[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 65230, member: 3"] Charlie Chaplin: an older dad that any kid would be proud of. You probably heard it already: George and Amal Clooney are expecting. Yessiree, that perennial 55-year old bachelor, once described by the New Yorker Magazine as: “lightly ironic, clever, and self-deprecating, with furrowed brow and bobbing head, and a gyration in the lower jaw,” is awaiting diaper duty…for twins nonetheless. Ironically, this little feature of the salt-and-pepper haired actor’s life was highlighted by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), maybe because Clooney is 2.2 times older than the average U.S. father having his first child? And what, pray tell, are the consequences of being born to an older dad? Not The First Surely, Clooney is not the first of Hollywood royalty to be an older dad. Take a look at ages of other, older, Hollywood dads that paint Clooney as a youngster father: Tony Randall 76 years old Charlie Chaplin 73 years old Mick Jagger 73 years old Robert DeNiro 68 years old Pablo Picasso 68 years old Steve Martin 67 years old Clint Eastwood 66 years old Larry King 66 years old Nick Nolte 66 years old Hugh Hefner 66 years old Cary Grant 62 years old Rod Stewart 60 years old Clearly the Clooneys are merely maintaining a tradition rather than starting any real trend in modern day parenthood. Risk is Relative To be sure, there are several layers of risk to being an older dad. Miscarriage rates and pre-term births are about twice as common, and offspring birth defects are about 25% higher. Kids with chromosomal issues are higher, but not as high as kids born to older (>38 years) mothers. Most concerning however, are the higher rates of rare genetic diseases in offspring and the similar increased risk of schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder and ADHD in children of older dads. Enough to scare you out of having kids, right? [URL="http://us5.campaign-archive2.com/?u=69c176fc8d4b759d97132b6fa&id=19c8b6fad1&e=6b896aa58d"]Source[/URL] [/QUOTE]
