Baby Jonathan was born on June 27, 1988, but Sir Tom, who has admitted sleeping with up to 250 women a year at the height of his fame, denied the child was his until a judge ordered him to undergo a DNA test which proved otherwise.
He was subsequently ordered to pay £1,700-a-month for Jon’s upkeep for the first 18 years of his life, a drop in the ocean given his vast wealth — he is worth around £155 million.
But despite paying up, Sir Tom made it clear that he wanted nothing else to do with his offspring.
‘It wasn’t something I had planned,’ said Sir Tom when he finally spoke about the matter in 2008.
‘If I had planned it, I would have done something more than just financially. But it wasn’t. I just fell for it. I just fell for the seduction.’
How can someone have no interest in their own offspring on the basis that they weren't planned?

Horrible words for his son to read. Better to have said nothing rather than trying to justify his actions.

You're not telling me he got through that many without picking up a dose of the clap. And what about the risk of catching AIDS? Yeah right. |
