James Marsden celebrated his 50th birthday in style.
The Emmy nominee, who has proven he has the abs of a man half his age, was toasted by dozens of friends at a party thrown by tequila company Casamigos Monday in Beverly Hills.
The Jury Duty star shared snaps and video from the festivities on his Instagram Stories, revealing that the centerpiece of the celebrations was a cake with a black and white photo from his modeling days.
The flashback snap featured a shirtless James with gold ‘5’ and ‘0’ candles at the top of the photo and the words ‘Happy Birthday James’ beneath.
The party was held at the Sheats-Goldstein residence which has been featured in multiple music videos, including Doja Cat’s Say So, and in Nelly’s The Fix.
Famous friends including Westworld co-stars Ben Barnes and Aaron Paul, as well as Shock and Awe pal Woody Harrelson as well as Jury Duty co-star Ronald Gladden were there to toast his good health.
Aaron Paul was seen holding the personalized mug with a collage of James’ face on it made by Westworld star Tessa Thompson.
James kept his look comfortable for the big day, stepping out in basic black.
The Dead to Me actor looked dapper in a black suit and shoes with a black T-shirt as he posed for a photo thanking Casamigos and the company’s global VP Rachel Zalis for the party.
‘A huge thanks to @casamigos and @rachelzalis for keeping the party going strong and the drinks flowing late!’ the guest of honor wrote on a photo from the big night.
Besides serving big chunks of the hunky cake, guests were treated to Shake Shack sliders and mixed drinks in the birthday boy’s honor.
‘@shakesshack with the burger drop,’ the Disenchanted actor wrote on his Instagram Story.
Cocktails included; Cucumber Jalapeno Margaritas, Passion Fruit Margaritas and Casa Ranch Water, which was a mix of Casamigos Cristalino Tequila, sparkling water and lime.
Social media birthday wishes came in from friends and well-wishers.

Dead to Me creator Liz Feldman shared a photo of the star from the set writing ‘Happy birthday to the deeply kind and wildly talented @james_marsden! Love you Marsdy.’
Westworld writer Lisa Joy shared a photo of the Hollywood hunk from his modeling days in a mustard yellow cardigan and a sleeveless T-shirt writing ‘Happy birthday to my favorite cardigan model @james-marsden.’
James responded ‘Some of my best cardigan work! Thank you for the birthday love,’ and tagging the Emmy nominated writer.
Stylist Ilaria Urbinati penned, ‘Just a good ole photo dump of birthday king @james-marsden consistently showing up for me for over a decade and just being the all around greatest friend, confidante and good time that he is.’
‘It’s one thing to be the star that he is and it’s a whole other thing to be present and show up for the people in his life every single time – and he’s always been that – for me and for everyone lucky enough to call him a friend. Love you loads JM! You deserve the (world emoji.’)
