Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on November 12, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Ryan Gosling! From charming us in "The Notebook" to keeping our hearts racing with suspenseful twists in "Murder by Numbers," you've proven that Canadians aren't just polite—they're also ridiculously talented. Your performances have made audiences swoon and critics applaud; honestly, we're still trying to figure out how you manage being effortlessly cool while making existential angst look so good.

Whether you're dazzling the screen as a jazz-loving romantic or diving deep into complex roles like your Oscar-nominated turn in "Half Nelson," one thing's clear: age is treating you better than ever. Keep shining bright—Hollywood wouldn't be nearly as dreamy without Canada's favorite heartthrob!
