Dany Boon is celebrating his 59th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation.

Popular comedian-actor-director Dany Boon (Nothing to Declare, Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 59th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Boon, a cultural icon

Born Daniel Hamidou in Armentières on June 26, 1966, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Boon's not just a great comedian, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Dany hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Dany Boon as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 59.

Happy Birthday, Dany, you're the best!
