Édouard Baer is celebrating his 59th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-director-screenwriter Édouard Baer (An Ordinary Execution, Molière, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 59th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Born in Paris on December 1, 1966, Édouard Baer's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Baer'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 Édouard hasn't done.

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

Happy Birthday, Édouard, you're the best!
