Many members here are saying that the kids will be traumatized (by the divorce), and never forgive their father.

Sadly, it is more complicated than that. And sadly, truth is, the kids of this Hollywwod (or Brit? he looks Brit) actor will become teens and young adults, and then they'll LOVE their (mostly absent) father.

Why?

Because he will give or leave them (in his will) tons of money.

We live in the 21st century, my friends. On them reaching 20 years or age, this rich actor will give a luxury car to each of his 4 kids, and they will love him more than middle-class kids love a caring father with no money.

21st centuries kids will love parents who give them tons of money, a car to get pussy or holiday in Cancun or an Iphone - meanwhile, the caring but poor parents will be despised and probably hated.

There's a difference between loving daddy and loving daddy's money.

I can only speculate about your own family issues, and I mean no offence by that. Why you would suggest that a child's love is bought with trinkets rather than earned with care and guidance is beyond me.

These Hollywood celebs are not raising children that will dote on them when they get old and infirm. Who will sit by their side as cancer slowly takes them. They won't be thinking "I can cheer pop's up by bringing him some of his favourite candy, given that he sent me on all those trips and bought me all that stuff while he was on set, utterly ignoring me."

I've seen parents who pour money into their kids rather than time. The kids are invariably entitled fuckwits who utterly revile their parents as being "those annoying people I have to pretend to like if I want a new car."

All the average guy sees is the loving selfie as little Becky kisses pops on the cheek the second he hands her the keys. Five minutes later she's asking "you gave me a car but you're too cheap to pay the registration? Like, what fucking difference does a few hundred bucks make?"
