NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin went all out for his birthday in Brazil.
The three-time Super Bowl champ, who turned 59 on Wednesday, rang in his birthday while shirtless and covered in glitter at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
Considered Brazil’s most popular holiday, Carnival is a week-long festival — held from Feb. 28 to March 8 this year — that includes colorful costumes, music, dancing and parades throughout the city.
Irvin sported silver sequined shorts and glitter on his chest while celebrating in front of a Carvinal sign, as seen in videos posted to his social media accounts.
“You might be wondering why am I dressed such a way, but I am in Rio for Carnival,” Irvin said. “It was on my bucket list. Before I turned 60, to experience Carnival. So I’m here, when I’m turning 59.”
“Let me say this though, the thousands of people that have texted me and reached out on social media — all the fans, all my friends saying ‘happy birthday.’ Thank you so much. There’s no way I could hit everybody back, but I want y’all to know that you really do matter.”
Irvin said he found out that his friends are throwing him a surprise birthday party at his restaurant, Playmakers 88 in North Texas, on Friday.
In another video, Irvin quoted a line from Vin Diesel in the “Fast & Furious” movie franchise.
“As Vin Diesel said, ‘I know I’ve come a long way from home, but this is Brazil!’” he added.
Irvin spent 12 seasons with the Cowboys and was a three-time All-Pro nods and five-time Pro Bowler.
