The iconic and legendary director turns 53 on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026.

Harmony Korine is celebrating his 53rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Harmony Korine (Spring Breakers, Trash Humpers, Gummo, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 53rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Korine, a cultural icon

Born in Bolinas on January 4, 1973, Harmony Korine's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Korine'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 Harmony hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Harmony Korine as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 53.

Happy Birthday, Harmony, you're the best!
