LOS ANGELES — Jamie Foxx, 58, is about to become a father again. He was “a little on the fence” about it. Then Al Pacino, 83, changed his mind.
The Oscar-winning actor confirmed the pregnancy with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp in an exclusive E! News interview. His daughter Corinne, 30, sat beside him. The hesitation was real.
“You’re thinking about the age,” Foxx said. “You’re thinking about the energy.” He joked about “getting back in action” and the brutal reality of sleepless nights. The fear of not keeping up with a newborn at 58 is not irrational. It is physiological.
But Pacino’s example reframed everything. The “Godfather” star welcomed a son, Roman, in June 2023. He was 83. Public reaction was swift, often mocking. Pacino did not flinch. He showed up at public events, baby in tow, indifferent to the math.
Foxx took note. If an 83-year-old can embrace diapers and 3 a.m. feedings with public grace, a 58-year-old can manage the same. The worry dissolved. Not by logic alone, but by example.
