Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on October 22, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Spike Jonze! May your day be as delightfully quirky and imaginative as the worlds you've created—from the whimsical absurdity of "Being John Malkovich" to the heartfelt introspection of "Her." Your films remind us that love can be found in unexpected places—even inside a smartphone operating system!

Here's hoping your birthday celebration is filled with more surprises than a Beastie Boys music video and more joy than Christopher Walken dancing through Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." Keep inspiring us with your boundless creativity, Spike—because nobody captures life's beautiful weirdness quite like you. Cheers to another year!
