Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on September 26, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Jake Paltrow! Another year older and wiser—though as a talented film director, you've always known how to keep the plot interesting. From your captivating storytelling in "Young Ones" to your insightful documentary "De Palma," you’ve consistently shown us that behind every great scene is an even greater visionary.

May this birthday be filled with laughter, cake (hopefully not directed by someone else), and plenty of inspiration for future masterpieces. Keep rolling those cameras; we can't wait to see what brilliant stories you'll bring next. Cheers to another fantastic year ahead—and remember: aging gracefully is just good directing!
