Michael, 79, was seen seated beside other similarly aged Mallorca citizens outside Valldemossa Town Hall.
The Wall Street actor, who sported a mane of stark white hair, was spotted chatting and laughing with the other honorees while wearing a light blue button-up.
The Hollywood legend looked youthful and full of life as enjoyed the ceremony.
The event, part of the village’s La Beata Fiestas, is an annual celebration that pays tribute to the village residents who have turned or will be turning 80 that year.

The new or soon-to-be octogenarians are presented with a porcelain figure representing the Catalonian town’s Saint.
Michael was invited to attend because he is a resident of Valldemossa and will turn 80 on September 25, 2024.
SHOCKING RESPONSE
Earlier this month, The View hosts were stunned after Michael revealed the secret of his marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, 54.
The award-winning actors have been married since November 18, 2000.
During an interview, Michael spoke to the hosts about his and The Chicago star’s love of golf.
When asked what Catherine makes him do when he loses, Michael shocked the hosts with his cheeky response.

“What does she make you do when you lose to her?” asked co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin.
Michael responded, “Whip it out.”
As the hosts laughed, the Fatal Attraction star continued, “She says, ‘You’ve gotta whip it out.’
“Drop the trou and whip it out,” he elaborated.
Michael added, “That’s the secret to a marriage.”
The Wall Street actor went on to say he doesn’t do it any more as he’s getting older.
“I’m going to be 80 in September, so now I play off of ladies tees, too, so I don’t have to do that anymore.”
While most of the co-hosts shared a chuckle at Michael’s comment, Whoopi Goldberg, too shocked to respond, sat at the table with her hand over her mouth.
CATHERINE’S THE ONE
This isn’t the first time Michael has spoken out about his relationship with his longtime wife and their love of golf.
In April, Michael was having a chat with Ross King while on Lorraine, and he revealed that golf brought the couple together.

“You know, Catherine loves golf,” he said. “That was actually kind of the closest we first got together.
“Things were looking good and I said, ‘What do you think of golf?’
“She said, ‘Oh, I love golf!’, and I said, ‘Oh, you do?’ That’s too good to be true.”
He also revealed that soon after they met, Michael knew Catherine was the one.
He remembered telling her, “I want to father your children,” soon after the pair first met in 1998.

ROLLERCOASTER ROMANCE
Despite their many years of marriage, their love story hasn’t been smooth sailing.
In 2013, the pair separated for about a year.
At the time of their split, Michael opened up to Extra TV about the separation.
“Catherine and I are fine,” he said.
“The press tries to push it along a little faster. We’re taking a little break.
“We talk. I think everything will be great.”
After the pair reconciled, he told Ellen, “I’m crazy about her… I think every couple has their difficulties.
“The only problem is, as you well know, we’re all in the public eye, and it tends to get a little more exposed than most.”
Despite their brief split, Michael said, “We’re back stronger than ever.”
