Some dream of a big family and many small "clones", while others are in no hurry to become fathers. At the same time, most of them cannot be called reclusive - journalists are aware of their romances, and some of them with a 99% probability should have ended in a wedding. But no, our nimble heroes again left the relationship without a ring, and remained enviable suitors. Could it be that these men were too keen on their careers? Or are they reputed to be perfectionists, choosing the very best woman as the mother of the heir? Although some of them needed a lady insofar as … So, meet - fathers who became biological parents after 50 years, and some even closer to 70.

George Clooney

Well, this handsome man can be called both a perfectionist and a collector, and several other names that we will not name. It was not for nothing that Kelly Preston gave him a pig, refusing to continue the relationship with him. For a long time, George avoided serious steps in life, until he was 54 years old, remaining the most enviable groom in Hollywood. The lawyer Amal Alamuddin was able to subdue him. The young couple had a luxurious wedding in one of the most romantic places in the world. The royal wedding took place in Venice in September 2014 and cost the groom several million dollars.

And in 2017, George Clooney became the father of the adorable twins Alexander and Ella. As the star father said, the news that two heirs would be born at once came as a surprise to him. But now he is one of the happiest fathers. George boasts that by the age of two, the kids already knew the English and Italian alphabets. He also notes that, in addition to a sharp mind, children have an excellent sense of humor - they are already making fun of their parents. As for the character, then, according to him, Ella is a born leader and is very similar to her mother, but Alexander prefers to give in and follow his sister.

Hugh grant

The English actor could have become a father at an earlier age - he dated actress Elizabeth Hurley for thirteen years. But the girl broke up with the actor in 2000, married another, and in 2002 gave birth to a son. By the way, Hugh Grant became his godfather. For some time, the actor was in no hurry to acquire offspring, telling annoying journalists that "this is not his story" and that he "can be with the baby for about four minutes - this is the maximum." After that, he "finds it difficult to understand what everyone is fussing about."

But after the half-century anniversary, the actor had a "full house". For seven years, he managed to become a father as many as five times! The first daughter Tabitha Zhao Shi Hong Grant was born to him by the Chinese woman Tinglan Hong. A year later, Swedish TV producer Anna Eberstein gave him a son, John Mungo Grant. Then again Hong gave birth to a son, Felix Chang Hong Grant, and then Eberstein two more children. As the actor told the British newspaper, - “There is probably some truth that one of our main functions on the planet is reproduction, because it seems like a bigger achievement than it should. In the hospital, everyone cooed over the baby. And I felt - pride! ".

Elton John

This very unusual individual also had a chance to experience the strongest instinct of humanity. With his lover and partner David Furnish, he legalized the relationship in 2005, immediately after the legalization of same-sex marriage in the UK. And then the couple thought about the children. Finally, at the end of December 2010, a surrogate mother from California gave birth to their son, who was named Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. A little over two years later, a second boy appeared. Thus, the famous musician became a father for the first time at the age of 63.

In a frank interview that Elton John gave on the eve of his 70th birthday, he stressed that children play a huge role for him. And if he were 15 years younger, he would certainly become the father of two or three more guys. For both boys, the singer chose Lady Gaga as godmother. In his opinion, "she is a great role model." Well, and one of the richest people in the world looks at the methods of education rather strictly. He believes that children should not take "the nice things that are given to them for granted." And he also hopes that the boys will become involved in chores around the house as they get older, and later buy a used car and return the money to their parents.

Richard Gere

And again, the famous heartthrob and sophisticated handsome man. In his youth, the actor became a Buddhist, so he often preferred oriental practices to communication with women. Although his girlfriends include the most beautiful models, actresses, TV presenters, writer and artist. But the actor is very selective in his approach to candidates. He did not even succumb to Julia Roberts' charms - after filming the movie "Pretty Woman" the actress complained that she could not seduce him. This is also an "old-born" father - the first official child was a baby born to model Carey Lowell in 2000.

After this marriage, the actor dated for several years and then married journalist Alejandra Silva, who also gave Richard a son in 2019. And more recently, last year, the 71-year-old actor became a dad for the third time. The baby was named after his mother Alexander. According to the actor, “fatherhood is very conducive to my spiritual and personal growth”, as it combines love and wisdom at the same time.

Steve Martin

In 2012, Hollywood actor and comedian Steve Martin, best known for his role in the movie "The Pink Panther," became a father for the first time. He had a daughter from a journalist wife. This was the first child of the 67-year-old actor. However, old age does not bother the father at all - on the contrary, he considers his fatherhood conscious. By this age, the man believes, a person already manages to achieve everything, there is no need to build a career, so there is a lot of free time. And you can spend it on your daughter. "It is wonderful!" - sums up the actor. Friends of the couple say that the parent is very worried about the girl's comfort and safety. Therefore, there are no photos of her on the Internet. But in real life, Steve has practically given up filming, devoting himself entirely to his daughter.

George Lucas

The legendary director had three adopted children whom he adopted in the 80s. Moreover, if the girl was taken when the director was married, then the rest of the children were adopted by him alone. So we can say that Lucas knows firsthand what it means to be both a father and a mother. But the years passed, the children grew up. In 2013, Lucas marries 44-year-old Mellody Hobson, whom he had met for 7 years before. A few months later, the newlyweds became happy parents - with the help of a surrogate mother, daughter Everest was born. At that time, the happy father turned 69 years old.
