Catherine Zeta-Jones fans are all saying the same thing after she posed for photos with daughter Carys at her graduation this weekend.
The Mask of Zorro actress, 55, and her husband Michael Douglas, 80, were thrilled as they celebrated their 22-year-old daughter’s significant achievement, marking the completion of her education at Brown University in Rhode Island.
On Sunday, Catherine shared on Instagram a photo of her and Michael both giving a kiss to their daughter’s cheek, which amazed her followers with one specific detail.
The picture was captured the night before Carys’ graduation ceremony, with the young adult donning a white full-length dress, while Michael wore a navy suit and Catherine was dressed in a black two-piece suit.
Captioning the picture, Catherine wrote: ‘The night before graduation!!!! We are both such proud parents right now!! It’s only just begun!!’
The proud mom went on to share several Instagram stories on Sunday, including footage of their daughter in her graduation robes.
Catherine’s followers, however, seemed distracted at her striking resemblance to Carys.
Taking to the comments, one said: ‘The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, could not be more true! Stunning and best wishes for the future.’
‘Congrats Carys you remind me of your gorgeous mom when she starred in Darling Buds of May,’ another wrote.
A third added: ‘Congratulations and gorgeous like her mama.’
‘You can be proud of her, and she looks so much like you,’ continued a fourth.
‘What a beauty,’ added a fifth. ‘Like her mother.’
Carys received her degree in Film and International Relations from the Ivy League university, located in Providence, Rhode Island.
Catherine also posted more details from the celebrations on her Instagram stories, including a cake decorated with the message, ‘Congratulations Graduation Class of 25.’
Other pictures showed emotional embraces and joyful moments shared among the graduating class.
Catherine and Michael share two children together, Carys, and her brother Dylan, 24.
Michael is also father to 46-year-old son Cameron, from his previous marriage to Diandra Luker, which lasted 18 years before ending in 2000.
Carys and Dylan are following in the acting footsteps of their famous parents.
Acting is a prominent part of Michael’s family background. He is the son of legendary actor Kirk Douglas and actress Diana Dill.
While Dylan has a short resume on IMDb, he still remains in the spotlight – he hosts Young American with Dylan Douglas, a ‘Gen Z powered political talk show.’
Cary’s IMDb has four credits thus far but her work includes the short film Shell and working as a second assistant director on the short August.
The now-graduate’s latest film, another short called F*ck That Guy, headed to the PROOF Film Festival in Los Angeles and saw Spike Lee serve as an executive producer.
In 2021, Catherine revealed both Carys and Dylan are determined to get into acting.
Catherine said on The Drew Barrymore 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.’
Carys has even been warned by her father that if she pursues a career in Hollywood she will always be referred to as ‘the daughter of.’
The mother-of-two said: ‘In fact one has to prove oneself more, so even with that deterrent my kids are like, “No, sorry we still want to do it.”‘
