Let me tell you something interesting. With the smash success of Bohemian Rhapsody becoming the highest-grossing music biopic ever, it seems like Rod Stewart is catching the biopic fever too. And guess what? He already has his eye on who should play the younger version of himself—his son Alastair. That’s right, folks, this isn’t just about Rod anymore; it’s about bringing his family into the spotlight as well.
Now, let’s be real here. Everyone and their grandmother is getting a biopic these days. From Freddie Mercury to Elton John, whose film Rocketman is set to hit theaters in 2019, it’s no surprise that Rod Stewart wants to join the party. During a recent appearance on the British talk show This Morning, Rod let the cat out of the bag. “I would absolutely love a movie,” he said with a grin. “My son Alastair said, ‘Dad, we gotta make one about you! I can play the younger version of you.’” Can you picture that? A 13-year-old Alastair taking on the role of his legendary father? Rod was all in, saying, “I’d love to cooperate!”
But here’s the kicker—Rod could have chosen from any of his two other sons or even gone all out and cast all eight of his children in the movie. Yes, you read that right—eight kids! And for Rod, spending time with them isn’t just a priority—it’s a necessity. This man knows what it means to balance work and family, and now he’s ready to share that journey with the world.

Rod Stewart isn’t just a rock icon; he’s a dad who understands the importance of being present in his kids’ lives. “I see the kids’ calendars and work around it because, well, I can afford to do it!” he exclaimed with a laugh. But it wasn’t always this way. In his younger years, Rod admitted to struggling to find that balance. Back then, he was “hugely in debt” to the IRS, which forced him to prioritize work over family. “I had to go,” he recalled. “I was hugely in debt to the IRS, so I had to work.” His two eldest children, Kimberly and Sean, didn’t hesitate to voice their complaints. “Kids, I wasn’t having a party,” Rod explained. “I had to go to work to pay them off!”
It’s a powerful reminder that even the most successful people face challenges. Rod’s journey through parenthood is one filled with lessons learned and moments cherished, and it’s clear he wants to share that story with the world.
And if you’re keeping score at home, Rod’s eight children come from five different women. His firstborn, Sarah Streeter, was born to his partner Susannah Boffey. While there’s no word yet on whether Rod plans to bring all the women in his life to the premiere of his future biopic, one thing’s for sure—this is a story that needs to be told. Imagine the drama, the music, the heartache, and the triumphs. It’s a life filled with so many chapters that it might need more than one movie to capture it all.
