  1. > “I said that when they were younger because I didn’t want them to know anything,” the Hangover actor says, when asked about his past statements that he tells his two sons that he works as a librarian rather than in Hollywood.

    > “But now they’re older, they know that I’m down here promoting this,” Galifianakis added. “But I keep show business away from my family. I’ve never wanted my real life and show business to combine. This is my work, and that’s why they’re not here.”

  2. >Galifianakis shares two sons with his wife [Quinn Lundberg](https://people.com/who-is-quinn-lundberg-zach-galifianakis-wife-8721050), whom he has been married to since 2012, according to [*Glamour* magazine](https://www.glamour.com/story/zach-galifianakis-got-married). The private couple welcomed their oldest son in September 2013 but have never shared his name publicly; they welcomed younger son Rufus Emmanuel Lundberg on Nov. 7, 2016, according to a birth certificate obtained by PEOPLE at that time. Galifianakis is famously averse to the spotlight; he told [*New York* magazine](https://www.vulture.com/2018/01/zach-galifianakis-on-baskets-fame.html) in 2018 that his ideal day involves “canoeing on a lake” at a property he and his wife own in British Columbia.

    PEOPLE magazine obtained his kid’s birth certificate? I wonder why Galifianakis is famously averse to the spotlight…

  3. I love that the boys have her name instead of his for an extra layer of protection from fame

  6. Smart man.
    Also – love his work. He really is amusing.

  7. Zach is a cool dude. I went to high school in his hometown and was able to meet him on set once. When I told him where my family was from, he lit up and was glad to take a photo with me. 🤝🏾

    Also, My cousins graduated with him.

    I work in TV so I was gracious to make it to a set where he was filming.

  13. zach lives in the next town over from me. it’s a super boring, rural area lol so he definitely picked a good place to lay low!
