Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on May 16, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Joseph Morgan! May your day be filled with more charm than Klaus Mikaelson at a Mystic Falls masquerade ball. Your portrayal of the charismatic yet delightfully sinister Original vampire has forever raised our expectations for anti-heroes—no one else can make villainy look quite so stylish.

From compelling monologues to unforgettable smirks, you've given us countless iconic moments that fans still obsess over today. Here's hoping this year brings you as much success and excitement as Klaus had plotting his next mischievous move in New Orleans. Cheers to another timeless chapter ahead—you truly are immortalized in fandom hearts everywhere!
