Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on September 18, 1963)

Happy Birthday, John Powell! May your day be filled with more excitement than a dragon-riding Viking soaring through Berk. Your Oscar-nominated score for "How to Train Your Dragon" didn't just enchant audiences—it made us all secretly wish we had pet dragons and epic adventures set to music.

From thrilling spy chases in the Bourne series to whimsical melodies of animated classics like "Kung Fu Panda," you've composed soundtracks that stick around longer than popcorn kernels under theater seats. Here's hoping this birthday hits every high note—just as you have done throughout your incredible career. Keep orchestrating magic, maestro!
