“Today I am turning 50 years old,” he kicked off his caption.

Fallon continued, “I just want to say thank you for giving me this great life,” adding, “I’m very lucky. I appreciate the applause, laughter, and support, whether it be at one of my shows, walking down the street, at a basketball game in France, or even stranded and lost in a Bavarian field.”

“I feel the love, and I love you back. Thank you for always supporting any new idea I have,” he added. “You believing in me makes me believe in me,” he further noted.

Jimmy Fallon, who is also a father of two children, concluded his message by stating that he had recently donated food to organizations like Feeding America, Long Island Cares and Bridgehampton Food Pantry.
