Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on August 14, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Giorgio Chiellini! You're aging like fine Italian wine—stronger, wiser, and still terrifying strikers since your debut with Livorno back in 2000. Juventus fans have enjoyed nearly two decades of watching you tackle opponents (and occasionally nibble them), proving that defenders truly get better—and funnier—with age.

From lifting trophies to leading Italy's national team to Euro glory in 2021, you've shown the world how defending is an art form. May your birthday be filled with joy and laughter—but please remember: cake tastes much sweeter than opposing forwards!

Cheers to another year of legendary tackles!
