David Walliams explains why he's kept son Alfred away from the spotlight

David Walliams has opened up about his decision to keep his young son out of the spotlight, saying he wants his child to grow up just like other kids.

The comedian-and-author shares Alfred, nine, with his supermodel ex-wife Lara Stone. He was born in 2013, though his parents sadly separated two years later after drifting apart.

Although Alfred's parents both have very high-profile careers, they both agreed they wanted their son to have a normal life. The couple have even gone as far as concealing their son's face on pictures of him shared on social media.
