Steve McQueen is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave, Shame, Hunger, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

McQueen, a cultural icon

Born Steven Rodney McQueen in London on October 9, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. McQueen'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 Steve hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Steve McQueen as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 55.

Happy Birthday, Steve, you're the best!
