Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 23, 1972)

Happy birthday to the uniquely talented Ewen Bremner! From your unforgettable portrayal of Spud in "Trainspotting," making audiences laugh, cringe and deeply reflect at once, to your continued brilliance across an array of intriguing film characters; you're a timeless gem whose comedic timing is truly legendary.

Whether diving headfirst into chaotic escapades or lighting up scenes with quirky charisma, you make every role impossible to forget. Here's hoping this year continues bringing roles as entertainingly messy yet brilliantly endearing as Spud himself—with fewer awkward encounters involving bed linen mishaps. Cheers Ewen—keep giving us reasons not only for laughter but also reflection!
