Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on June 02, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Lasse Hallström! From charming us with the whimsical sweetness of "Chocolat" to tugging at our heartstrings in "The Cider House Rules," you've consistently delivered cinematic gems that linger long after credits roll. Your films have a magical way of blending humor and humanity—much like birthday cake blends sugar and happiness.

Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps even more Oscar nods (because let's face it—you've earned them!). May your day be as delightful as Johnny Depp's chocolate shop adventures or ABBA’s catchy tunes from your early days directing music videos. Cheers!
