Guess Who’s Birthday It Is Today? Spoiler: Some Pretty Cool People

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is basically the Elaine Benes everyone loves from Seinfeld — and then some. She went on to win a gazillion Emmys starring in hilarious shows like Veep. Fun fact: When she was three, she stuck raisins up her nose just to make her mom laugh. Comedy roots, right?

Connor McDavid is basically lightning on skates. The Edmonton Oilers captain zooms past everyone in the NHL with record-breaking scores and shiny trophies. Oh, and here’s a wild one: His parents fibbed about his age so he could start playing hockey when he was just four!

Natalia Dyer stole hearts on Stranger Things with her unforgettable performances. She got hooked on acting after a sports injury nudged her into drama class—that’s what we call turning lemons into Oscar-worthy lemonade!

Colombian cyclist Egan Bernal is basically the Tour de France superhero. First Latin American to win it! Plus, he added a Giro d’Italia win to his trophy shelf. Bonus: He once dabbled in journalism before pedaling full-time.

Max Whitlock flips through the air like it’s no big deal. He’s the first British dude to snag Olympic gold in artistic gymnastics. When he was twelve, he followed his coach all the way to Slovenia for training. Dedication or adventure? You decide.

Vasilije Micić is a basketball wizard from Serbia who helped his team score back-to-back EuroLeague titles. His dad still insists he’s a better skier than a baller. We’re not so sure about that!

Henry Ellenson’s got skills on the basketball court and was the Big East Rookie of the Year! Surprise twist: His dad trained him to handle the ball like a point guard, even though Henry’s a big guy.

You might know Eros Vlahos from Nanny McPhee or Game of Thrones. He even got paid to review Christmas pantomimes at 13 for The Guardian. Talk about a kid with a cool job!

Adam Matthews started off as a rugby player before becoming a football (soccer) champ with Celtic. So if you think switching sports is hard, he makes it look easy.

Harley Smith-Shields is a rugby league player with a story worth a movie—his brother donated a hamstring to fix Harley's knee! That’s some serious family teamwork.
