Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on May 02, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Stephen Daldry! May your day be as uplifting as Billy Elliot's pirouettes and more memorable than Nicole Kidman's Oscar-winning nose in "The Hours." Your films have taught us that life is complex, beautiful, and occasionally requires dancing shoes or prosthetic noses.

From the emotional depth of "The Reader" to the heartfelt storytelling of "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," you've consistently moved audiences (and award committees!) worldwide. Here's hoping this year brings you even more standing ovations—though honestly, after Tony Awards and Oscar nominations galore, you're probably running out of shelf space by now. Cheers to another brilliant chapter!
