  Is Julien Courbet secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Julien Courbet is celebrating his 61st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed journalists of his generation.

Popular journalist-television host Julien Courbet (Sans aucun doute, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 61st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Courbet, a cultural icon

Born Frédéric René Courbet in Bordeaux on February 7, 1965, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Courbet's not just a great journalist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Julien hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Julien Courbet as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 61.

Happy Birthday, Julien, you're the best!
