      > “They think about my mortality. They worry about my mortality,” John says in the film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Friday, Sept. 6.

      > According to John, his two sons “love their daddy, so they want me to be around forever, [and] I would love to be around forever.”

      > **”I want to see them have children and get married. I don’t think I’m going to be around for that. Who knows?” John says. “You never know.”**

      > “So that’s why I want to use the best time — the best of my time — while I’m around,” he adds. “Time together is so wonderful and so precious.”

      I mean, potentially not being around for the big adult milestones is kind of the price of admission when you have kids in your 60’s (and 70’s and 80’s). It’s something I worry about, and I had kids in my late 30s.

      It’s selfish to have kids when you are that old. Worrying about a parents mortality is a heavy burden to put on a kid. At least generally in the case of famous people, the other parent is decades younger so they’ll hopefully be around for a while.
