Kirk’s birthday is extra special considering his son, Michael, picked up a Golden Globe nomination for his role in The Kominsky Method. Michael recently talked about his father and his old age. He admits that Kirk is tired of big parties, even though his family continues to throw him big celebrations. It’s pretty fitting considering he is living past 100!

“Well, it’s like, so 100. Okay, so he was 100. Big birthday, big birthday. The trouble is, when you’re 100, you don’t really want a big birthday,” Michael explains. “I threw a big party for him, it was great.”

So, the big parties began when he was 100. Michael reveals that he continued the next year, 101, with another big party. “101. You know, ‘OK, let’s have a nice party.’ ‘Again? I don’t…’ ‘Dad, it’s 101 years old. You have to have a birthday.’ 102…” he continues. Kirk hopes that by 103, he won’t have to deal with another big celebration. “So he’s begging me, he’s got tears down his eyes. ‘Let’s just have dinner, the family together. Bring the kids,’ ” Michael jokes.

All of us at DYR wish this living legend a very happy 103rd birthday! God bless him.
