Al Pacino’s cautionary tale

30 k a month is substantial but why bring a child to this world with a father who will not see her to high school?
Same goes with the bird who had a baby with Deniro. And why are those men not using condoms?
It is nuts.
They are creating more broken homes for some fast cash. It’s pathetic.

I blame the men too. They probably are so flattered to think straight!
 
While I certainly don't agree with Noor's choices, Pacino has been around the block a few times; he's knows how these things work. And if he convinced himself that a relatively young woman was genuinely attracted to him at 84, he was kidding himself (not that it can't ever happen, but let's be realistic). This is as much or more his fault than hers.

And there are children born every day into far worse circumstances than having an old, wealthy father. It's never ideal to lose a parent while young, but millions of children have an absent or deceased father and are just fine (or worse, an abusive one). As long as both parties are clear about the arrangement, a "sugar daddy" relationship is no worse than many other things that happen between consenting adults.
 
I’m surprised these men are not shooting blanks at their age. Let alone impregnating within a year. Can you imagine the amount of work/pills just to get it to function for a payday. Hard pass.

So because, there are worst circumstances in life, it is ok for super seniors to go willy-nilly having children?
Plus, having children in an advanced age multiply the chances of having a child with disabilities. It is simply not advisable, imo.
Yes, it might work out for some but having lost my parents relatively young, it is such a burden even having very comfortable material circumstances. Money is not everything in life!

I was also wondering why there seems to be little to no thought for this happening? If it was the situation, that's a lifetime of burden for "someone", possibly/probably not the mother if they have secured enough money to avoid the responsibility. That sounds harsh but I think it's realistic considering they will no doubt be "cared for" financially which seems to be part of the deal they enter into. Also, of course, the old man may not live much longer..... I don't know, it all seems rather unpleasant.

In addition, the child is very likely to have no father by the time they are an adult, or prior. Or, the father is senile etc by that time.

Nature intends parenthood for the young, not geriatrics.

My parents had a May-December romance, with my father being 22 years older than my mum. I have a fair idea of what it's like to have a much older father and to lose them while I was quite young (I was 16 when my father passed). Millions of children are raised by grandparents, and it's often the best thing, given their parental situation. And statistically, far more young people have children with disabilities (because far more younger people are having children).

All I'm saying is that EVERY person has something less-than-ideal in their life. We can go around trying to police other people's relationships and reproduction choices, but the odds are good we're throwing stones from glass houses. Even people who, from the outside, had "everything" can likely point to something they feel messed them up as a child or that they would never want to do to their own children - parents gone too often and child left with relatives or a nanny? Parents who drank too much? Parents who were physically present but emotionally absent? Parents who had issues with anxiety or depression that they were unwilling or unable to control? Abuse? Parents favoring a sibling over them? Moving every year and going to 12 different schools before graduating? Parents with heritable diseases who don't do IVF and genetic testing to prevent passing on the disease?

Again, I wouldn't have made the same choices as Moor and Pacino, but I refuse to be the eugenics police and try to dictate who should and should not have children.

do you believe $400k a year for landscaping? wow. must have been a large property with lots of plants
The accountant took care of all of these minute details. He probably never looked at a statement his whole life. He just remembers how much he got for each film and focused his energy in acting. And besides, his accountant probably made false statements, so no point looking at them. He got screwed......

Feel really sorry for this guy. Cautionary tale for other celebrities.
