Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on December 20, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Joe Cornish! May your day be filled with more laughs than an Adam and Joe toy movie remake. From battling aliens in "Attack the Block" to making us giggle uncontrollably alongside Adam Buxton on "The Adam and Joe Show," you've consistently proven that creativity thrives best when paired with action figures, cardboard props, and a healthy dose of silliness.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—perhaps another cult classic or at least fewer alien invasions around South London estates. Keep inspiring laughter (and mild chaos) wherever you go; after all these years, you're still our favorite director-slash-comedian named Joe.
