"Today is my dad's 80th birthday...which is weird because my bestie that I joke with, travel with, work with and make silly videos with has the maturity of a much younger man," Maggie, 31, began her post.

"Happy happy birthday to the most incredible father I could ever ask for," she continued. "It is truly a gift to be your daughter and my appreciation for who you are and all you have done grows every day."

Of course, Maggie couldn't resist ending her sweet message with a playful jab at her famous father.
