The iconic and legendary actor turns 60 on Wednesday, Apr. 24, 2024.

Djimon Hounsou is celebrating his 60th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-model Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy, Never Back Down, Gladiator, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 60th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Hounsou, a cultural icon

Born Djimon Gaston Hounsou in Cotonou on April 24, 1964, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Beninese history. Hounsou'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 Djimon hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Djimon Hounsou as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 60.

Happy Birthday, Djimon, you're the best!
