  Is Orelsan secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Orelsan is celebrating his 44th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-actor-director Orelsan (Le Chant des sirènes, Perdu d'avance, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 44th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Orelsan, a cultural icon

Born Aurélien Cotentin in Alençon on August 1, 1982, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Orelsan's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Orelsan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Orelsan as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 44.

Happy Birthday, Orelsan, you're the best!
