Bill Nighy is celebrating his 75th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Bill Nighy (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Love Actually, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 75th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Nighy, a cultural icon

Born William Francis Nighy in Caterham on December 12, 1949, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Nighy's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Bill hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Bill Nighy as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 75.

Happy Birthday, Bill, you're the best!
