76 years old (Born on August 23, 1948)
Happy birthday to the unforgettable Rudy Ruettiger—the man whose inspiring journey from dreamer in the stands to Notre Dame football legend still makes grown folks cry. Not everyone gets an iconic movie celebrating sheer grit and stubbornness—some of us are just happy when someone remembers our name correctly on a coffee cup!Your perseverance reminded everyone that it's not about size or speed, but heart. Thanks for giving hope (and tears) every time we watch your incredible moment running onto that field. Here's hoping your special day brings you as much joy as you've given countless fans—just maybe fewer tackles!
