Morgan Freeman wants kids with his step granddaughter

I don't think the thread is just about this particular story. It extends to the issue of whether or not you agree with this sort of thing. So yeah it was the national enquirer but you can still make a comment about it. It happens all the time I imagine.

"is it incest?"

I think you have to be blood related for it to be incest. I find it weird though.

EW! Morgan can't have sex! That should be against the law! Incest is not the way to go.....is it incest? This is the most disturbing news I've had all day! Yuckses!

[Please put a little more effort into your post for future reference. =)]

Response to OliverSKX:

Well yes he can... but I would hope not with someone so young. >.<

And no it isn't technically incest as they aren't blood related. It's just the fact that he is/was a grandfather figure to this girl that is disturbing.

Whelp, Morgan Freeman is kinda ruined for me now.

I'm sorry, THIS is incest in some sort of way. He still was the grandfather figure for this girl and BAM! She's old enough he starts to feel romantic feelings for her?

I think people should find out if he's a pedo. And I'm being serious. I never imagined him doing something like this. It's... it's really weird.
And I just don't know if I can view him as my favorite actor anymore.

...Well, maybe I can. I don't know.

She's 27, he's obviously not a paedophile. Geoffrey Leonard is a paedophile because he likes little boys, Morgan Freeman just happens to allegedly a 27 year old, ergo he isn't a paedophile.

I'd pretty much be reiterating what others said if I tried to add anything, but I'm curious as to why Woody Allens name hasn't popped up much considering he's in the same kinda boat, as that's another good analogy for debate here.

I was thinking more or less the same thing, he's married to his adopted daughter, it doesn't make him any less of a director or actor.

He's an elderly man and as such will die soon. Sorry to put it bluntly.

If your father dies at a young age then there are likely to be consequences. The obvious one being the child won't be nurtured by their father. Yeah sure, someone else can do it but still, you would rather a child didn't experience that.

I'm sure the child would rather be alive with a dead father than not have been born at all. If you applied the same logic to people in the army then they probably shouldn't have children because they have a very dangerous job.

The main points that I was trying to get at was that he is 46 years her senior, and it is claimed that they started the affair when she was in her teens.

So what?

It seems to me that that's all she's ever known and he's loving the fact he has a young lady hanging off him.

It's all good on his side, sure, but I really don't think it would be when it comes to his family and her family. I can't see anyone in their family approving of this.

So what? Do you know any of them? Are you related to them?

I don't understand, (whether it be Morgan Freeman or anyone else), how people can do this to their own family members.

How can you purposely engage in such an affair when you know it's going to hurt someone close to you and for all you know it might not work out and then you have no one? I mean of all the 73 year old men out there, she had to choose her grandfather figure?

What did their families say?

And for him to do this to his wife. They both acted selfishly and clearly did not think about the people who would get hurt by this.

Also as I pointed out before. They're planning to have a child for very selfish reasons. It is said that she wants one to ensure she marries him and he wants one to apparently keep her quiet about what happened during their affair when she was younger.

So what? It's just going to be more drama a man doesn't need to hear about. Least of all, people who have nothing to do with this.

This particular story might not be true on everything that was said about this particular couple, but no doubt there are other people out there going through the same thing. So that's just my thoughts on the matter. >.<

Whether or not it is true, a man does not need to concern himself with other affairs. If he finds it amusing or disturbing, he need not linger on it for too long.

I just don't really like what's going on here in this news piece. >.<

A man should not trust everything he reads.

I wasn't implying that he shouldn't have children. I was just pointing out that his situation is likely to have said consequences and he should take that into account. As I'm sure/hope military personnel do.

There's really no need to personally pinpoint this to anyone. Everyone's stating their opinion, so let's please debate about it properly without getting too personally sarcastic here. Thank you.

I'm not denying that probable death sometime during his son's childhood would have negative consequences on the child. And I agree that he should first contemplate what effect that may have on the child. However some implicitly stated that it would be selfish because of the aforementioned negative effects of his demise, I was stating that in my opinion that would be irrelevant when compared to the child actually existing as opposed to never being conceived.

I'm thoroughly amused. This totally came across to me as unlikely, and for Morgan Freeman, whose roles in movies have a tendency in portraying him in a good light, I find this rather appalling. Nonetheless, putting aside his fame, I have to admit this certainly sounds rather disturbing.

How could a grandfather figure decide to have children with his granddaughter? Then again, it does make sense to note that he may not leave long enough to see his child grow up to his teens- unless, of course, he's that lucky.

K, I have a stepfather and if he appraoched me with this idea I would be disgusted. Im shocked that someone like Morgan Freeman would propose something like this. I feel so sorry for his wife, but the fact his stepdaughter has agreed!? Its IMO wrong and he shouldnt be having those sorts of feelings.
