Let's make this birthday one to remember.

26 years old (Born on December 28, 1998)

Happy birthday to Jared Gilman—forever remembered as the bold and witty Sam Shakusky, who packed binoculars, a raccoon hat, and enough courage to conquer Moonrise Kingdom! Your quirky performance truly raised Wes Anderson's wilderness standards. Even years later, we still wonder if you've mastered Khaki Scout knot-tying or improved your running away skills.

Congrats on continually charming audiences beyond New Penzance Island with each new project you take up (though honestly—we'll always imagine you in that iconic coonskin cap). Have an amazing day filled with cake slices larger than Captain Sharp’s megaphone—and keep shining bright like it's perpetual golden hour!
