Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on December 06, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Craig Brewer! May your celebration have more rhythm and hustle than Terrence Howard laying down beats. Another year older—but like a good screenplay, you're just getting better with age!

From bringing Memphis soul to life in "Hustle & Flow," earning an Oscar-winning anthem along the way (it's hard out here for everyone except you!), you've proven creativity doesn't skip a beat. Your unique voice behind the camera continues entertaining audiences—we're eagerly awaiting whatever gritty yet uplifting journey you'll craft next.

Here's hoping this birthday tops every chart—just don't go throwing microphones around when blowing out candles!
