Jason Reitman is celebrating his 47th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno, Thank You for Smoking, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 47th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Reitman, a cultural icon

Born in Montreal on October 19, 1977, Jason Reitman's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Canadian history. Reitman'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 Jason hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jason Reitman as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 47.

Happy Birthday, Jason, you're the best!
