10 Celebrity Dads We Love

Posted by Tammy | Friday June 17, 20117 comments
          Since Father's Day is this Sunday, why not honor all the dads out there with a look at the 10 Celebrity dads we love most. We chose these dads because of how supportive they seem of their kids and the great comments we've read on their parenting skills (not just because they're easy on the eyes). They're presented in no particular order—we'll let you decide which one tops your list!


1. A father of two with wife Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck is always seen playing around with daughters Violet and Seraphina. He once said that having a child changed his life and that his daughter Violet is the most important person in his life. (Images via Celebrity Pregnancy & People)


2. How could we leave out Brad Pitt? He became a father when he adopted Angelina Jolie's kids, and they've since added to their brood that now totals six. Even though there's more kids than there are hands, Pitt makes it look effortless. (Images via Celebrity Pregnancy & Parenting)


3. Did you know that David Beckham is such a good dad that when he is away he helps his kids with homework over Skype? Now that's a Daddy you can count on. (Images via Parenting & People)


4. Hugh Jackman is not only an amazing dad to his kids, but to kids all across America by trying to improve nutritional standards for school meals! (Images via Just Jared & People)


5. Dinners, bike rides, movie awards—it seems like Jamie Foxx takes his daughter Corrine everywhere. We love a dad who knows how to have fun. (Images via Zimbio & GossipBeast)


6. Zoe Kravitz, with the support of her rocker dad, is now a recognized actress with roles in The Brave One, Californication and X-Men: First Class. Lenny Kravitz, who's often seen out with her, must be a proud Papa. (Images via The Faster Times & Forever Benji.Blogspot)


7. Matthew McConaughey had a three-step plan for transitioning from bachelorhood to being a father: Plants, Dogs, Kids. Well, it looks like his transition is a success. Here he is with his eldest Levi Alves, and he had another child with partner Camila Alves in January 2010. (Images via Parenting & People)


8. Can you spot Daddy's little princess? Matt Damon once said in an interview that he can't, and doesn't want to imagine his life without his kids and wife. (Images via Celebrity Pregnancy & Parenting)


9. In the movie Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, we saw that when Jaden Smith's first performance got pushed early at Justin Bieber's concert, Will Smith and the rest of the family instantly boarded their private helicopter to be there. (Images via Parenting & The Grio)



10. Last but not least, Barack Obama. He once wrote a letter to his children and here is what he wants for them: "These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world."

I choose Matthew McConaughey just because his son looks like a little surfer-dude in training just like his Dad! So cute!

@jskim07 - I totally fell in love when they did the duet at the Tony's. Hugh Jackman is a talented man.
He's a sexy Wolverine.

Ah. Hugh Jackman....his accent, his body, his tallness, his broadway voice, his dance skills, his commitment to his family.
Need I say more?
Also, his duet with Neil Patrick Harris at the Tony Awards was too funny!

Matt Damon is my favourite. Mostly because he's hunky.

Ben Affleck all the way. Total babe! That scene in The Town where he's doing the chin ups made me want to have his babies, hahaha!

These all seem to be pretty amazing dads, but I've long been a huge fan of Ben Affleck and Will Smith for the way they've been good examples (at least from what we've seen). Didn't know about Hugh Jackman's work with public schools - now he's on my top fave list too!
