David Schwimmer, best known for his role in the iconic sitcom "Friends," is famously private about his personal life. While his career has always been in the spotlight, he prefers to keep details about his daughter, Cleo, under wraps. However, in a recent interview, Schwimmer offered a rare glimpse into his daughter’s life, sharing her impressive artistic talent.
During an interview with People promoting his new show, "Goosebumps: The Vanishing," Schwimmer revealed the source of his recent pride. He spoke about Cleo’s creative flair, saying, “That happens almost every day with my kid, who this past week finished an incredible piece of art — it was a painting of Alan Turing.
