Model and actress Brooke Shields will turn 60 years old on May 31. To celebrate, the iconic star has decided to launch a year-long celebration where she tries new things that she has always wanted to do.
Shields posted a series of photos to Instagram captioned, “Thus begins the big, year-long 60th birthday celebration. My goal: doing things I’ve never done before and have always wanted to do! Most importantly… doing them with friends & people I love. This sounded like the best way to celebrate instead of one big party.”
Her first activity? Helping to birth baby lambs on the Chartsworth farm at the Chartsworth Estate in Derbyshire, England.

“First stop: spending a few days helping bring little lives into the world 🐑👩🌾🌾 Little Lambs – oh how I love you!! Thank you for having me, @chatsworthofficial! 🩵,” writes Shields.
In the comments, fans are so excited for her journey this year. One wrote, “60 is looking amazing on you! As well as your attitude towards embracing it and not limiting yourself. Pursue it all.🙌🏻🫶🏻❤️😊🥳.”
Another added, “The best way to celebrate the life 🥳💜💜💜.”
“Happy Birthday! That’s a great way to celebrate!” wrote a third fan.
Shields also asked her followers for suggestions of what else she could do in this “Year of Yes” celebration, writing, “Not sure what the next stop on the celebration will be… any suggestions? It could be as simple as going to a botanical garden or on a hike in a park upstate.”
Her followers were quick to offer lots of suggestions.
“I know what you should do go say hi to your friend Mariska @therealmariskahargitay, and go to a beach somewhere and just lay down and relax and look at the ocean and look what God created for you. Happy birthday, enjoy your day,” wrote one follower.
“There is a beautiful botanical garden outside Philadelphia that I highly recommend called Chanticleer,” wrote another fan.
A third added, “If in NY go to the Van Gogh’s Starry Nights after dark show that includes artwork recreated with drones. At the NY Botanical Gardens. It’s on our summer bucket list.”
One fan suggested she “go back to dance class,” but we’ll do that one better — Dancing With the Stars is looking for season 34 contestants. Shields said about 12 years ago that she would not be able to do DWTS because of her bad knee, but in 2018, she had surgery on her knee, so perhaps now is the perfect time to try out the ballroom.
