Catherine Zeta-Jones has marked her daughter's birthday with a sweet video. The Swansea-born actress celebrated Carys turning 20 years old with a throwback montage that included a sweet picture of Catherine and Carys together, as well as a video clip of Carys dancing in front of a lake as a little girl.
The video clip also shared the meaning behind the Welsh name Carys, giving Catherine's followers an insight into why she and her husband Michael Douglas chose it for their youngest child. It read: "Carys is a Welsh feminine given name derived from the word caru, to love."
The 53-year-old, who grew up in Mumbles, captioned the clip: "20 years ago today my daughter Carys came in to my arms and there is not a day I haven’t cherished. Happy Birthday beautiful lady."
