Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and more
Fatherhood comes with a lot of duties like changing diapers, teaching kids to ride a bike and driving them to school — and these celebrity dads have those tasks down pat.
Many silver-haired Hollywood daddies had their children later in life, such as film icons Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, who recently announced they would be broadening their families at ages 79 and 83, respectively.
Other industry stars such as Hugh Grant, Rod Stewart, Clint Eastwood and more have also become papas when they reached their late 50s, 60s and beyond.
