as her mama congratulations," and another added: "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, could not be more true! Stunning and best wishes for the future."
Another user posted: "What a beauty. Like her mother." One said: "Congrats Carys you remind me of your gorgeous mom when she starred in Darling Buds of May."
Meanwhile, Michael shared a similar post on his page and made sure to congratulate the entire graduating class of 2025. He wrote in his caption: "Congratulations Carys and the entire 2025 graduation class as you all begin your next chapter! We love you @carys.douglas."
Catherine and Michael share two kids together, Carys, and her brother Dylan, 24. He is also father to Cameron, 46, from his last marriage to Diandra Luker.
In 2021, Catherine said Carys and Dylan wanted to get into acting, telling Drew Barrymore on her show: "Their love of the craft of acting is so strong that even when their brains are doing politics and history in school, their passion is acting. And they've never done anything professional, but they would like to go into acting."
Last month, Carys celebrated her 22nd birthday and both her parents took to social media to share sweet messages. The couple's posts later prompted responses from Carys in the comment sections.
Michael - who is known for his roles in films like Wall Street (1987) and Fatal Attraction (1987) - shared a photo of Carys alongside his tribute. He also revealed that Carys, who was studying Film and International Relations at Brown University in the US, graduated recently.
He wrote: "Happy Birthday my darling daughter Carys! Congratulations on graduation! I am proud of you [Carys]! Dad."
The post prompted reaction from his daughter, who took to the comments section to respond to him. Carys wrote in her reply: "Thank you Dadda I love you so much."

Michael Palin admits he's 'preparing to die' in sad update
In a new interview, the Monty Python star shared that he has spoken to his children about his death, sharing that they "know where to find what they need to find should I die". It comes as the TV star and comedian recently opened up about the loss of his wife Helen, who passed away in 2023. Discussing their relationship, Sir Michael said: "Helen and I met on holiday in 1959. I was about 16 at the time. "It was a holiday romance that built up to a long marriage. "There was always a feeling that we were a unit – I hadn't really realised until that, after she'd died." Adding: "That was a difficult thing: there was half of your life gone. I still say, 'We've got in our garden…', 'We have two grandchildren…' although she's still here. I still use the 'we'. I find it almost impossible to say, 'I am...'" Sir Michael Palin shares that he's preparing for the end of life Sir Michael also opened up about his health, speaking on the Marie Curie Couch podcast, the TV star explained that his late wife had some health problems. Sharing: "She had some problems with her heart. The gradual withdrawal from life was something I think she found very, very difficult; she was a gregarious person and full of fun. "In the end, she was diagnosed with kidney failure. Then she got pneumonia and we went into hospital. We had a pretty bad experience there." Following Helen's death, Sir Michael admitted that he had thought about death more and discussed it with his children, William, Rachel and Thomas. Adding: "I do think about death and the family are rather wonderful about it: "Have you made a will? Can I be in your will?" Recommended Reading "I've made my will and all that. My family, my children, know where to find what they need to find should I die." The TV star added that he still works but is "slightly unsteady" now: "I kid myself that I'm going to be alright, and yet I know that I won't because you feel tired at certain times. "You're slightly unsteady as you get out of bed, and you think, what's happening? Well, the old car's getting a bit rusty."

Sir Michael Palin's sad update as he says he is preparing for the end of his life
Sir Michael Palin shared a heartbreaking update on his life and next steps as he gets older Sir Michael Palin announced he has made preparations for the end of his life. In a new interview, the Monty Python star opened up about his will and how his kids "know where to find what they need to find should I die". The 83-year-old candidly spoke about the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Helen who passed away in 2023. Speaking about their relationship and life together, he stated: "Helen and I met on holiday in 1959. I was about 16 at the time. It was a holiday romance that built up to a long marriage. There was always a feeling that we were a unit – I hadn't really realised until that after she'd died." He continued: "That was a difficult thing: there was half of your life gone. I still say 'We've got in our garden', 'We have two grandchildren'. "I still use the 'we'. I find it almost impossible to say 'I am'." Speaking on the Marie Curie Couch podcast, he explained that Helen had been in pain for several years following a knee replacement before a "number of different things were diagnosed". He explained: "She had some problems with her heart. The gradual withdrawal from life was something I think she found very, very difficult; she was a gregarious person and full of fun. In the end, she was diagnosed with kidney failure. Then she got pneumonia and we went into hospital. We had a pretty bad experience there." Michael went on to say that the care Helen received at a Marie Curie hospice had made a big difference in her happiness, sharing that Helen was happier during the last few days of her life than she had been in the previous six years, the Mirror reports. The TV star has three children with his late wife - William, Rachel and Thomas. Speaking about his children and his death, he admitted: "I do think about death and the family are rather wonderful about it. "I've made my will and all that. My family, my children, know where to find what they need to find should I die." Michael shared that he doesn't think about dying or fear it, instead he lives for each day but admitted he is often "slightly unsteady" on his feet some days. He stated: "I'm 82 now, which is longer than any Palin male has lived for 200 years. I keep fit and I'm working, fortunately, and doing some quite difficult stuff, filming and all that. "I kid myself that I'm going to be alright, and yet I know that I won't because you feel tired at certain times. You're slightly unsteady as you get out of bed, and you think, what's happening? Well, the old car's getting a bit rusty." Michael had previously undergone open heart surgery back in 2019, and admitted that Helen's passing had helped the whole family speak more openly about death, something which he was discouraged from doing as a kid.
