Aibu to think the media portray it as perfectly ok for an 83 year old man to have a child with a 29 year old woman but when it’s older women having babies, it’s portrayed as selfish etc. Incredible!

What first attracted you to multimillionaire Al Pachino?😆

Nothing to do with you, why do you feel the need to comment on something that dosent affect you.

This is a discussion forum?!
Why are you telling people what they’re allowed to discuss?
Why are you even here? 😂

Any viewpoints of children who were born to geriatric parents?

My dad was 50, seems like a spring chicken in comparison! I find it so sad that people think money trumps a father figure in your life. Would people think it was ok for a child to lose a mother young if it meant they were well provided for? Rich kids are often a mess anyway.

I think it’s a shrewd move on her part- payday is the moment she gives birth, followed by the ‘bonus’ which won’t be too many years away. Consider how many women (look at the relationships boards) have DC with absolute cockwombles so child
grows up with a father (who is very much alive, he just doesn’t care) and they struggle to afford anything. Dad isn’t around (despite being in his 20s/30s/40s) AND money is an issue. Give me a multi millionaire 83 year old any day!

This is pretty sad. From the point of view of these octogenarian men procreating children they can't possibly raise beyond 5 or 6 or maybe Al is superhuman, he doesn't look it.

I don’t agree with either sex having children past regular childbearing age. Old sperm is not good either.
I did have older parents who died relatively young so I will admit I have strong feelings about this.

I don't think men are all that relevant when it comes to raising children anyway. The fact that he's probably going to die when the child is still a dependant is neither here nor there - think about the amount of actual work men put into child raising. It's not a lot.

Speak for yourself / your partner. Mine does plenty

I don't think they portray it as 'perfectly ok' at all. I think they do it (and specify the ages) to be outlandish and sell papers.

It's the grotesque age difference that gets people talking.

Blimey, there’s some awful ageism on this thread.

😂

This is the equivalent of 'misogyny' when anyone criticises a woman.

The age gap is disgusting. Anyone who'd be sexually attracted to someone who could be a grandchild, and anyone who could be sexually attracted to someone who could be a grandparent, needs therapy.

going against the grain here maybe but… he’s an extremely high status man whatever his age. He has huge wealth, massive success and very high social standing. She’s making a very sound decision: any child of his will have huge advantages through life, simply by virtue of who their father is.

it could be argued that her decision is far more rational than that of the many women on here who choose to reproduce with total losers.

His age is irrelevant tbh: his status negates that.

Hmm I don't know if I'd say Lisa Marie Presley had great advantages in her life. Nor did her son.

Sometimes being a child to an incredibly famous person is a curse. It takes more than a name to grow up and be ok, advantages are nothing if you don't have a sound and stable upbringing and influences.

I always admired actors like Pacino and DeNiro for staying largely out of the limelight but this has changed in recent years with behaviour like this. Both amazing actors obviously but this sort of thing is just creepy. She’s a year younger than me and he is older than my grandparents. Admire him as I do, there’s no way I’d want to have sex with him.

It’s selfish to have a child when you know you won’t be around to see them grow up. Pacino will be lucky to see this child reach 10. It’s so weird when he has adult children and should just be enjoying quiet retirement at the end of his life.

Feel this way about Alec Baldwin though. He’s nowhere near their age but the fact he’s had 6 or 7 children (lost count!) with a much younger woman when prior to this he just had one now adult daughter is batshit. Again, he should be enjoying now being a Grandfather but instead has 7 of his own young children to contend with at home.

Couldn't agree more with this 👏

i can’t quite imagine how much I would have had to like money, to have sex with an 83 year old when I was 29.

His net worth is around 120 million, split 4 ways.... Estimate ~30 million each.... I'd do it!!!

@BodegaSushi Yep, definitely mental health issues at play.
