Billy Zane, best known for playing Cal Hockley in Titanic, took to Instagram this weekend to salute dads everywhere with a breezy seaside snapshot. The 57-year-old actor kept things simple—no red carpet or cinematic backdrop—just a candid moment by the water and a friendly reminder to take care.
Father’s Day Message
In the image, Zane appears shirtless against a sun-dappled shoreline, sporting sunglasses and a laid-back smile. His caption read: “Happy Father’s Day fellas. Keep it safe.” Fans flooded the post with congratulatory messages and playful banter, many praising his unfiltered style and easygoing vibe. While he didn’t name-drop any special Father’s Day plans, the post offered a glimpse of Zane enjoying some downtime away from film sets and gallery openings.
Off screen, Zane has been balancing his life as a dad with his creative pursuits. He shares a son, Nikolas — now in his mid-20s — and has often described parenting as one of his greatest inspirations. This Father’s Day greeting was Zane’s latest way of checking in with his followers, a casual salute rather than a polished promo.
Actor-turned-artist
Beyond blockbuster roles, Zane has quietly built a reputation as an accomplished visual artist. Earlier this year, he invited fans to explore his TENSION FIELD exhibition across Los Angeles and San Francisco venues. On March 22, he posted a carousel teasing his latest works and encouraged followers to visit BillyZaneArt.com, @loisirartgallery and @luminaire showroom for a “live in the flesh” experience (Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKxNS4Avcqr/).
He’s also hosted art-and-design gatherings, most recently a West Hollywood cocktail reception at the Luminaire showroom. There, Zane presented a curated selection of paintings—each exploring emotional currents through bold brushstrokes—and mingled with guests from the worlds of fashion and auto design (Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKvY3fdPY79/).
The actor-artist’s two-pronged career has earned him praise from both movie buffs and gallery visitors. “Creativity is a language,” Zane said at one opening, “and whether I’m in front of a camera or behind a canvas, I’m always speaking from the same place.”
On film, Zane’s credits span from the musical Chicago to the superhero flick Zorro: The Gay Blade. He’s lent his distinctive voice to animated series, and in recent years he’s appeared on trend-driven streaming projects, reinforcing his status as a versatile character actor.
Always one to juggle multiple passions, Zane has hinted at future exhibitions and upcoming collaborations with design partners. His Father’s Day post may have been uncluttered, but it followed a steady stream of creative announcements and event invites, reminding fans that his art practice is as ongoing as his Hollywood career.
Whether he’s painting on canvas or boarding a boat for a happy snap, Zane seems to approach both fatherhood and artistry with equal enthusiasm. His simple message—“Keep it safe”—doubles as a mantra for personal well-being and creative exploration, a fitting note for a star who lives life in both the limelight and the studio.
