Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on January 10, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Alex Meraz! May your day sparkle brighter than a vampire in sunlight and be filled with more excitement than the wolf pack chasing vampires through Forks. Your portrayal of Paul Lahote in "New Moon" gave us unforgettable moments—especially that epic werewolf transformation scene which made fans howl louder than Jacob Black at karaoke night!

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater adventures beyond Twilight's shadowy forests. Whether you're dazzling audiences on screen or charming them off-screen, may success follow you like Edward Cullen follows Bella Swan (minus all the brooding). Keep shining bright—you truly are fang-tastic!
