Éric Serra is celebrating his 66th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician-composer Éric Serra (The Fifth Element, Léon: The Professional, The Big Blue, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 66th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Serra, a cultural icon

Born in Saint-Mandé on September 9, 1959, Éric Serra's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Serra's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Éric hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Éric Serra as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 66.

Happy Birthday, Éric, you're the best!
