Michael Douglas delivered a message to fans on July Fourth, but his appearance almost eclipsed his words.

The Wall Street actor took to Instagram to wish fans well on the American holiday and posted a fun snapshot of himself in the process.

In the image, Michael was pointing to the camera, and hid behind a pair of sunglasses, while sporting a dark suit over a blue shirt, which he had casually unbuttoned.

While he didn't reveal his plans for July Fourth, he'll likely be spending it with his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones. Whether their children join them remains to be seen, but they did recently enjoy a reunion for a special reason.

Michael was flanked by his 20-year-old daughter, Carys, and 22-year-old son, Dylan, as they celebrated Father's Day with him - and fans loved the rare photo of them together.

He posted a snapshot of himself on Instagram at the table with his children on either side of him. In front of them was a breakfast spread fit for a king. "Happy Father’s Day to all! Peace and Love: @catherinezetajones," he wrote as he credited his wife for the photo.

She then commented: "Simply the Best!" and fans urged her to take care of her loved ones adding: "Wow how grown up your children are, but good to see they still love papa," and, "great to see so much love," while a third wrote: "Happy Father's Day to you Mr. Michael Douglas...Such a beautiful family."
