On June 20, The Bold and the Beautiful’s John McCook celebrated a big birthday milestone — his 80th — and as a way to show just how much he’s loved, the weekend prior, his family and friends gathered to surprise him with a special party. As the actor’s wife Laurette led him around a corner of their beautiful property, he heard, “Surprise!” from a crowd of people and realized what was going on — and as a reaction, as he smiled with joy, McCook turned around and made a motion to moon the guests.
“A great night celebrating my 80th at our home last weekend with all the people I love,” McCook stated. “Thank you all.”
The CBS soap vet also shared a video from the party, which included a speech from his lovely wife, a music performance by his daughter Molly (ex-Margot; Last Man Standing) and a flashback to one of McCook’s concerts from back in the day.
And there were even some familiar faces spotted at the event, including Heather Tom (Katie), Don Diamont (Bill) and his wife Cindy Ambuehl, Scott Clifton (Liam), Romy Park (Poppy), Patrick Duffy (ex-Stephen), Alley Mills (ex-Pam; General Hospital’s Heather) and The Young and the Restless’ Peter Bergman (Jack) and his wife Mariellen, Melody Thomas Scott and her husband, B&B producer Edward Scott, as well as Lauralee Bell (Christine) and her husband Scott, plus Ray Wise (ex-Ian) and more…
In response to another video from the party, McCook’s former castmate, Daniel McVicar (ex-Clarke) cheered, “Hi John, Happy Birthday! It is great to see you celebrate like that! Big hugs! Ciao Bello!”
We too send the actor our extended birthday wishes!
