Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on January 08, 1973)

Happy Birthday, James Hooton! From your unforgettable portrayal of Sam Dingle in "Emmerdale," you've given us countless laughs, heartfelt moments, and a few questionable fashion choices. Your ability to make even the simplest scene memorable is truly unmatched—whether you're wrangling sheep or navigating family drama.

Here's hoping your birthday is as entertaining as your recent storylines (minus the drama!). May you continue to charm audiences with your humor and warmth for many more years. Keep being brilliant, James—after all, not everyone can pull off muddy boots and still look like a star! Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
