Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on April 14, 1973)

Happy birthday, Adrien Brody! You're the only guy who can quietly play a piano and yet loudly steal our hearts at the same time. Ever since your iconic Oscar-winning role in 'The Pianist,' you've been mastering dramatic intensity better than Chopin himself—and truth be told, you even made surviving wartime peril look effortlessly cool.

Your diverse characters—from outsmarting predators on alien planets to giving Wes Anderson films their perfect quirkiness—continue to amaze us all. Yet we still can't figure how someone so elegant manages to handle both gritty dramas and whimsical comedies without breaking a sweat (or nose). Here's hoping this birthday hits just as perfectly as your performances do!
