Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on October 12, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Hugh Jackman! May your celebrations contain fewer claws and far more applause. From raging Wolverine battles to dazzling Broadway tunes in "The Boy from Oz," you've shown us all it's possible to slice through adversaries with style AND hit the perfect high note.

Whether saving mutants or taking bows on stage, you manage charm like no other—it’s truly an adamantium-level talent! Here's hoping this year brings even greater adventures (but maybe less facial hair grooming). Stay amazing—you're proof that aging is just another special effect you're mastering brilliantly. Cheers—and please try not to shred the birthday cake too aggressively!
