The iconic and legendary actor turns 65 on Thursday, Jul. 30, 2026.

Laurence Fishburne is celebrating his 65th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-director-producer Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 65th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Fishburne, a cultural icon

Born Laurence John Fishburne III in Augusta on July 30, 1961, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Fishburne's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Laurence hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Laurence Fishburne as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 65.

Happy Birthday, Laurence, you're the best!
