Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on January 08, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Sam Riley! From your unforgettable portrayal of Ian Curtis in "Control," you've proven that nobody rocks a trench coat and brooding stare quite like you. Seriously—your intense performances have us convinced you're secretly training to win the world's most dramatic staring contest.

Whether it's bringing literary classics alive with charm or effortlessly stealing scenes on screen, your talent continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Here's hoping this year brings even more iconic roles—and perhaps fewer gloomy Manchester skies!

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun filled with laughter, success, and plenty of cake (just don't lose control)!
