Tim Roth was to old to play father to that boy.


Tim Roth look to old to play father to that boy.

Why could it they get someone like Patrick Dempsey or Bradley Cooper or Ben Affleck or Brad Pitt for father role!.

Yes! I totally thought the same thing!!!! Naomi Watts and the little boy seemed to fit but the father seemed much too old

I don't understand the point you're making. It's hardly unusual for men to date/marry much younger women. Tim Roth would have been in his early-mid 40s when the film was made, and that might seem old to you, to be in that relationship, but it's certainly not by conventional standards!

Don't mean to sound shallow but just wanted to have someone better looking to play father!.

You say that like Tim Roth is ugly or something... He's an attractive man. Let me guess, you're pretty young yourself. Teens or early twenties, right? Well, when you're that age everyone over 30 seems ancient to you. But once you hit your 30's you realize that 30-50 isn't really all that old. In fact, it's still young! Sure the average life expectancy is currently around 70, but you have to realize that these death stats are from people born in the 1920's-1960's. Nutrition and medicine have improved tremendously since then. We're younger than we ever were!

I thought men could be new biological fathers their entire lives (lesser but present fertility when older)?

They can. Unless there are other problems, men can father a child their entire lives.

reply

Umm... no. Didnt think he looked too old.

Roth is only 7 years older than Watts. If he's too old to play the parent, then so was she.


Roth is hot btw, can't say the same of Dempsey, Cooper, or Pitt who is Roth's age fyi.

Dude, guy had cash.

Women are whores and will *beep* a 80 year old man if he has money and dump out his spawn.

You're never going to lose your virginity with an attitude like that.

You mean too old, not to old. And, no he was't.

Stupidest thing I've heard in a long time

A man doesn't have much of an expiry date when it comes to making babies, men in their 70's have impregnated women

Also, had he been any of those you are suggesting it would not be as believable as they would probably be able to overthrow these teenagers, even with a broken leg

Why are you keeping this curiosity door locked?
