Big kid Rove turns 40

He may have finally hit the big 4-0 but WA-raised funnyman Rove McManus is still a big kid at heart.

McManus celebrated his 40th birthday yesterday with cupcakes decorated with Superman images.

"Turning 40 means no one being able to say 'N' to your request for Superman cupcakes. #HappyBirthdayToMe," he wrote on his facebook page alongside an image of the cupcakes.

The new dad, who welcomed his first child with wife Tasma Walton last month, also posted a photo of himself blowing out his candles, which he joked he was surprised he was able to with his "old man lungs".

"The last breath in my tired Old Man lungs put to good use. (Thanks @DeltaGoodrem for the shirt )," McManus wrote.
