Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on January 19, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Larry Clark! May your day be as unforgettable and daring as the gritty realism you brought to life in "Kids," making us all rethink our teenage years (and maybe double-check what our kids are up to). Your fearless storytelling in "Another Day in Paradise" and "Bully" continues to resonate, reminding us that sometimes reality is stranger—and far more compelling—than fiction.

Here's hoping your birthday celebration is filled with fewer controversies than your films but just as much excitement. Keep pushing boundaries, Larry; cinema wouldn't be nearly as interesting without your bold vision. Cheers to another year of groundbreaking storytelling!
