Rian Johnson is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Rian Johnson (The Last Jedi, Looper, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Johnson, a cultural icon

Born Rian Craig Johnson in Baltimore on December 17, 1973, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Johnson'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 Rian hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Rian Johnson as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Rian, you're the best!
