This young man has Hollywood good looks - so perhaps it's a surprise that he decided to spend his career behind the camera instead of in front of it! His cool, level gaze carries a lot of authority - precisely the kind of aura he needed in order to grow up and become one of the greatest Hollywood movie directors in history.

Some of the highest-grossing and best-regarded movies of all time are Spielberg productions. The first 'Jurassic Park' film was made with him at the helm, as was 80s classic 'E.T.'

It's not without reason that he's been awarded an honorary knighthood by the Queen of England!
