"I have twin boys, 12, and a daughter, 17"
About this Quote
The subtext hums with age math. Majors is best known as a quintessential 1970s action icon, a figure many people mentally freeze in reruns. Dropping the ages of his kids snaps that freeze-frame. Twins at 12 suggest late-in-life fatherhood without saying it, a quiet flex that also dares the audience to update their internal timeline. It’s a way of reclaiming relevance: not through a new role, but through the one role culture treats as eternally current.
The line also dodges the modern celebrity move of turning children into content. No names, no anecdotes, no cute punchline. Just numbers. That restraint projects a certain generational masculinity: present, proud, but guarded. In interviews, this kind of detail functions like a humanizing credential, a softener for a tough-guy legacy. The context is a media ecosystem that rewards oversharing; Majors’ minimalism becomes its own statement.
