Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on December 04, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Alex De la Iglesia! May your special day be filled with fewer mutants and beasts than usual—but just enough dark humor to keep things interesting. From the delightfully twisted chaos of "Mutant Action" in 1993 to winning a well-deserved Goya Award for Best Director with "The Day of the Beast," you've consistently shown us that laughter can indeed coexist comfortably alongside horror.

Your films have taught audiences worldwide one valuable lesson: when life hands you darkness, add some satire and call it art. Here's hoping this year brings even more cinematic brilliance—and perhaps slightly less apocalyptic mayhem. ¡Feliz cumpleaños!
