Peyton Reed is celebrating his 61st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director Peyton Reed (Ant-Man, Yes Man, The Break-Up, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 61st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Reed, a cultural icon

Born Peyton Tucker Reed in Raleigh on July 3, 1964, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Reed'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 Peyton hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Peyton Reed as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 61.
