There are some pretty ridiculous and far-fetched theories parading around the internet these days, but there is one theory in particular that is simply too ridiculous to ever be believed by anyone with a functioning mind. Apparently, there is a theory going around that actor/writer Donald Glover and rapper Childish Gambino are actually one and the same person.
I know, I know. How could anyone possibly believe something like this? How could anyone think it could be remotely possible that the former star of the television show "Community" could also be the artist responsible for the song "Redbone?" How can one of the stars of the soon to be released film "Solo: A Star Wars Story" also be the artist who just came out with the controversial new song "This is America," featuring a music video that contains biting commentary about gun violence in America?
No single person could possibly be this talented and impressive, so therefore Childish Gambino and Donald Glover cannot possibly be the same human being. I mean sure, maybe they look slightly similar. I might believe it if someone told me they were cousins, but the same exact person? No way.
Here's what Donald Glover looks like:
And here is a picture of Childish Gambino:
See, there is no possible way that these two incredibly different people are actually one and the same. If it were true, we all might as well give up now because none of us will ever be as impressive as someone who can create and star in the TV series "Atlanta" and then also come up with tracks such as "Heartbeat" and "Bonfire."
Besides, Donald Glover recently hosted "Saturday Night Live," with musical guest Childish Gambino. This proves they cannot be the same person because how could this apparent superbeing possibly host the show and perform as the musical guest at the exact same time?
Do these conspiracy theorists really expect us to believe that Donald Glover was able to perform in a fairly funny "SNL" skit before suddenly and immediately getting up on stage and performing as Childish Gambino? There is simply no way that a human being could be capable of such impressive feats.
If Donald Glover and Childish Gambino are actually the same person, then maybe Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise are actually the same person. Maybe Leonardo Dicaprio and Ryan Gosling are the same person. Who knows, maybe Prince Harry and the Duke of Sussex are actually the same person. If we believe this hogwash about Donald Glover, then any one of these obviously outlandish claims could, in fact, be true.
These internet conspiracy theorists need to stop putting such outrageous thoughts into the mind of the public. The public may not know any better, but this is why it's up to us, those who do know better, to stop these wretched lies from spreading across the media landscape.
Unfortunately, the lies are now getting out of hand, and even Wikipedia is responsible because according to Donald Glover's Wikipedia page, he is also Childish Gambino, showing that even an Internet presence as large as Wikipedia can give false and misleading information. The bottom line is that these lies must stop. Lies like Donald Glover and Childish Gambino actually being the same person. Give me a break.
If it were true, how would we possibly describe this superperson? As an actor/writer/singer/rapper/comedian/director? The list probably goes on from there, and there is simply no way that a single person could do this much. If they really were the same person, I'm not sure I could continue on anymore in my daily life, because everything I thought I understood about life and the universe would suddenly crumble.
Luckily this will be avoided, because Childish Gambino and Donald Glover are definitely two different people. Make sure not to let the internet convince you otherwise.
