The Avengers star celebrated her 49th birthday in style as she was completely naked and soaked in a bathtub.

The actress turned 49 last September 27 and she celebrated her special day as special as it could be. Gwyneth Paltrow posted a photo of herself on Instagram in a bathtub, naked and chest covered. She skipped on makeup and tied her hair in a neat bun.

Gwen reposted Instagram stories of people who wished her a happy birthday. The actress who is known not just for her looks but for her wit and good heart received an outpour of love during her special day. 

What completed Gwyneth's day must be the overly long post that husband Brad Falchuck posted on his Instagram. This was together with a picture of Gwyneth sitting outside, looking off into the distance.

"When you live with this woman, a few things become clear. There are the obvious things - that she’s beautiful, that she’s funny, that she likes things the way she likes them, when she likes them. That she is always busy - but also always has time for you. But the two things that really stand out are that she notices. And she acts. A lot of people notice without acting. They notice. Then they complain or they gossip or they shrug. And a lot of people act without noticing. Sometimes it’s helpful, but that is a dangerous way to act. Because you’re usually just acting for yourself. But Gwyneth notices and acts."

Gwyneth's husband explained how she is sensitive about the things that her loved ones really need.

"She may notice you need a hug and give you an outstanding one. She may notice that you’re hungry and make you a delicious egg sandwich. She may notice you love the Red Sox and she will live and die with them even if she doesn’t understand what the hell is going on in the game. She may notice that you’re tired all the time and she will get you the right doctor to balance your hormones or create a little chewy square to help you sleep or wake up or teach you to meditate. She may notice that people still get weird about the word vagina and she will do something so that, for a few days at least, everyone is saying that word. She may notice that women are feeling funny about their bodies and how they are working and she will find brilliant people for them to talk to about it or have those experts write an article for Goop."

The long message also mentioned Gwyneth being aware of abuse and injustice in the society and how Gwyneth being a victim would still take a stand and fight for it

"She may notice that there is injustice. That there are people who abuse others and she will take a stand for the victims, even if it’s scary. Even if she was a victim, too. She will notice that birthdays matter and so she will always show up to your party with a great gift. She will notice that you worked hard on something and she will amplify your work with whatever credibility she was earned. She will also notice if you are driving like an asshole and act using her swear words and middle finger. I could go on and on. Really."

Brad's long message for the birthday celebrant ended with a sweet greeting for his wife.

"Today is Gwyneth’s birthday. So today we notice her like she notices us every day. And we celebrate her because if anyone deserves to be celebrated it’s you, Gwyneth. Happy birthday. ❤️"
