Russell Brand is celebrating his 51st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian Russell Brand (Get Him to the Greek, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 51st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Brand, a cultural icon

Born Russell Edward Brand in Grays on June 4, 1975, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Brand's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Russell hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Russell Brand as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 51.

Happy Birthday, Russell, you're the best!
