Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on July 14, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Vladimir Kulich! From wielding swords as the fierce Erik in "Vikings," you've conquered screens and hearts alike. Your commanding presence made every battle scene unforgettable—honestly, who else could make raiding villages look so effortlessly cool?

Here's to another year of epic adventures both on-screen and off. May your celebrations be grander than a Viking feast (minus any pillaging), filled with laughter louder than Ragnar's war cry. Keep inspiring us all with your timeless charisma; after all, legends like you only get better with age!

Skål to more success ahead—you truly are our favorite Norseman!
