when Community first was on, I saw someone state - possibly even on ONTD! - that Donald Glover was Danny Glover’s son and I took that as fact and never bothered verifying for years. Thought he was a nepo baby!

Almost any time two actors share the same surname I just assume they're related.

[archersangel]

Same.

me with michael keaton and diane keaton just to be even more confused when i found out his real name is michael douglas

[buries]

WHAT LOL

How is it that I've looked at Michael's wiki and NEVER READ HIS NAME.

[lreservoirldogs]

Well, i just learned keaton is not his last name.

[hiddenpalm]

both michael and diane had to come up with new names because there were actors already registered with those names. apparently it happens a lot, julianne moore, vanessa a/l williams, and david tennant too for example.

[frejasface]

same!

I believed this for the longest time, too

and that Donald Faison was Frankie Faison's son, I also somehow believed this

I guess I'm accustomed to nepotism lol

[robertsbox_xo]

this just reminds me of when my friend thought hailee steinfeld was jerry seinfelds daughter lmao

[siaht]

Um.

I'll pretend I'm not just now learning that that isn't true.
