Hollywood heavyweight Robert De Niro will be in the best of spirits this coming Christmas. The actor, one might say, has a double holiday. As the American press reported the day before, the 68-year-old artist became a father for the sixth time.

Baby Helen Grace (Helen Grace) was born from a surrogate mother. The girl was born strong, healthy, weighing about 3, 3 kg. For De Niro, this is the second child of a marriage to former flight attendant, 56-year-old Grace Hightower. The couple are already raising a 13-year-old son, Elliot.

“At my age, you can no longer afford to waste time. You suddenly realize that the time is coming when you will no longer have the same energy. And that is why I want to do as much as possible,”admitted Robert in a recent interview.

It should be noted that the actor - as a true Italian - has always sought to create a large family and acquire a bunch of heirs. From his first marriage, he has a son, Raphael, and in 1995, thanks to in vitro fertilization, a surrogate mother gave birth to twin boys Julian Henry and Aaron Kendrick for De Niro and his second wife Toukie Smith. The boys are now 16 years old.

As the star wittily remarked at the Golden Globe ceremony, where she received an award for her contribution to the development of cinema: “You know, all my films are like my children. The only difference is that my kids cost more and cannot be converted to 3D so that they can raise ticket prices and provide better fees. As for the kids, we all hope that our films will sell well so that we can secure places for them in private schools.”

By the way, next year, 2012, more than 10 films with the actor's participation were announced. Recently, the romantic comedy "Old New Year" was released, where De Niro starred in the company with Hilary Swank.
