Happy birthday McLovin! (Picture: Columbia Pictures)

If McLovin were a real person (in our hearts he is), today would mark the Superbad character’s 40th birthday.

You know, if you didn’t already feel old enough.

The iconic 2007 film centred on a bunch of high schoolers Seth (played by Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) who were on a quest to lose their virginity before heading off to college in a very American Pie-style tale.

However, what Superbad lacked in pies it made up for in sex jokes and crude humour which had us gasping in cinemas.

It was Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s character Fogell, though, who will go down in 00s history at the ultimate comedy legend, after he managed to get his hands on a fake ID to procure some alcohol pre-high school party.

The image of Fogell’s fake Hawaii drivers license, which bore the name McLovin (just McLovin’), is burnt into our retinas – but, unless you have this marked in your calendars, you may not remember the birthdate he tried to get past the shop attendant as June 3, 1981.

Superbad star and writer Seth Rogen celebrated the momentous occasion, tweeting: ‘Happy 40th birthday McLovin.

‘(We wrote this joke when we were 14 years old)’
