Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on August 31, 1934)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Nikos Xanthopoulos! You've spent decades making us cry, laugh, and cheer as you portrayed every struggling working-class hero imaginable. With 48 films from 1958 to 1971 alone—plus over 30 more appearances—you've single-handedly kept Greek tissue companies in business!

And let's not forget your musical career: nine albums and fifty-five singles later, you've serenaded generations with heartfelt melodies that still echo today. Whether on screen or stage, nobody does "poor but proud" quite like you do. Here's wishing our favorite cinematic struggler another year of timeless charm—and perhaps fewer tears this time around!
