Some celebrities seem to loom larger over pop culture than almost anyone else. They’re instantly recognizable, endlessly entertaining, and full of amazing soundbites — like Judge Judy, for example, or Oprah, or Dr. Phil McGraw.
Only one of those legends is celebrating a pretty huge milestone birthday today, and that’s Dr. Phil himself, who is somehow turning 70 despite looking exactly the same as he always has.

So many of us have had Dr. Phil giving us advice for decades.
Dr. Phil initially rose to fame making guest appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the 1990s, but eventually launched his own program, Dr. Phil in 2002. That show is still on the air, 18 years later, and Dr. Phil’s advice is just as sound as ever.
Dr. Phil was born on September 1st, 1950.
That means that the man himself is celebrating his 70th birthday!
This is a huge milestone for the good doctor, and one he should definitely be proud of. Dr. Phil hardly looks a day older than when he first appeared on television.
Fans have taken to social media to wish the television legend a happy birthday.
Phil’s wife Robin also tweeted, writing, “Phillip, for your BIRTHDAY this year I gathered the babies (even the furry ones!) and had the BEST time celebrating you with this fun shoot!!! Now we get to celebrate you FOR REAL today! My love for you gets stronger every single year! Love, your younger wife (I had to!),” alongside photos of their family .
Happy birthday, Dr. Phil!
We hope that 70 treats you just as well as all the other years have so far!
What’s your favorite memory of Dr. Phil? I used to love watching his show after I got home from school every day!
