Michael Bay is celebrating his 60th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-producer Michael Bay (Transformers, Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 60th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Bay, a cultural icon

Born Michael Benjamin Bay in Los Angeles on February 17, 1965, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Bay'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 Michael hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Michael Bay as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 60.

Happy Birthday, Michael, you're the best!
