Parents often keep their celebrity status hidden from their children to maintain their innocence. Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song's kids are unaware of their fame; their son is more interested in cartoons. Zach Galifianakis's children believe he is a librarian, emphasizing the desire to nurture a normal childhood. Lin-Manuel Miranda's sons recognize him on TV but do not understand the extent of his fame. Kate Winslet took measures to shield her children from press and anticipation associated with her fame during their upbringing.
"My kids have no idea that me and Brenda are famous. They see mama on TV. When she's not around, I put on Suite Life... and you know what Dak said? He goes, 'Someday I want to grow up and marry a girl just as pretty as London Tipton.'"
"My kids think I'm a librarian somewhere. They don't even know. They think I'm an assistant librarian somewhere... You wanna protect their innocence as much as possible. They're just children."
"They know I show up on TV sometimes, but they also have no idea [why]. They know that Daddy makes things up, and I think they're very proud of that."
"When my three children were young, I protected them from my fame as much as possible. For example, if I was on a magazine cover, I'd take them to school via a different route that avoided newsstands."
