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."

MrBeast CEO and 'Beast Games' winner rally brand partners and rare disease support on Wall Street
MrBeast's new CEO hit Wall Street Wednesday as YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson's media empire looks to develop long-term brand partnerships and, in turn, unlock more funding for its charitable content. Venture capitalist Jeff Housenbold took over MrBeast leadership last summer with a mandate to professionalize an ever-growing entertainment company. YouTube's most popular creator had reached record audience levels far outpacing its startup days, while vowing to reassess its internal culture amid multiple controversies. But, despite joining Nasdaq 's closing bell ceremony on Wednesday, Housenbold said their strategic plan does not currently include a public offering — or any active funding rounds. 'Do I want to make banger content? Yeah. That's cool," Housenbold told The Associated Press. "But what can we do with that banger content? Generate profits, make a sustainable business that gives us greater ability to impact people's lives around the world.' 'We're marching quickly to profitability, so we don't have to raise additional capital,' he added. Instead, MrBeast is focused on securing multi-year exclusive advertising deals as opposed to single-video brand partnerships. With 416 million subscribers and legions of impressionable young fans, Housenbold argued that MrBeast is uniquely positioned to deliver more bang for companies' marketing bucks by pointing that 'firehouse of attention' at them. Along the way, Housenbold said he is encouraging Donaldson to tout the channel's charitable works — which often feature quantifiable stunts such as building wells, removing ocean plastic or covering cataract surgery costs. The company, in his view, 'can do good while doing well.' 'The more people who like us 'cause we do good, the more people watch our videos," he said. 'The more people watch our videos, the more we're able to drive in fees from our advertising partners... the more we can invest in more content to do more good in the world.' New projects such as the Amazon Prime reality show and a James Patterson novel from HarperCollins aim to diversify the genders and ages of his audience. Housenbold said that base has historically consisted mostly of 8-to-25-year-olds and men. But Housenbold acknowledged missteps in last year's production of 'Beast Games," which prompted allegations of 'unsafe' conditions from some contestants who said an unorganized set led to injuries, irregular food provision and lacking access to medication. While describing most of those reports as 'inaccurate,' Housenbold said they were 'better prepared' for the second season's recently wrapped shoot. 'Building sets for a 10-episode show is different than a 22-minute YouTube video," he said. "The scale, the size, the sophistication, the safety, the security, the cost effectiveness of doing that. We didn't staff up enough for Beast Games.' Ringing Nasdaq's closing bell Wednesday with Housenbold was the winner of the $10 million grand prize awarded in that inaugural 'Beast Games' season. Jeffrey Allen, the father of a child with creatine transporter deficiency, has promised to put some of his winnings toward existing treatments and research for a cure to the rare genetic disorder. He said the Association for Creatine Deficiencies, where he is a board member, added 1,000 new donors in the weeks following the final 'Beast Games' episodes' release. He hopes Wednesday's visit will draw more attention and money to all rare diseases. 'This is where companies that are bringing true change to the marketplace come to listen to other companies," Allen said. "So, there's no better place for a budding rare disease nonprofit to come and show, 'Hey we're trying to change the world, too.'' ___ Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and nonprofits receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.
