Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on September 22, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Godfrey Gao! From charming us all on the runways to becoming everyone's favorite supernatural hero as Magnus Bane in 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,' you've dazzled audiences while maintaining impeccably good hair days. Seriously—how do you make fighting demons look so effortlessly stylish?

We'd love to toast another year of your amazing presence—both onscreen and off. Whether you're walking fashion shows or capturing magical adventures, one thing remains certain: aging clearly respects your modeling contract by refusing to take any effect whatsoever. Wishing endless laughter today—and fewer demon sightings this coming year (unless they're fashionable)!
