Oscar and Golden Globe winning actor, who can be seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as it is being shown on BBC One tonight (Friday, August 12), first lost a child back in 1959 as, only two months after Redford's ex-wife Lola Van Wagenen had given birth to baby Scott, he passed away due to sudden infant death syndrome.
The pair, understandably devastated, held a small private funeral at the time and in the following years went on to have three more children: Shauna, Amy and James.
Then in 2020, Redford faced even more heartbreak after his second son passed away, this time due to liver cancer. Like his father, James was a filmmaker and activist but had been plagued with liver problems since he was young due to a rare auto-immune condition known as primary sclerosing cholangitis.
His condition led him to have two transplants back in the 1990s and it was while he was waiting for a third that the actor passed away.
