Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on February 22, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Paul! To the creative genius behind Shameless—both delightfully wild UK original and unapologetically daring US sibling—we toast you today. You've mastered capturing chaos with warmth, crafting lovable rogues whose antics redefine family entertainment (in a wonderfully dysfunctional way!).

From gripping us onto our seats in State of Play to making hearts race during Touching Evil—you've given crime dramas an irresistible Abbott touch. May your birthday celebrations rival Frank Gallagher's finest misadventures: bold, shamelessly fun-filled—and slightly unforgettable!

Here's hoping your next chapter unfolds as compellingly unpredictable as any story you've brilliantly imagined for screen!
