Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is celebrating his 68th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed politicians of his generation.

Popular politician Kevin Rudd has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 68th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Rudd, a cultural icon

Born Kevin Michael Rudd in Nambour on September 21, 1957, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Australian history. Rudd's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Kevin hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Kevin Rudd as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 68.

Happy Birthday, Kevin, you're the best!
