Beloved Maltese actor Mark Doneo took to social media to celebrate his wife, fellow actress Louise Doneo, on her birthday – and his message has fans both laughing and swooning.
In his signature witty-yet-affectionate style, Mark wrote: ‘Stay young, please, so I can feel young too, and not hear my bones crack when I get up and before I go to bed. And when I climb the stairs. And when I lift the gas cylinder. And when I cut my toenails’, finishing with a sweet ‘Stay young. Forever and ever.’
Equal parts heartfelt and humorous, Mark’s message perfectly captures the real-life quirks of long-term love – from the everyday struggles of aging to the comfort of having a partner who makes life lighter.
Fans were quick to react, celebrating the couple’s evident bond and Mark’s ability to mix comedy with sincerity.
Here’s wishing Louise Doneo a wonderful birthday – may she stay ‘żgħira għal dejjem ta’ dejjem’, just as her husband so charmingly wishes.
Best of wishes, Louise!
