Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on November 27, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Sharlto! May your special day shine brighter than Wikus van de Merwe fleeing from an alien eviction notice. You've conquered hordes of extraterrestrials with style and wit; surely another year on Earth won’t be too much trouble!

From District 9's clueless yet courageous manager to every character you've flawlessly brought to life onscreen—the unpredictability you inject into roles always keeps us entertained. Whether you're battling aliens or charming viewers worldwide, we hope this birthday is as excitingly chaotic (but slightly less dangerous) as what we've witnessed so far.

Here's wishing you an epic celebration worthy of Hollywood—and Johannesburg alike!
