In honor of the actor’s 74th birthday, his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones shared a homemade montage of their 17-year romance with a nod to one of his iconic film roles. The actress, whose birthday also falls on Sept. 25., used clips from the 1995 film The American President, in which Douglas played widowed president Andrew Shepherd, and footage of Marilyn Monroe’s famous 1962 performance of “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” for her special shout-out. “Happy Birthday to my very own President! My husband Michael. I guess that makes me First Lady! Stranger things have happened! Go figure,” wrote Zeta-Jones, who celebrated her 49th birthday. “Oops, it’s my birthday today too,” the mother of two added.
