Simon Helberg found a perfectly on-brand way to thank fans for their birthday wishes — with humor that felt straight out of The Big Bang Theory. The actor, best known for playing Howard Wolowitz, marked his 45th birthday by sharing a quirky Instagram post that had fans laughing instead of tearing up.
Rather than a traditional thank-you message, Helberg posted a throwback-style video featuring a bizarre childhood birthday song, complete with surreal visuals and the unforgettable lyric: “It’s another trip around the sun in my meat suit, mama.” He captioned it simply, thanking fans and explaining it was the song he grew up with.
The comments quickly filled with birthday love, jokes, and Big Bang Theory references. Friends like Jason Ritter joined in, while fans affectionately called him “Engineer” and even wished him “Mazel Wolowitz.”
Though Helberg has moved on from Howard, his offbeat charm clearly hasn’t changed — proving that even years after the finale, his connection with fans remains as playful and heartfelt as ever.
