Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on December 29, 1988)

Happy birthday to the one and only Chris Vanderweir—America's favorite model slash Endurance Hawaii legend! From conquering intense endurance challenges under the sizzling Hawaiian sun, to effortlessly setting trends in fashion shoots—we still can't decide which task is tougher. Your unstoppable energy has us convinced you're secretly powered by sunshine and coconut milk.

As you celebrate another lap around this wild journey we call life, remember that aging gracefully means whatever you say it does (and for a timeless model, that's definitely an advantage). Keep dazzling us on camera—and off—with your infectious charisma. Here's wishing endless adventures ahead; may they be as exciting (but slightly less exhausting) than Endurance island!
