Non Celebrity Dads and How To Be Like US!

Great Celebrity Dads and How To Be Like Them

Some celebrity dads seem to have a handle on life and fame.

With Father’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be nice to take a look at some spectacular celebrity dads. Always in the limelight, these fathers manage their careers as well as their family life with no nannies in sight! From adoptive fathers to stepfathers, these dads have what it takes to keep their kids smiling.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt and his brood of children from around the world can be seen everywhere hand in hand, having fun. From the daily stuff to days on movie sets, Brad gives Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh the very best.

Brad is a great example of a blended family father. Although more than half of his children are adopted, Brad has a special place in his heart for each one of them. Brad proves that biology has nothing to do with a father’s love.

Acceptance is key when it comes to a blended family. The kids might not be yours, but it’s important to give them all equal love and attention. Be like Brad by loving your children for who they are, wacky mohawks and all!

Johnny Depp

Lily-Rose and Jack are lucky to have Depp as a Dad. He puts his family first when it comes to their safety and happiness. Most recently, Depp who has starred in such scary films as Sleepy Hollow and From Hell, has switched gears and started making movies for the PG crew. Captain Jack is family friendly!

Show your kids they matter most. When you have the chance, spend more time with them, rather than with your laptop! If there’s a way to combine work with your family, say a work-sponsored family event, take it. The kids will love spending time with Dad at his place of employment and Dad will get some networking time with his kids.

Tom Cruise

Tom might be a little on the nutty side, but you can’t deny he gives his kids, Isabella, Connor and Suri, everything. From attending his older children’s sports matches, to cuddling Suri, Tom is an attentive father. He might be a big budget film star, but Tom cheers on from the sidelines, just like any other Dad.

Tom shows his kids they’re number one by being there during those defining moments on the field. Win or lose, Tom’s taking them out for dinner! Even if soccer games or dance recitals or chess tournaments aren’t your thing, be the best Dad and smile throughout the entire thing.

Will Smith

Will has three kids: Trey, Jaden and Willow. From Will’s music career to his film career, he loves to share it with his children. Trey had a starring role in his Dad’s music video for “Just the Two of Us” and Jaden got his chance on the silver screen in one of Dad’s movies The Pursuit of Happyness.

Will proves that dads don’t need to feel shown-up by their childrens' talents. Although you don’t need to take the backseat (see The Pursuit of Happyness), it’s important to let your kids shine to develop self-esteem and personality.

Ashton Kutcher & Bruce Willis

Demi Moore’s kids, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah have two great fathers: Daddy Bruce and Step-Father Ashton. With Bruce, the kids get a super Dad, who has starred in such films as Armageddon and Sin City. Ashton is the younger role model. His film roles include Dude, Where’s My Car and Just Married. Demi’s girls get the best of both worlds, two great Dads in Bruce and Ashton.

What you can learn from Bruce and Ashton is to put the kids first: if your ex-spouse remarries, keep your personal problems backstage. There’s no such thing as too many good role models; adoptive fathers, step-fathers or biological fathers. Welcome all good role models for your children!
