Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on July 26, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Frederic Diefenthal! From speeding through Marseille's streets in "Taxi" to charming audiences with your impeccable comedic timing, you've always known how to keep us laughing and entertained. Your portrayal of Émilien remains iconic—proving that even the most serious police officers can have hilariously chaotic days.

As you celebrate another year, may life continue offering roles as thrilling (and slightly less dangerous) than chasing criminals at breakneck speeds. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer traffic tickets but just as many laughs and adventures!

Cheers to more timeless performances ahead—you truly are France’s favorite taxi passenger turned hero!
