This cute little kid has had a huge Hollywood career on both the small and big screen.
Not only has he nailed the late night talk show arena (where he has interviewed everyone from Kim Kardashian to Joe Biden) but before that he was on Saturday Night Live from 1998 until 2004.
This brown-haired luminary also has had a thriving movie career.
In one film he worked with Gisele Bundchen, in another he was the romantic interest of Drew Barrymore. And he popped up in Jennifer Lopez’s rom-com Marry Me.
This multi-hyphenate is happily married with two kids.
This childhood image of him was shared as he celebrated his 50th birthday on Thursday.
Who is he?
This cute little kid has had a huge Hollywood career on both the small and big screen. Not only has he nailed the late night talk show arena but before that he was on Saturday Night Live from 1998 until 2004. Who is he?
He is Jimmy Fallon.
On Instagram the star – who made Taxi in 2004 with Gisele and Fever Pitch in 2005 with Drew – shared the photo and added a fun caption.
‘Today I am turning 50 years old,’ began Jimmy, who appeared in Marry Me with Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson.
‘I just want to say thank you for giving me this great life. I’m very lucky.’
He added, ‘I appreciate the applause, laughter, and support, whether it be at one of my shows, walking down the street, at a basketball game in France, or even stranded and lost in a Bavarian field.
‘I feel the love, and I love you back. Thank you for always supporting any new idea I have. You believing in me makes me believe in me.’
And then he shared a nice surprise that revealed his philanthropic side.
‘Today I donated to three amazing food organizations: Feeding America, which helps feed people around the country, and two local food banks, Long Island Cares and Bridgehampton Food Pantry.
‘Link in bio to learn more and donate. I am sending my birthday wish to you all for a great year to come. Thank you. #FallonIs50.’
This comes after he said he ‘doesn’t want’ his kids to go back to school.
The television host has daughters, Winnie, 11, and Frances, nine, with his wife Nancy Juvonen and revealed that he will ‘miss’ his little girls once the summer is over
He told People: ‘I don’t [want] them to go back to school.

‘I don’t want them to meet other people. I don’t want them to do anything. I just want them to hang out with us for the rest of their life.’
However, the comedian also noted that his daughters are more than happy to go back to school and are even looking forward to it, following on from their first time away at camp.
She said: ‘They love their school, they love their friends. And it’s another little chapter in their lives and another fun adventure. They went to camp for the first time too this year.
‘I was so sad when they left. You can’t talk to them. You have like a set time…you can talk to them for five minutes…I miss them so much. I’m like, ‘Please don’t leave us.’ But they had fun.’

Away from his eponymous talk show, Jimmy has written ‘5 More Sleeps til Halloween’ – which is about two siblings as they count down the days until Halloween – and joked that the book will work well for decorative purposes if nothing else but will also serve adults well if they want to read it.
He said: ‘It makes a good decoration, even if you don’t want to read.
‘It makes a good gift if you don’t have kids, but you know kids that trick-or-treat and want to get them excited about the holiday.’
