BRAZIL football sensation Neymar wished 'Happy Birthday' to self on Wednesday (February 5). The Paris Saint-Germain forward turned 28.

"Happy birthday to me, thank for everything my God #Njr28," he posted on twitter, with his back-view photo in a pool.

Born in 1992, Neymar came into prominence at an early age at Santos, where he made his professional debut aged 17.

He helped the club win two successive Campeonato Paulista championships, a Copa do Brasil, and the 2011 Copa Libertadores, with the latter being Santos' first since 1963.

Neymar was twice named the South American Footballer of the Year, in 2011 and 2012, and soon relocated to Europe to join Barcelona.

In 2019, Forbes ranked him the world's third highest-paid athlete.

His followers showered him with greetings on b-day on twitter.

With 61 goals in 101 matches for Brazil since debuting at age 18, Neymar is the third-highest goalscorer for his national team, trailing only Pelé and Ronaldo.

SportsPro named him the most marketable athlete in the world in 2012 and 2013, and ESPN cited him as the world's fourth-most famous athlete in 2016.

In 2017, Neymar was included by Time in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. By 2018, France Football ranked Neymar the world's third highest-paid footballer.

Charli XCX says her next album might flop and she’s totally fine with it

After the explosive success of Brat, Charli XCX isn’t trying to bottle lightning twice. In fact, she’s more than ready for her next album to sink. Not because she’s lost her touch but because she’s no longer creating music to top charts or break the internet. She’s doing it for herself.

Speaking at Cannes in an interview with Culted, Charli shared that she doesn’t feel the weight of trying to outdo Brat. “When I made Brat, I believed in it, but I didn’t know how people would react,” she said. “It just clicked with the audience. That wasn’t something I planned.” Now, with her next record on the horizon, she’s bracing for it to miss the mark and she’s completely okay with that. “You can’t repeat the same thing twice,” she added, “and honestly, if it flops, I’m fine with it.”

Fujifilm X Half camera embraces vintage film aesthetics with digital twist

Fujifilm has unveiled the X Half, a new compact digital camera designed to evoke the look and feel of classic film photography. Set to launch in late June 2025, the X Half is a part of Fujifilm’s X-series, and aims to appeal to enthusiasts seeking a nostalgic, analog-inspired shooting experience in a digital format.

The X Half is priced at £849.99 and features an 18-megapixel 1-inch-type sensor paired with a fixed 32mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens. While it uses modern digital technology, the camera deliberately omits certain features common in contemporary models – most notably, it does not support RAW image capture, offering only JPEG files. This decision is part of Fujifilm’s effort to deliver a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” experience that mirrors traditional film photography.
