Danny Boyle is celebrating his 68th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, The Beach, Trainspotting, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 68th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Boyle, a cultural icon

Born Daniel Boyle in Radcliffe on October 20, 1956, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Boyle'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 Danny hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Danny Boyle as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 68.

Happy Birthday, Danny, you're the best!
