Renowned figures such as Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Al Pacino, and Robert De Niro have attracted attention for their notable careers and pattern of dating younger women and fathering numerous children.
The wealth and power have led some to criticize these men, labeling them as entitled and responsible for perpetuating what comedian Chelsea Handler calls the “horny old man epidemic.”
The Comedic Critique of Chelsea Handler
Chelsea Handler, known for her unapologetic and razor-sharp wit, has expressed her disdain for these practices, branding them as gross and expressing concerns about these men’s continuous procreation. She uses her platform to criticize these high-profile figures, highlighting the age difference between these men, their partners, and their expansive families.
A Closer Look at the Fatherhood Trend
Elon Musk tops the list of these men with the most offspring – a whopping 10 children. Al Pacino, with his fourth child on the way, is not far behind, with his partner Noor Alfallah almost 40 years his junior.
Robert De Niro recently celebrated the birth of his seventh child with partner Tiffany Chen, 45. Whereas Rupert Murdoch with six children, and Alec Baldwin with eight.
Elon Musk stands out from the rest by admitting his intentions to have as many children as possible due to his prediction of an impending population collapse – a belief that excludes developing countries from the equation.
Handler’s Message to the ‘Horny Old Men‘
Handler’s criticism culminated in a video shared on her social media, where she humorously yet firmly addressed the “epidemic” of older men with growing families. She satirically suggested that these men auction themselves off as antiques, underlining her argument that wealth doesn’t necessarily make them more appealing. Handler’s humorous take on this societal issue encourages discussion around aging, wealth, and fatherhood.
