Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas achieved a rare feat last weekend by gathering their entire family together for lunch – and the age range was 20 months to 102 years old.

Four generations of the family dined together in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday, including Douglas’ father, actor Kirk Douglas, star of Hollywood classics including Spartacus and Paths of Glory.

News of the lunch came to light thanks to Kelsey Douglas, Michael’s 24-year-old niece, who shared two photographs from the occasion on Instagram.

The first is a group shot featuring the entire Douglas clan, including Zeta Jones, 49, Michael, 74, and their two children: Dylan, 19 and Carys, 16.

The youngest family member is 20-month-old baby Luca, daughter of Cameron Douglas, 40, who is Michael’s son from a previous marriage.

In a second snap, Kelsey uploaded a selfie of herself posing with Kirk.

“A table of strong jaw lines, large appetites and a shared love for attention,” she wrote in the caption, adding that a few “key players” were missing from the reunion, including Tyler and Ryan Douglas.

“Family photos are tough,” Kelsey concluded.

The post has garnered several likes and praiseworthy comments from fans of the famous family.

“What a blessing to have a close family,” wrote one person.

“Wow congratulations,” added another. “A happy family together of all generations.”

Cameron also shared a snap from the day alongside the caption “#Familyfirst”.
