Michaël Youn is celebrating his 51st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation.

Popular comedian-actor-singer-television host Michaël Youn (Vive la France, Fatal, Le Morning Live, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 51st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Youn, a cultural icon

Born Michaël Benayoun in Suresnes on December 2, 1973, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Youn's not just a great comedian, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Michaël hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Michaël Youn as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 51.

Happy Birthday, Michaël, you're the best!
