John Cena supports "We Are America" this Independence Day
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jessica Chastain and Mariah Carey were among the stars celebrating America"s Independence Day holiday with patriotic posts on social media.
Celebrities across the world took to Twitter and Instagram to mark the occasion on Monday, with Austrian-born action man Schwarzenegger remembering the day he became a U.S. citizen back in 1983.
Sharing a photo of himself at the swearing-in ceremony, he wrote, "Happy July 4! One of the proudest days of my life was the day I became a citizen of the greatest country on Earth."
Carey shared a picture of herself posing next to a batch of sunflowers, and simply captioned the snap, "Happy Independence Day," while newlywed actress Eva Longoria hinted at how she would be celebrating the holiday by writing, "Happy 4th everyone! America is 240 years old and still looking good! #RedWineAndBlue".
Rockers KISS saluted the nation"s armed forces by tweeting, "Happy July 4th! Let"s celebrate great American heroes who won our independence & those who continue to keep us free", and La Toya Jackson urged fans to stay safe, posting: "GM (Good morning) Guys Happy 4th of July! And #HappyBirthdayAmerica! Be safe and enjoy your #FourthofJuly #Fun #america #LetFreedomRing".
Meanwhile, as his fellow Americans prepared to party, rapper/actor Ludacris was gearing up to entertain the troops with an Independence Day concert at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"Happy 4th of July!! Blessed that I get to celebrate it doing what I do best. #showkillas #cuba," he posted.
He wasn"t the only American marking the day abroad - Jessica Chastain is currently on vacation in France, but she was presented with a cake decorated in the style of the U.S. flag.
Showing off the themed-cake as she waved a flag, she stated, "What a beautiful #july4th surprise! Sending so much love to my countrymen from across the sea!"
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates co-stars Zac Efron and Adam Devine also shared a picture of themselves on a plane to Australia, telling fans, "Even though we"re heading down under to visit the mates- we"re flying for America right now," while actress Patricia Heaton joked about the holiday while in U.K., tweeting, "Funny, #IndependenceDay doesn"t seem like a big deal over here. #happy4thofjuly!"
But not all Brits are still bitter about the day Americans gained independence from the British Empire - Paul McCartney uploaded a photo of himself waving a large American flag onstage and captioned the image: "Happy #IndependenceDay!", and The Hunger Games star Sam Claflin tweeted: "Happy 4th July. Happy Independence Day to all my American family and friends! Love to you all".
