Jeff Goldblum on Why He Won’t Financially Support His Kids When They’re Older: “Got to Row Your Own Boat”

1. Given he’s 71 and they’re under 10, he won’t emotionally support them when they’re older either.

2. “Ok, I’ll drop you off at third base, but then you have to make a bunt yourself in order to say you hit a home run on your own”.

3. Just soured me on Jeff, what a toolbag.

4. Bullshit. His wife is an Olympic gymnast 30 years younger than him. He may not be passing on his money, but she sure will be.

5. But will he actively stop his connections and “family friends” from helping those kids realize their acting and/or professional DJ careers?

6. Seems like he’s entitled to do what ever he wants.

7. Some rowboats are a different quality than others

8. He may not be willing to *support* them, but helping them in a crisis is a whole nother ballgame. I seriously doubt he would be that mean to his own flesh and blood. Anyway, you should not believe everything you read on the internet.

9. I fucking hate this displays of being tough. They probably had everything available to them. Send them to fancy colleges where they can make the right connections and friendships. Who needs daddy?

10. He clearly got a young wife who wanted (financial stability/security) kids, so he gave in. It make sense if you are very old dating younger, those women will need children or they will find someone to give them children! He’s bitter that they (his young family) will move on after he’s gone… He could have stayed childless with an age appropriate wife!
