The iconic and legendary director turns 55 on Wednesday, Jul. 30, 2025.

Christopher Nolan is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Christopher Nolan (Inception, Batman Begins, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Nolan, a cultural icon

Born Christopher Jonathan James Nolan in London on July 30, 1970, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Nolan's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Christopher hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Christopher Nolan as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 55.

Happy Birthday, Christopher, you're the best!
