Is McG secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

McG is celebrating his 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-producer McG (Charlie's Angels, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

McG, a cultural icon

Born Joseph McGinty Nichol in Kalamazoo on August 9, 1968, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. McG'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 McG hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for McG as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 57.

Happy Birthday, McG, you're the best!
