The iconic and legendary director turns 57 on Friday, Jun. 20, 2025.

Robert Rodriguez is celebrating his 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer-musician Robert Rodriguez (Machete, Planet Terror, Desperado, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Rodriguez, a cultural icon

Born Robert Anthony Rodríguez in San Antonio on June 20, 1968, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Rodriguez'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 Robert hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Robert Rodriguez as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 57.

Happy Birthday, Robert, you're the best!
