  Is Neil Jordan secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Neil Jordan is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-author Neil Jordan (Interview with the Vampire, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Jordan, a cultural icon

Born Neil Patrick Jordan in Sligo on February 25, 1950, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Irish history. Jordan'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 Neil hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Neil Jordan as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.

Happy Birthday, Neil, you're the best!
