Zach Galifianakismay have two Emmy wins and plenty of hit films, but to his children, he’s simply their dad — and possibly a librarian.
The comedian, 52, toldEntertainment Tonightat the premiere of his new movieRon’s Gone Wrongthat his kids don’t know he’s a popular actor. Galifianakis shares two sons, ages four and seven years old, with his wife, Quinn Lundberg.
“My kids think I’m a librarian somewhere. They don’t even know,” Galifianakis toldET.“They think I’m an assistant librarian somewhere.”
He added, “I’ll just deny it. I’ll say, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about. I had nothing to do with that movie.’ "
While he’ll eventually “get to that point” of showing his children the film, he’s avoiding the “tricky” situation for the time being. The actor explained toET, “You wanna protect their innocence as much as possible. They’re just children.”
Still, Galifianakis said he’s had plenty of parents approach him about their own children’s love forThe Hangover, an R-rated comedy about three men who wake up in Las Vegas with no memory of the debauchery-filled bachelor party they threw the night before.
“People used to come up to me and be like, ‘Oh, my kids loveThe Hangover,’ and I’m like, ‘You’re a terrible parent,’ " he toldET. As for his own sons, “They need to mature a little bit before they see that,” Galifianakis added.
Galifianakis is reunited with hisHangovercostarEd HelmsforRon’s Gone Wrong,a family-friendly film in which he voices the titular robot and Helms plays the father of a middle-schooler.
It’s the latest role for Galifianakis, whose post-Hangovertrilogy credits include his own successful comedy seriesBetween Two Ferns, plus roles inBirdman,Baskets,Bob’s BurgersandBig Mouth.
