Guy Ritchie's Premiere Birthday

Guy Ritchie celebrated his birthday at the premiere of pal Nick Love's new movie in London on Thursday (10Sep09) - and was even given gifts by fans on the red carpet.

The director turned 41, but went along to support the debut of Love's 1980's soccer film The Firm.

Donning a tracksuit in honour of the sporting movie, Ritchie made his way up the red carpet to chants of Happy Birthday from fans - and was even presented with a birthday cake, complete with a number of coloured candles.

I forget I've done them. So if ever they're on, I'm unaware I had anything to do with them. If I were now to watch Snatch or Lock, Stock... I couldn't tell you what scene was coming next.Guy Ritchie

The director has admitted that he often forgets which films are his own.

The 41 year old has directed a number of pictures, including gangster movies Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.

But constantly working on films has addled Ritchie's memory - he often has to reacquaint himself with his classics.

He tells Britain's GQ magazine, "I forget I've done them. So if ever they're on, I'm unaware I had anything to do with them. If I were now to watch Snatch or Lock, Stock... I couldn't tell you what scene was coming next."

But despite his short-term memory, Ritchie is still proud of his work.

He adds, "It's embarrassing to say this but I'd probably really enjoy watching them. I'd be sat there at the end, like a mug, clapping my own film."
