"Turns out we were completely wrong. But a closer look reveals that the footage is grainy and dated, by more than 45 years in fact, from a film released when Galifianakis, 49, was just a toddler.It turns out the warm, wooly meme man is no comedian but legendary actor and certifiable Hollywood hunk Robert Redford, 82, from the 1972 film “Jeremiah Johnson,” about a man who takes to the woods a la Henry David Thoreau on Walden Pond.Since then, though, many of the internet’s youngsters had ignored this fact until Splinter writer Nick Martin “I just found out that this gif is Robert Redford and I am shooketh,” “I will not accept that this isn’t Zach Galifinakis,” Later, @HaoreTom added, “I tweeted this then went to bed and woke up covered in a swarm of angry boomers.”Meanwhile, many on Twitter, who are obviously of a legal drinking age, expressed their disappointment over the internet’s general lack of diligent observation.“Anyone that didn’t know this is Robert Redford – or worse, thought it was f-ing Zach Gallifanakis …,” “There were, in fact, movies made before 2002 people,” And, in a clever use of the meme, @estevcz responds to the question, “Did you know the nodding meme guy is Robert Redford?” with the GIF itself — demonstrating that, yes, they are a learned person who knows a Redford when they see one.Even Martin’s colleague could not fathom his shallow knowledge of American cinema.“Today I learned a not insignificant number of my colleagues never knew Robert Redford is the ‘nodding guy meme.’ Deeply disturbing,” Of course, Galifianakis is not the only celeb mistaken for the beloved meme.Just found out that 'nodding meme guy' is Robert Redford, not Bruce Vilanch. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It’s Robert Redford.

The man featured in the famous “nod of approval” meme? Turns out we were completely wrong.
