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 both said they would be broadening their families at 79 and 83, respectively.
