Edgar Wright is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Wright, a cultural icon

Born Edgar Howard Wright in Poole on April 18, 1974, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Wright'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 Edgar hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Edgar Wright as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Edgar, you're the best!
