77 years old (Born on February 28, 1948)
Happy Birthday, Mike Figgis! Another year older and probably still experimenting with storytelling in ways none of us saw coming. From "Leaving Las Vegas" to your groundbreaking film techniques, you've consistently blurred the line between genius director and masterful magician. At this point, even Time itself seems at odds keeping up with your pace—congratulations!Seriously though, birthdays are like filmmaking—you've got to plan a little but embrace surprises too. Here's hoping you celebrate just like you shoot films: spontaneous yet masterfully executed…with plenty of memorable bloopers thrown in for good measure! Have an excellent birthday celebration!
