Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on January 08, 1951)

Happy Birthday, John Mctiernan! Another year older and you're still directing life like it's your next blockbuster movie. Your track record—explosive action scenes, iconic film moments—is nothing short of incredible. You've shown us that blowing things up isn't just fun; it's an art form.

From "Die Hard" to "Predator," you've set cinematic standards impossible to beat—or match without accidentally setting something on fire. Honestly, at this point we suspect you could turn grocery shopping into an adrenaline-packed thriller.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with excitement, laughs, and fewer explosions (unless that's exactly what you want!). Yippee Ki-Yay—enjoy the day!
