Did he have great grandkids?
Let’s go see your grand uncle, and help change his diaper.
That’s a baby who’s going to join the ‘my dad died when I was a kid’ club. of which i’m a member. lifelong heartache.
i don’t recommend it. and would give anything for it to be different.
Dude’s still got better hair than me!
Which one needs their diaper changed?
It’s Robert De Niro. Not Robert Dinero, which is Spanish for Robert “Money”. lol.
I thought my dad was old when he had me and he was 45!
It’s sweet and all, but for me personally it’s a bit of a moral conundrum. Sure the kid was born and into that 1% life at that, but at some point there is going to be some damage about the old man checked out before their 10th birthday or thereabouts. The jealousy of lacking core memories with your dad, him not being there during your transformative years, missing your first date, your graduation, your first job, your wedding day etc.
Sure this childs father will be on tv forever, they can always hear his voice and see his face, his life whenever, but there will be that void i think. A friend of mine, his dad passed at 75 when he was 9 and left him a small fortune. He is now in his mid 40s he still hasn’t come to terms with that his father had him so late that they didn’t get much time together. Money can only do so much even if you think you are setting them up for life. Literally and figuratively.
Edit: spelling
Edit 2: this kinda blew up so first off I thought I’d clarify that I don’t deny this specific child life. As someone said, the randomness and the odds of “you” specifically being born are infinitely small. Its precious, I wish this child the happiest of upbringing and later life. Secondly, I get having a loving dad present at all for any time is a better situation than not having one at all. This child will probably be cared for better than most for other reasons besides his fathers wealth. However, I still, and this is my personal opinion, question the choice of having children that late in life.
Imagine you could beat your dad up at 2 years old
This makes me so sad for that baby.
I have older than average parents. And I’m lucky both are still with me, but it sucks to be my age and know that our time is less than a lot of families. My dad is just slightly older than De Niro. This kid won’t have memories of him.
My dad passed away when I was 4.
Oh no what happened?
He was 84.
I’m in my early 40s and feel like I’ve passed my time for baby making. I’m not feeling so old now lol.
This isn’t sweet, it’s weird bro
This is so fucking weird. Poor kid…
A guy at works father was 76 when he had him and died when he was 9. He’s 37 now and it still clearly fucks him up deeply.
Everybody talking about him being too old and I’m just sitting here wondering who Robert *Dinero* is.
That sperm was swimming in dust
Perfect example of: Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
This is downright sad for the child who is guaranteed to grow up without knowing his bio dad beyond 10 years of he is lucky.
What an utterly selfish thing to do and a damnation on our society and double standards that we celebrate it when it’s an octogenarian man as a new father.
He’s dead in a few years. That child basically has no father.
Cool. Dude will be dead before the kid is 10.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
My dad was 45 when I was born and it came with some weird issues. Like other kids made friends more easily because parents were the same age and could also become friends. I *always* got comments about how my dad is the same age as another kid’s granddad. Also, I never met my grandparents because they had all passed before I was born. My mom’s dad died at 79 and I still wasn’t born by then. I’m not against having kids older. In fact, I think a lot do it too young. But damn if you’re gonna be retirement age before the kid finishes high school maybe you’ve missed the timing a bit. But 80!? I’d consider that inappropriate.
how old the mom tho ?
The look like Carl and Russell from the animated movie “Up”. Tell me im wrong
I feel like having a baby at that age is almost like immoral. So 90% you’re gonna pass away by before they are even a teen, that’s kind of sad
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should
Selfish prick. He will be dead before that child starts school. I can only wonder what learning disabilities are gonna pop up because of dad’s old sperm.
“My daddy died of old age before i hit kindergarten” — this is the story she’ll tell people. “I don’t know hes in some weird old movies that are hard to watch”
I don’t know how I feel about this, in one hand new life on in the world, so can’t be mad about it? but on the other hand, how narcissistic you must be to have a child at 80, you wont see him/her grow up, and your child will be raised by someone else, with an emptiness that will be hard to fill… I don’t know… he for sure has the money but is it right?
Who’s celebrating this? Cringy AF
Man, how selfish can you be?
so I know, I know, but my dad passed away a couple of years ago, and he looked JUST like Robert DeNiro as they both grew older. and every time I see a photo of RDN I see my dad. like I literally have to do a double take. it’s actually kinda nice to see my “dad” alive and well again. that’s the story. I’ll see myself out.
also, cute baby.
eta: I’m more like 500 months old, but whatever. your pops is your pops.
People in their 30s should be the ones having babies.
No tengo Dinero no, no tengo dinero no no no no.
Both just had their diaper changed.
I hate his smug smile, like he knows he’s not going to have to help that kid through his darkest days – because he’ll be dead.
Here I am fretting becoming a dad at 43. I wouldn’t do that to a child. Weird AF.
