Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on October 15, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Didier Deschamps! The midfield maestro who became a national hero—twice. You expertly tackled everything on the pitch during your epic run with Marseille and Juventus, but nothing compared to lifting that gleaming FIFA World Cup trophy in 1998 which secured eternal glory for France (and unforgettable dance moves nationwide).

But why settle once? From sturdy midfielder to masterful manager guiding Les Bleus again triumphantly in 2018—you made winning world trophies look easier than pronouncing "croissant" correctly abroad. May your special day be filled with laughter as dependable as your defensive skills and joy more enduring than French cheese aging gracefully like you!
