Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on September 22, 1945)

Happy Birthday to the one and only Paul Le Mat! From cruising down the streets of Modesto as John Milner in "American Graffiti" with style, swagger, and that unforgettable yellow 1932 Ford Coupe—you've given us some timeless cinematic moments. You're truly America's favorite drag-racing rebel without a cause (but always with great hair!).

Cheers to your continued success both on-screen and off. Your charisma has left fans enthralled across generations; we're still quoting you decades later—proof you've nailed it perfectly. Wishing you plenty more exciting scenes ahead filled with cars ready to race—and absolutely no curfews! Have an incredible birthday, Paul.
