Former Brazilian President Lula is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed political figures of his generation.

Popular political figure Lula has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Lula, a cultural icon

Born Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Caetés on October 27, 1945, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Brazilian history. Lula's not just a great political figure, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Lula hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Lula as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Lula, you're the best!
