41-year-old Zach Galifianakis didn’t always look like a dazed Hobbit with questionable grooming habits and a cupcake addiction.
He used to be a skinny dude who liked wearing denim shirts. A little nerdy looking, but definitely on the normal/boring side. Nothing about his teenage photo indicates that he would soon turn into a hilarious chubby bearded manchild who shows up late to meetings with Robert Downey Jr. and gets too drunk to ride his bicycle back home (true story he told The Rolling Stone.)
