The Simpsons fans are celebrating Homer Simpson‘s birthday today, May 12th, which is the official in-universe birthdate of The Simpson family’s patriarch. The Dark Knight Rises and Inception star Joseph Gordon-Levitt got things trending by posting a picture of Homer Simpson’s license that was shown on one episode of The Simpsons – complete with the 5-12-56 birthday inscribed on it. After that, the floodgates were open for fans to show their appreciation for Homer Simpson, and the 65 years of both wisdom and humor that he’s provided for millions of fans.

Homer has given the world so many great memories in his 65 years of living (and decades as a TV star). ย

If you’re confused about who we’re talking about – yes it’s Mr. Brian McGee himself.ย
Real-Time Talk
I thought he was older, given he’s said to be 38. The series started in 1989 and in Tracy Ullman Show 1987. Thus he would have to be closer to 70 by now – if the characters would age.

At this point, who is really trying to apply real-world timelines toย The Simpsons???ย
Never Gonna Change
If Homer had a dollar for every year heโs aged, heโd have a dollar!

The only real-world timeline of note is that Homer Simpson never ages – no matter what his driver license says.ย

He’s only an animated character but we hope that Homer Simpson is somewhere doing something just like this on his 65th.ย
