On September 2, Keanu Reeves will celebrate his 60th birthday. This year also marks a special milestone in his acting career—40 years since he first appeared in a TV episode and a Coca-Cola commercial. Over the decades, Keanu has become one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars, captivating audiences not just with his talent but with his down-to-earth personality and humility.

In July, Sandra Bullock also turned 60. Last year, she suffered the loss of her longtime partner, with whom she had been since 2015. Her rise to Hollywood fame wasn’t easy—it wasn’t until 1994, when she landed the role in *Speed* (co-starring, incidentally, with Keanu Reeves), that she hit it big. Ten years ago, she was at the peak of her success with *Gravity*, a role that made her one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. But recently, she has taken a step back and hasn’t appeared in films for two years.

Nicolas Cage turned 60 back in January. As a member of the Coppola family, he began acting in the early 1980s, became a megastar in the 90s, and even won an Oscar. However, by the late 2000s, Cage had become a target for ridicule, starring in increasingly lower-profile films. But the mockery gave way to a cult-like admiration by the late 2010s, transforming Cage into a living legend adored by younger generations. Each year, he continues to appear in several films, showing no signs of slowing down.

Matt Dillon celebrated his 60th birthday in February. He first rose to fame in the 1980s but never transitioned into superstardom, choosing to focus on indie films rather than big-budget blockbusters. In 2018, he stunned audiences with his portrayal of a serial killer in *The House That Jack Built*, with many predicting an Oscar nomination for his performance, though he was ultimately snubbed.

Russell Crowe turned 60 on April 7. This Australian actor gained fame in 1992 with *Romper Stomper*, and over the next decade, he conquered Hollywood, eventually winning an Oscar. In recent years, Crowe has gained significant weight and lost some of his former demand, but he continues to act steadily in films.

At the end of September, Monica Bellucci will celebrate her 60th birthday. The Italian actress caught the eye of Francis Ford Coppola in the early 90s, who cast her as one of Dracula’s brides. By the early 2000s, she had become a global sex symbol and the object of desire for millions. This year, fans eagerly await her appearance in *Beetlejuice 2*, directed by her new partner Tim Burton.

Born in February, martial artist and stuntman Mark Dacascos is well known to fans of the golden age of 90s action films. His fame diminished in the 2000s, but he continues to work regularly.

Also celebrating her 60th birthday in February, Laura Linney has been nominated for an Oscar three times and appeared in numerous iconic films. She’s been acting since the early 90s but, like Matt Dillon, hasn’t achieved mass popularity due to her preference for intellectual films over adventure flicks.

British actor Clive Owen will turn 60 in early October. He began acting in the late 1980s and found success in Hollywood in the early 2000s. In 2014, he gained newfound fame with the series *The Knick*. Owen continues to act in various projects but, like others, has yet to land a role that would catapult him into superstardom.

Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei will turn 60 in December. Like Keanu Reeves, her career began exactly 40 years ago. In the early 1990s, she gained popularity and starred in major Hollywood comedies, though she never achieved widespread fame. She reemerged in the late 2000s with *The Wrestler*. More recently, she became part of the Marvel Universe.

In June, *Friends* star Courteney Cox celebrated her 60th birthday. Before landing the role of Monica Geller, she had spent over a decade acting in films and TV series. She went on to star in the *Scream* franchise and became the lead in the successful series *Cougar Town*.
