To quote a line from the Childish Gambino song Sunrise: "Donald Glover, no relation".

Danny Glover is an American actor and film director most famous for his role in the Lethal Weapon films, but he's also appeared in a whole lot else, including Saw, Predator 2 and The Royal Tenenbaums .

Navigating the industry, one issue that Donald Glover would frequently run in to was people believing he was Danny Glover's son, owing to the same initials, surname and skin colour. During an interview with Jay Leno, Glover (Donald, not Danny) detailed how for a long period of time he would browse the internet and correct articles that listed him as Danny Glover's son, only for them to be inevitably changed back.

Don't worry, Donald. The world knows who you are now.
