Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on January 26, 1947)

Happy birthday to the unforgettable Patrick Dewaere! Your brilliant portrayal of Pierrot in "Going Places" (1974) still has us laughing, cringing, and marveling at your fearless charm. Who else could make reckless misadventures look so effortlessly cool?

Your talent for capturing complex characters with humor and depth continues to inspire audiences today. Whether it's that mischievous grin or those iconic scenes alongside Gérard Depardieu—your performances remain timeless classics we revisit again and again.

Here's wishing you a day filled with laughter as bold as your roles—and may every adventure ahead be just slightly less chaotic than Pierrot's escapades!
