It’s never too late to become a father – this is the philosophy of life professed by many Hollywood actors. This is not surprising, because many marry girls who are decades younger and are able to give birth to a child even without medical intervention.
Today we’ll talk about 10 such dads who have no age limit.
10 Clint Eastwood
The actor and director, who will turn 89 in May, is the father of seven children. It is noteworthy that he was officially married only twice and from these marriages he had only three children, the remaining four were born out of wedlock.
His last child, a daughter named Morgan, was born in 1996, a couple of months before the actor’s 66th birthday. His wife, Dina Eastwood, was 35 years younger than Clint, and they lived together until 2013, when Dina filed for divorce.
It was rumored that Clint even earlier started a new affair with Erica Fisher, who was 41 years younger (she was 42, and Eastwood was 83). Considering that he still continues to make films and play the main roles in it, no one will be very surprised if there is news about another daughter or son.
9. Mel Gibson
Unlike Eastwood, Mel Gibson was married only once, but he has as many as 8 children: one girl and seven boys. With his wife, who bore him 6 sons and a daughter, Gibson stayed together from 1980 to 2011, when their marriage was officially terminated.
However, he began to start romances on the side much earlier, which is why he regularly became the hero of scandalous headlines in various media. The last (so far) child to the actor was born by the writer Rosalind Ross in 2017, when she was 27, and Gibson was already over 60.
8. Alec Baldwin
The Golden Globe and Emmy winner, whose career has been on the rise in recent years, has been married twice.
His first wife was actress Kim Basinger, with whom he lived from 1993 to 2002. In 1995, they had a daughter with an unpronounceable name Ireland (now the girl is building a modeling career).
After a divorce from Basinger, Baldwin for a long time limited himself to ordinary affairs, now and then appearing in public with various companions, until in 2012 he was dragged down the aisle again by yoga instructor Hilary Thomas, who gave him four more descendants.
Baldwin last became a father in 2018, just 3 weeks after his 60th birthday.
7. Richard Gere
Gere married for the first time in 1991 to model Cindy Crawford, whose marriage lasted 4 years. He did not have children from Cindy: the first child, the son of Homer James Jigmi, was born to the actor by his second wife (also a former model) Carey Lowell in 2000.
At that time, Gere was only 50 and he would not have made it to our list, but more recently, on February 11, he had a second son, Alexander, named after his mother, whose name is Alejandra Silva. Richard legalized relations with her in 2018, although they began in 2013.
4. Steve Martin
The famous American actor and comedian in the cinema often tried on the images of someone’s fathers, although he himself knew this at a respectable age. The actor’s first serious relationship was with Bernadette Peters in the 70s, which never ended in a wedding.
Then he put a wedding ring on the finger of another woman – actress Victoria Tennant, to whom he was married for 8 years (1986 – 1994), but still did not become a father.
Successful in terms of children for him was the third marriage with journalist Anna Stringfield, who gave birth to a girl in 2012, when Martin was already 67 years old.
5. Paul McCartney
One of the founders of The Beatles, winner of 16 Grammy awards and just a living music legend, first became a father in 1968, adopting the child of his wife Linda Eastman. In marriage with her, he became the father of three children of his own: two girls and a boy.
After Eastman’s death from cancer in 1998, the musician began a new relationship a year later. His chosen one was the former model Heather Mills, who gave birth to another daughter, Beatrice Milli, in 2003, when McCartney was already 61 years old.
This marriage did not last long: already in 2006 the couple broke up, and the separation was accompanied by litigation, as a result of which Paul paid Heather 24 million pounds.
4. Robert De Niro
Another father of many children, who has both adopted and natural children (there are even those born by surrogate mothers). The actor had 3 serious novels throughout his life, 2 of which ended in a wedding, he has children from every woman.
His youngest daughter is now only 8 years old, but in fairness it should be noted that she was born as a surrogate mother, and not De Niro’s wife. However, at the time of her birth, the actor was 68 years old.
His son Elliot, who was born in the traditional way, was born in 1998, when his father was almost 55, which, in principle, is also not so little. It is noteworthy that De Niro loves black women: all 3 mothers of his children are African American.
3. Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas is only a year older than De Niro, but he has fewer children: he first became a father in 1978 at the age of 34 (his wife was 20).
Despite the fact that he divorced his first wife only in 2000, he had an affair with actress Catherine Zeta-Jones already in 1998 (she was born on the same day as Douglas, but with a difference of 25 years). A few months after the divorce, he immediately married Catherine, who in the same 2000 gave him a second son (the first common).
The third, and at the moment the last child they had was born in 2003, when Douglas was 59 years old.
2. Bruce Willis
Die Hard’s first wife was actress Demi Moore, who is 7 years younger. She also became the mother of Bruce’s three children – daughters Rumer Glenn, Scout Larue and Talullah Belle.
After breaking up in 1998 (although the divorce was filed only 2 years later) with Demi Moore, Willis did not start a serious relationship for a long time, until in 2009 he married for the second time fashion model Emma Heming, who is 23 years younger. She gave him two more daughters: Mabel Rae in 2012 (the actor was 57) and Evelyn Penn in 2014, a year before Willis’ 60th birthday.
1. Al Pacino
This actor is rightfully considered the most famous Hollywood bachelor: he is already 78, has an outstanding career behind him, he has 3 children, but he has never been married.
Nevertheless, he calls the birth of children the most important event in his life and tries to spend as much time as possible with them.
Al Pacino’s firstborn daughter Julia Maria was born in 1989, and in 2001 the actor became the father of twins Anton James and Olivia Rose. He was then 61 years old.
