Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on June 29, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Gary Busey! From your wild-eyed antics in classics like "The Gumball Rally" to your unforgettable adventures on the big screen and beyond, you've gifted us with countless laughs. Presented always with trademark enthusiasm (and wonderfully unconventional wisdom), you make every role completely unique—whether it's racing across America or dropping honest yet hilarious truths on reality TV.

You've tackled everything from portraying Buddy Holly brilliantly to charming audiences as a delightfully unpredictable force: iconic lines and memorable expressions included. Keep smiling that beautifully eccentric smile; may this year bring more joy, laughter—and perhaps fewer surprises than usual. Cheers!
