Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on May 12, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Gavin Hood! May your day be filled with more excitement than Wolverine's claws at a manicure salon and fewer plot twists than Ender's Game. Your talent for bringing epic stories to life has given us thrilling adventures—though we're still debating who had the tougher job: directing mutants or managing teenage space commanders.

From exploring mutant origins to navigating interstellar battles, you've proven that storytelling is truly your superpower. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—and perhaps fewer headaches from adamantium-infused actors. Keep inspiring audiences worldwide; after all, you're one director whose career never needs a reboot!
