Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on December 17, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Rian Johnson! From launching your ingenious filmmaking career with the edgy brilliance of "Brick," to giving us all whodunit fever with "Knives Out" and its devilishly charming sequel—we're convinced you may secretly be a cinematic Sherlock Holmes in disguise. Seriously though, it's hard not to admire someone who can casually reinvent murder mysteries while still making cable-knit sweaters trend worldwide.

Here's wishing another fantastic year filled with plot twists happier than Benoit Blanc at an unsolvable crime scene. May life always hand you perfectly framed shots, scenes that sparkle like witty dialogue—and absolutely zero angry Star Wars fan letters!
