Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on January 10, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Mehdi Nebbou! From your unforgettable portrayal of Ali Hassan Salameh in Spielberg's "Munich," to captivating audiences at Cannes with the intriguing thriller "Schläfer," you've proven that talent and charisma never go out of style. Your performances continue to inspire—and occasionally terrify—us all.

Here's wishing you another year filled with cinematic triumphs, festival applause, and perhaps fewer espionage plots (unless they're fictional!). May your birthday be as thrilling as a premiere night at the San Francisco Film Festival—but hopefully without any seeds of doubt about how much you're admired. Cheers to more adventures ahead!
