In no particular order I would like to showcase some of the Best Celebrity Dads that sre not only famous in Hollyweird but important to their kids in their lives. Enjoy! HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!!
Brad Pitt – Dad to Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox and Vivienne, Brad Pitt has his hands full. If the acting thing doesn't work out, he could always paint a bus and start a traveling family choir, Von Trapp style.
David Beckham – This superstar soccer player/model, husband to fashionista Victoria Beckham, got his kids' names — Brooklyn (born March '99), Romeo (born Sept '02) and Cruz (born February '05) — tattooed on his back.
Usher – Babies bring out the softies in everyone — even cool guys like Usher. The R&B singer told RWDmag.com he witnessed the birth of his son Usher Raymond V (born November '07). "It wasn't gory at all — I cut the cord and everything. It was the realest tear I ever cried. It was uncontrollable; when I heard his voice, I just cried (snaps fingers) like that." Usher is also dad to Naviyd (born December '08.)
Will Smith – It was hard to imagine the goofy, rapping, joke-cracking Will Smith from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air maturing into a dad, but with wife Jada Pinkett by his side, he's all family man. The two became parents to Jaden in '98 and Willow in '00. His video Just the Two of Us — which features him clowning around with his son from a previous relationship, Trey, born in '92 — is evidence that even though Smith gets to rock Hollywood blockbusters and rap worldwide, being a dad is the best job he has.
Despite his busy schedule, Barack Obama goes from meetings with world leaders to spending quality time with daughters Malia (born July '98) and Sasha (born June '01), Michelle, and of course, dog Bo. He knows the kind of father he wants to be, and what he expects from fathers, saying in a speech on Father's Day last year, "[Dads
Chris Martin – Coldplay frontman doesn't talk about his personal life with wife Gwyneth Paltrow much but he did have something to say about the criticism regarding daughter Apple (born in May '04) and son Moses' (born April '06) unusual names. He told Blender, "People make a big fuss over names. Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands. There's nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that's what you want to call your baby. It's no stranger than Sarah."
Tom Cruise – With two teenagers (Isabella, born in December '92, and Connor, born in January '95 — both adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman) and a preschooler (Suri, born in April '06 to wife Katie Holmes) Cruise is experiencing the full spectrum of parenting. Cruise is hoping to be a better father than his own dad was, telling Esquire: "He was lost. He was overwhelmed by life… My mother basically did all the work, and then they got separated and I didn't see him for a long time. He didn't try to help the family financially or spiritually, and I lived with the effects of the chaos."
