Legendary actress Joan Collins is proving that age is nothing but a number as she dances to Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.” The glamorous star is soaking up the summer sun in style, reminding fans to embrace life’s simple joys.
Joan Collins is embracing the summer spirit with pure joy on her vacation! The “Dynasty” star shared a delightful video on Instagram on Tuesday, July 16, featuring herself dancing in the pool to Pharrell Williams’ upbeat track “Happy.”
At 91 years young, Collins was accompanied by her husband Percy Gibson and her friend, director and choreographer Paul Robinson, whom they vacation with from time to time.
The iconic English actress exuded timeless elegance, sporting a chic white one-piece swimsuit paired with a matching visor and stylish sunglasses. In the video, the trio can be seen raising their hands and grooving in the water.
Alongside the video, Collins humorously captioned, “#ahubby and @paulrob44 are great dancers. Me…not so much. But we’re all #happy !!” The post quickly garnered an outpouring of love from fans, who flocked to the comments to express their admiration.
One fan gushed, “❤️ Having a fab time Joan ❤️You are amazing for your age, so much energy.❤️ And still looking stunning ❤️.” Another admirer wrote, “Love this! Such glamour, Joan! 💃Xx.” A different commenter was inspired by Collins’ zest for life, saying, “I hope this is me in a pool at 90 with two guys 😂😂😂😂.”
One fan simply stated, “How lovely! Joan, you are amazing !! X.” The compliments kept rolling in, with another fan marveling, “Really fantastic…but are we sure that she is really 90 more or less? To me, it is unbelievable! 😍.”
Another commenter humorously noted, “I see a girl..enjoy..with 2 guys..I love this..” while someone else mistook one of the men for an Australian actor, asking, “Is that George Lazenby? So jealous!”
Joan Collins seems to find her bliss while hanging out in pools, making it her ultimate happy place. Last year, the legendary actress was spotted enjoying some poolside relaxation in France with stylist and radio host Rene Horsch.
Horsch shared a series of photos, with the first slide featuring the two of them savoring a tropical drink in the pool. The subsequent photos captured Collins’ striking poses in various picturesque settings around the pool.
In August 2022, Collins once again showcased her love for pool life by sharing another delightful video. In the Instagram clip posted on a sunny Saturday, the actress, then 89, looked fabulous in a light blue bikini.
She danced joyfully to Blondie’s “Heart of Glass,” accessorized with a beige sun hat and sunglasses. Cooling off in her St. Tropez pool, she exclaimed, “Yay, summer!” while her husband, Percy Gibson, could be heard laughing behind the camera.
The video sparked a mix of reactions from viewers. One critical commenter expressed displeasure, stating, “She should be covering that up. She isn’t 25 anymore.”
Another added, “No one wants to see an 89-year-old woman in a bikini.” A particularly judgmental comment read, “The woman has no shame,” while someone else bluntly labeled the actress as “shameless.”
Despite the negative remarks, Collins continues to embrace her vibrant lifestyle, proving age is just a number when it comes to having fun and staying fabulous.
Joan Collins’ free-spirited nature isn’t the only aspect of her life drawing attention. Her marriage to her younger husband, Percy Gibson, has also been a topic of conversation. Despite the buzz, Collins, 91, and Gibson, 59, remain unbothered by the 32-year age difference.
In a candid interview, Collins shared insights into their relationship, expressing, “We love each other in a very deep way.” She emphasized that their bond transcends the traditional roles of husband and wife or lovers, highlighting mutual admiration and genuine liking for each other.
Having been married four times before—to Maxwell Reed, Anthony Newley, Ron Kass, and Peter Holm—Collins believes this marriage is her most successful. She attributed this success to the strong foundation they built before committing to each other.
The couple first met in 2000 when Gibson produced a play Collins starred in, and their friendship blossomed from there. They discovered they had much in common, enjoying the same activities and sharing similar interests.
Collins revealed that they both have a passion for theater, especially musical theater. They also love reading, playing cards, and challenging each other in Scrabble. Neither of them is particularly fond of outdoor activities, preferring to spend time indulging in their shared hobbies.
This deep connection and shared interests have solidified their bond, making their relationship a true partnership based on mutual respect and love.
While Collins has enjoyed a remarkable acting career spanning more than seven decades, her husband Gibson has carved out his own successful path in the entertainment industry. Hailing from Peru, Gibson is a talented producer and actor.
One of his notable projects includes the 2017 comedy film “The Time of Their Lives,” which features Collins in a starring role. Gibson also produced the thriller “Murder Between Friends.” Additionally, he has an acting credit for the 2009 film “Banksy’s Coming for Dinner.”
As Collins and Gibson keep doing life together, they each thrive in their respective careers while sharing a deep, enduring love. Their remarkable partnership, built on mutual respect and common interests, continues to captivate and inspire those around them.
