Kevin Costner fears he will not live long enough to see his baby son grow up. The 52-year-old actor, whose wife Christine Baumgartner gave birth to Cayden Wyatt Costner last month, worries he'll die before his son becomes a man.

He said: "My fundamental fear is that I will die and someone else will have to raise my new baby. I fear I won't get to coach him in terms of what it is to be a man."

The "Rumor Has It" star says he no longer has the energy he had when raising his other children - Annie, 23, Lily, 20 and Joe, 19 - with his first wife Cindy Silva. Costner admits he uses underhand tactics to get his younger wife - who is 19 years his junior - to look after their baby during the night.

He said: "I sometimes fake sleep so my wife will get up to feed or rock him."

Costner also has a 10-year-old son Liam from his relationship with socialite Bridget Rooney. The actor is currently earning rave reviews for his performance as a serial

killer in psychological thriller "Mr. Brooks."

Everybody has to cross the line. We don't know when and how. Let the alive help them selves - isn't it? All we got to do is to leave a memory, a significant memories. So that our love ones will still be thought of "how to be a man" by being a model even though we are gone.

I bet wifey will have a new man before the body is cold. Costner is a great guy but he had this baby for her.

She had this baby for her. Prenups don't cover babies. Financial freedom comes with haveing a kid.
