Our favourite celebrity grandparents

When some think of grandparents, they think grey hair and knitting, but we know better than that in the Starts at 60 community! We’re becoming grandparents at a younger age and we are more active than ever. That’s why we love these celebrities – along with us, they break the mould of what a stereotypical grandparent should look like! You might be shocked to find out who really is….
