Let's assume the son's age is x.
According to the problem, the father's age is x + 24.
In 3 years, the father's age will be (x + 24) + 3 = x + 27.
According to the problem, in 3 years the father's age will be twice the son's current age, so x + 27 = 2x.
By rearranging the equation, we find that x = 27.
So the father's current age is x + 24 = 27 + 24 = <<27+24=51>>51 years. Answer: \boxed{51}.
