Julia Roberts posts rare photo of son Henry to celebrate his 18th birthday
shared a rare photo of her youngest child Henry to celebrate his 18th birthday with a sweet Instagram post on Wednesday. The Pretty Woman actress, 57 - who recently reunited with Notting Hill screenwriter 26 years after the beloved movie hit theaters - uploaded a throwback snap of the teen to ring in the special milestone. Henry could be seen wearing a green hoodie in the image when he was younger alongside a tribute penned by his famous mother. 'In the blink of a joyful eye this beacon of a boy is ⚡️ 18 ⚡️ I love you Henry,' Roberts wrote, as well as the hashtags '#goldenboy' and '#goldenbirthday.' The Oscar winner shares Henry, as well as twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20, with husband Daniel Moder - whom she tied the knot with in 2002. Comments in the post were limited, but some celebrities joined in on the birthday wishes. 'In the blink of a joyful eye this beacon of a boy is ⚡️ 18 ⚡️ I love you Henry,' Roberts wrote, as well as the hashtags '#goldenboy' and '#goldenbirthday' Jennifer Aniston wrote, 'Happy Birthday sweet Henry!' while Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson typed, 'Henry!!!!! Happy Birthday!!!!' Julia's three kids have made rare appearances on her social media accounts over the years. Last month in May, the star was seen posing for a memorable picture with her children in celebration of Mother's Day. Her husband had shared the image to his own Instagram page and captioned the photo with: 'Mothers make the coolest stuff. Love these guys.' And a few months earlier in April, Henry briefly stepped into the spotlight as he joined his mom to watch a Broadway show in NYC. The pair cheered on her close friend George Clooney in the production of Good Night And Good Luck at the the Winter Garden Theatre. Both Roberts and her son were spotted arriving to the venue as the actress also greeted fans awaiting outside. During an interview with Today in 2023, Julia opened up about her children now that they are older. 'I parent them the same way out of the house that I parented them in the house, which is, you know, "Are you getting enough sleep?" 'And "You sound like you're sick." And "Are you drinking tea?" And "Text me when you get home you get home (so) I can see that you're home safe and sound."' The star added, 'And I have an immense amount of appreciation for both of my older kids because they still allow me to be the same mom to them and it's not eye-rolling and there's a huge amount of understanding.' Julia also made rare comments about her husband Daniel during an interview with British Vogue last year. While on the topic of how she maintains her 'lustrous youth,' the actress gave a special shout out to Moder. 'Good genes, leading a life that is fulfilling, and I have said this - and I say it usually as kind of a joke - but I do believe in the love of a good man. 'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy,' Roberts added. The actress has been keeping busy and recently whisked herself away to the U.K. to celebrate pal Scarlett Curtis' birthday - the daughter of screenwriter and director Richard Curtis. He notably wrote the screenplay for the 1999 film Notting Hill - which also starred Hugh Grant, Rhys Ifans, Hugh Bonneville and Emma Chambers. The film was directed by Roger Michell and raked in $363.8 million in the box office with a budget of $42 million. Curtis is known for writing other classic movies including Four Weddings And A Funeral, Bridget Jones's Diary and About Time. He also stepped behind the camera to director projects including Love Actually as well as About Time. Scarlett took to her Instagram stories to upload a photo of Julia and Richard as they enjoyed a special reunion at the birthday gathering. The two could be seen sitting next to each other holding a conversation as the actress draped her arm over the screenwriter's shoulders. Scarlett added text over the image which read: 'gonna go back to crying and feeling so loved i wanna burst.' During her time in the U.K., Roberts also was seen stopping by Soccer Aid at Old Trafford over the past weekend. She dressed for the occasion wearing a plain black shirt as well as black pants and a red blazer with soccer ball prints on the material.

The beloved dog was also no stranger to being in front of the camera and notably made an appearance alongside Roberts for her Chopard Loves Cinema campaign in 2023. Julia - who is a global ambassador for the luxury jewelry brand - took part in a 12-episode digital series for the campaign which gave a closer glimpse at her life in Hollywood. The mini short films were directed by James Gray and in one snippet, Myrtle could be seen jumping up next to the actress while on set. A release at the time described the BTS moments as the star 'spreading her joy and larks. 'She knits, finds something nice to say about everyone, slips into trainers under her glamorous dresses, takes over the camera herself and interrupts her script rehearsal to cuddle her dog Myrtle that jumps on her lap.' Social media users jumped to the comment section of both Julia and Daniel's posts to offer their condolences. One penned, 'Oh no. So sorry for your loss! She was a star in Chopard Loves Cinema! I'm sure she had the best life with your family. Rest easy Myrtle!' Another wrote, 'Myrtle, may you take the wonder and acclaim you lived with to the rainbow bridge. You are indelibly etched in hearts forever.' 'Heartbroken. I love you all,' a comment read, while British editor Edward Enninful added, 'So so sorry for your loss!!!' Another wrote, 'Myrtle, may you take the wonder and acclaim you lived with to the rainbow bridge. You are indelibly etched in hearts forever' Roberts has previously shown her love for animals by taking part in a fundraiser late last year in December. She partnered with Be Love Apparel to shed light onto the dog rescue organization called Frankie Lola and Friends. At the time, she jumped to her Instagram page to share a sweet selfie with one of her other adorable dogs. 'It's GIVE BACK TUESDAY!! I am Thrilled my amazing friends @beloveapparel are donating profits from every "WE ARE FAMILY" purchase to Frankie Lola and Friends @lisachiarelli An incredible dog rescue organization! 'Lisa and her team work like crazy to find loving homes for pups in desperate need! What could be better than that!' The tragic update comes just days after Julia celebrated Mother's Day over the past weekend and appeared in a rare snap with her three children. The Notting Hill actress shares twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20, and son Henry, 17, with husband Daniel. He uploaded a memorable picture of Roberts as she posed with their kids outside underneath the warm sunshine. Moder captioned the photo by typing out: 'Mothers make the coolest stuff. Love these guys.' During an interview with Today in 2023, Julia opened up about her children now that they are older. 'I parent them the same way out of the house that I parented them in the house, which is, you know, "Are you getting enough sleep?" 'And "You sound like you're sick." And "Are you drinking tea?"

The star added, 'And I have an immense amount of appreciation for both of my older kids because they still allow me to be the same mom to them and it's not eye-rolling and there's a huge amount of understanding.' Roberts also previously talked about her kids to Extra and said daughter Hazel takes clothing from her closet. However, the pair differ when it comes to taste in jewelry and explained, 'She's more bohemian in her aesthetic.' 'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy,' Roberts added Julia also made rare comments about her husband Daniel during an interview with British Vogue last year. While on the topic of how she maintains her 'lustrous youth,' the actress gave a special shout out to Moder.

'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy,' Roberts added.
