Jennifer Aniston is wishing her friend and past costar Paul Rudd a happy birthday!

Aniston, 55, shared a scene featuring her and Rudd, who turned 55 on April 6, from their 2012 movie Wanderlust to her Instagram Stories on April 7 as she wished Rudd well.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL RUDD," she wrote in a caption to the video. "I love you, you ageless freak! ❤️🍰🎂🍰🎂❤️"

The scene Aniston shared from Wanderlust — a comedy in which she and Rudd star as a married couple who move from New York City to a commune in Georgia after losing their jobs — shows various commune members played by Kathryn Hahn, Alan Alda, Jordan Peele and more chastising Rudd's character after he swats a fly out of the air.

Wanderlust marked the second time Rudd and Aniston worked together on the big screen. The duo previously costarred in 1998's The Object of My Affection. Rudd also memorably played a supporting role in the final two seasons of Aniston's television classic Friends as Mike Hannigan, a love interest for Lisa Kudrow's character Phoebe.

Rudd has developed a reputation for seemingly never aging over 30 years and counting working in the film and television industry, which Aniston has shouted out in past social media posts marking the actor's birthday. "Happy birthday #PaulRudd!! You don't age, which is weird - but we celebrate you anyway ❤️ ❤️ ❤️," she wrote in a similar post shared to her Instagram Stories on Rudd's 52nd birthday back in 2021.

Aniston also echoed that comment later in 2021 when she congratulated Rudd on becoming PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, writing on the social media platform, "You don't age, which is weird, but we still love you."

In a January 2023 interview with Men's Health, Rudd himself shared that his secret to staying young and remaining in shape for his superhero role in the Ant-Man movies is getting eight hours of sleep each night.

"People ask me, ‘Can you send me your meal plan? How many times a week do you work out? Do you drink? Do you eat carbs? Do you have a cheat day?’ The most important part of training is sleep," he shared at the time.

Rudd, who has been married to his wife Julie Yaeger since 2003, most recently appeared on the big screen in Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
