Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on July 06, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Peter Hedges! May your day be filled with more delightful surprises than Timothy Green sprouting leaves from his ankles. Your storytelling has given us unforgettable characters—from Gilbert Grape's quirky charm to the whimsical magic of a boy who grows in the garden—proving that life's oddities are truly worth celebrating.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy and wonder as you've brought audiences through your heartfelt screenplays. Keep inspiring us all by turning everyday moments into extraordinary adventures—and remember, birthdays aren't about counting candles; they're about making sure Johnny Depp doesn't climb any water towers today!
