Tony Jaa is celebrating his 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Tony Jaa (The Protector, Ong-Bak, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Jaa, a cultural icon

Born Panom Yeerum in Isaan on February 5, 1976, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Thai history. Jaa'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 Tony hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tony Jaa as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 49.

Happy Birthday, Tony, you're the best!
