Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 13, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Howard Marks! From smuggling adventures to bestselling author—your life has been one wild ride. Who knew that trading contraband would lead you straight into bookstores and onto movie screens? Your autobiography "Mr. Nice" remains a timeless classic, proving once again that truth is indeed stranger (and funnier) than fiction.

Whether charming audiences in films like "Human Traffic" or captivating readers worldwide with your incredible tales of mischief and mayhem—you've always kept us entertained. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer border checks but plenty more laughs!

Cheers to another year as everyone's favorite lovable rogue—stay nice!
