Without googling - what age is Richard Gere?

[TheFrogsLegs]

I’ve just read the answer and am gobsmacked - he’s just become a dad, too.

Spoiler alert

He is 69 years old!

70. Yay, I was very close

I would have guessed he would be about 60 by now. I find him terrifying. Those tiny little angry eyes.

I was going to say 70- odd.

I was going to say mid 70's. That child will hardly know his father.

If have guessed at least 65.
He is far too old to be a father, when will the truth about male fertility be made public knowledge the same way that female fertility is.
Humans are not designed to be reproducing at 69.
I hope the baby is ok but seriously the chances of it having a disability or becoming ill are very high.
It's only because we live in a patriarchal world that the truth is hidden.

I guessed 70 before I opened the thread. I did NOT guess he had just become a dad 😳

71?

Would have said 67!!!

Btw I write what I thought before I opened thread. Quite surprised how close I am - I'm usually crap at these things!

I’d have said 70

Apparently the perfectly normal age to be Helen McCrory's husband who is 50 and who I may fancy a little

On TV that is = "Mother, Father, Son BBC"

I was going to say 69.

No not in Officer and a Gentleman. He was fucking fit in that! 😍

Yanks too.

At least he's not been a teat and had loads of surgery. There are going to be a lot of scary looking 70 year olds in the future.

Twat not teat

I was going to say 65.

That man was haaaawt back in the day

I guessed 60 something.

I’m not sure it’s a good idea to become a parent at 69.

I was going to guess 69 (really!)

What age did you think he was? Younger or older?

Savoury99 so many people look at me like this when I describe this film, like it was a dream I had and should keep it to myself

I'd have guessed 70/72.

• Yanks, the film.

That made me laugh, he was so gorgeous in that film.

I think he has a nice kind face now he is older.

Charlie Chaplin was 73 and Rod Stewart was 67 (I think) when they became Father's to their youngest. I didn't realise there was a risk from a Father being older

73

69. Bloody ridiculous and selfish to become a father at that age. Poor kid. Money won't help if he dies in 5 years or has to go into a care home.

Yep sperm from "old" men is not good.
Medically it is far better to have children young.
And yes I know that's not always possible etc etc. But 69 is taking the piss.
It is only our western morality which insists that it's ok for old men to father children.
