When you think grandfather or grandmother, it’s easy to envision Tweety Bird’s owner or Dorothy’s mom on The Golden Girls. Maybe you’re also getting the faint whiff of mothballs, picturing a mouthful of dentures, or maybe imagining a group of them sitting around a table playing bridge.
But Hollywood is a different world and celebs’ kids’ kids can sometimes have all-star athletes, stars of blockbuster movies or award-winning performers as their grams or gramps. That’s right, being a grandparent is cooler than ever.

Kiefer Sutherland
He may be best known as Jack Bauer but Sutherland's favourite role in the last decade has probably been grandfather. His stepdaughter, Michelle, welcomed Hamish Kiefer Sinclair in 2005, and we love how she honoured her boy with Sutherland's name. Aw.

Priscilla Presley
At this point, it shouldn't be surprising that Elvis's ex, now 70, has grandkids. But grandmotherhood actually came quite early for Priscilla, whose daugther Lisa Marie, had daughter Riley in 1989 and son Benjamin three years later—making Priscilla a grandmother (or "Nona," as she prefers) at the ripe age of 44. FYI, she has two other grandkids, twin girls Finley and Harper; Lisa Marie and fourth husband Michael Lockwood's children, born in 2008.
