Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on November 30, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Mcg—the cinematic mastermind who turned being a chubby white guy from Orange County into an endlessly entertaining art form! You've dazzled us repeatedly with your slick visuals, explosive action sequences, and of course, that bold single-name persona that's equal parts pretentious auteur and hip-hop wannabe. Only you could make directing look like being both Tarantino's nerdy cousin AND Eminem’s confused stepbrother.

From "Charlie's Angels" wild stunts to "Terminator Salvation", you've delivered box-office hits while effortlessly capturing the essence of stylish cool. Here's hoping this year brings more explosions (onscreen only!) and fewer identity crises—happy timeless birthday celebration!
