Hot Celebrity Dads
Here in the United States, it is Father’s Day today, and there have been a few celebrity dad lists come out in the last few days. Kevin Federline topped one list as Father of the Year, while over on AOL Brad Pitt tops there list of their top fifteen dads. Yes, I scratched my head at Federline receiving the honor too, but in the dad department Brad Pitt is also tops in my book. He has one child with Angelina Jolie, three adopted children with her and a set of twins to arrive into the world any day now. That is if they haven’t arrived in the world already. There has been much speculation on whether or not Angelina has given birth yet, but no official word from Angie and Brad themselves.
Being a dad is a tough job under normal circumstances, but being a celebrity dad is even tougher I bet. They need to put up with so much. The constant attention and scrutiny by the press and their fans, while raising their children. Some prefer to keep their kids out of the public eye. They want them to have normal childhoods. To these dads, I commend you for doing this. Some would like to do this, but they aren’t able to. Brad Pitt, for instance, is followed wherever he goes, and his daily itinerary hits the Internet before the end of the day some days. I really couldn’t imagine a life like this. Some celebrity dads are my favorites, so I’m giving you my own list of celebrity dads.
These are Celebrity Today’s dad’s of the year:
Brad Pitt also tops my list for the reasons above and so many others. He is the all-American good guy. Even with his celebrity status, he gives and gives back some more. Make It Right is looking to bring back New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina ravaged that city.
Hugh Jackman makes the list for always being around his children no matter how busy this actor gets. I’ve lost count of how many times pictures have come up with the actor and his two children, and they are always smiling. He is now working on Wolverine: Origins in Australia.
Ben Affleck and his daughter Violet. These two are just adorable together. With Jennifer Garner, the Afflecks are one happy Hollywood family. I’ve always been a fan of both of these celebrities and their family.
Will Smith and his son Jayden. If there is one thing we can say about Will Smith is that he loves his son. He is always by his side at events, and he is helping guide his son through Hollywood now. They are always side by side at events, and they look great together.
Eric Bana is rising star in Hollywood, but he’s been around a few years. His kids are rarely photographed, but they are with him almost everywhere he goes. When photographed in Toronto late last year, the Hulk actor had some not too kind words with one photographer.
Jon Bon Jovi is an actor and singer with so many more titles attached to his name. One of them being dad. The man has made it a mission to keep his kids out of the spotlight. Having four with high school sweetheart, Dorothea, I’ve never seen one picture of any of his kids.
Which celebrity dad would make your list? And to all the dads out there, celebrity or not, have a great day. Let the kids take care of you today. You’ve earned it.
