Sexy Superhero Parents: The Top 10

Whit Honea — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:16:00 GMT

Superheroes. We love them, we need them. Man, we sure could use some about now, couldn't we?

The Superhero movie has become pure gold lately, monetarily speaking, and some of Hollywood's biggest (and hottest) stars have been putting on the tights (or armor) for our viewing pleasure. Many of those stars are parents, hence this list on FameCrawler (not to mention the fact that I'm a big comic ~~geek~~ fan).

I know, all good parents are super or heroes or whatever, this isn't about that. This is about rocking the spandex (and box office).

Excelsior!

10. Tobey Maguire- Spiderman: Seabiscuit's own Tobey has starred as Peter Parker/Spiderman in all three of the films thus far in the series. There is talk that a fourth film will be released in a few years. Tobey is married to Jennifer Meyer and has a one-year-old daughter Ruby Sweetheart.

9. James Marsden- Cyclops: James played Cyclops in the X-Men trilogy. He was also in Superman, but not as the 'man of steel.' He was also the prince in Enchanted, which was actually quite good. He is married to Lisa Linde and they have two children, Jack (7) and Mary (turns 3 in August).

8. Eric Bana- Hulk: Eric played the Hulk's alter-ego Bruce Banner in the earlier Hulk film (the role played this summer by Ed Norton). He also starred shirtless with Brad Pitt in Troy. The Australian actor is married to Rebecca Gleeson and they have two children, Klaus (10) and Sophia (7).

7. Will Smith- Hancock: Will Smith has been in every movie ever made, and now he's a superhero. Smith is married to Jada Pinkett-Smith and has three children, Trey, Jaden and Willow.

6. Jennifer Garner/Ben Affleck- Elektra/Daredevil: Jennifer Garner should be ranked higher, but she's got that Affleck anchor attached to her. I only had room for 10 and since these two characters are so intertwined, both in the movie and real life, well, you get it. The couple have a daughter named Violet and might have one on deck.

5. Robert Downey, Jr.- Iron Man: Could there ever be a better Tony Stark? Reformed bad boy Robert Downey, Jr., finally matched his box office intake to his critical acclaim when he landed in the role he was born to play. Robert is married to Susan Levin and has a 16-year-old son, Indio, from a previous marriage.

4. Jessica Alba- Invisible Woman: Jessica Alba was anything but invisible in her role as the Fantastic Four's Susan Storm/Invisible Woman. She played the part twice. Alba is married to Cash Warren and they have a brand new daughter named Honor.

3. Halle Berry- Storm: Did you know that Academy Award winner Halle Berry was the runner-up in the 1986 Miss USA? It's true, ask Wikipedia. Berry played Storm in all of the X-Men movies. She recently had a baby, Nahla, with her boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry.

2. Hugh Jackman- Wolverine: Yes, Hugh Jackman is super dad. The Broadway star has played the character of Logan/Wolverine in all of the X-Men films and will be the subject of the prequel, Wolverine, which is currently filming. Hugh is married to Deborra-Lee Furness and has two children, Oscar (8) and Ava (turns 3 tomorrow, Happy Birthday, Ava!).

1. Christian Bale- Batman: Who else could it be? Christian Bale is our winner. Congratulations, pretty boy. Bale is married to Sandra "Sibi" Blazic and together they have a daughter whose name has never been confirmed. Bale, like Batman, is a pretty private guy.

And there you go, a bunch of sexy superhero parents. Remember, if you want to learn (or see) more of these celebrities you're in the right spot. FameCrawler is all celebrity parents all the time.

Next week, supervillians!

Take us out, KISS:

Will Smith Wants To Squash Daughter Willow

Karen — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:25:00 GMT

Both Will's movie, Hancock and Willow's debut movie, Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl hit U.S. cinemas on July 2nd, and Daddy is looking to come out ahead of his daughter.

"I just told her, 'Sweetheart, daddy loves you - but I've got to stop you at the box office," said Will Smith to 7 year old daughter Willow.

What does Willow think of her dad's competitive nature?

She was like, 'Well daddy, you get us a lot of nice things, so you do what you have to do.'"

Here are the trailers for both movies. I can't wait to see Hancock and I'm grateful I don't have daughters so I don't have to sit through that girly stuff!

Iron Man is a Lakers Fan

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:07:00 GMT

Tony Stark, aka, Iron Man, aka, Robert Downey, Jr., and his son Indio, aka... just Indio, went to a NBA playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz.

It's good to see Downey on top of his game, and judging by his seats, the Lakers' game as well.

BTW, did I mention that Iron Man was awesome?

Jessica Alba - Taking Her Clothes Off

Sassy Smith — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:03:00 GMT

Will Jessica Alba be doing nude scenes in her movies? Fingers crossed right? Nope. Alba confesses that she no longer fears doing the naked stuff as she's got someone else doing it for her. Those are some pretty big boobs, err, shoes to fill.

Jess admits to not feeling comfortable getting naked in front of cameras and crew, so now she can relax since she's recruited a body-double - a friend of hers.

"In my new movie [The Eye] it is a girlfriend of mine in the shower scene. She stood in for me. I do not want to be naked in front of the crew. It makes me nervous."

Aww shucks guys - although you might think you're seeing a nude Alba, you're really not. Hey don't shoot the messenger.

Jessica and her fiance Cash Warren are due with their first child later this year.

Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey's Gold Rush

Karen — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 18:34:00 GMT

Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey's new movie, Fool's Gold, has struck it rich at the box office for it's debut weekend, despite reviews by critics.

Grossing $22 million, the romantic adventure beat out Martin Lawerence's "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins," which opened at No. 2 with $17.1 million. Disney's "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert," fell to third place at just over $10 million.

Critics hated the movie but were anxious to see Hudson and McConaughey together,. "A great marketing campaign, two appealing stars, and reviews be damned," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "Heading into Valentine's week, it's sort of a natural."

Critics and weathermen both ought to be phased out -- they are both occupations that are often wrong, and this is no exception.

Tom Cruise is Down to Earth and Apparently a Bit of a Liar

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 13:05:00 GMT

In spite of his millions, his private jets, his mansions and his movie star wife, Tom Cruise insists he is a simple man. No, really. "I wear jeans, socks and a shirt - all totally normal. I get my hair cut on set. I have no iPhone, no mobile, no email address, no watch, no jewelry, no wallet." Judging by this statement, I expect to see Cruise living among the Amish, wife Katie in a bonnet by his side as they pull up to their movie premiere in a pony-powered buggy.

But wait - this photo was taken last Monday during Cruise's appearance on TRL and what's that wrapped around his wrist? Could that be the battery-operated time-telling device that Tom claims has no place in his life? I'm thinking that after this shot was taken, Tom got on his iPhone to his agent, told him to forward his contracts to his email, and then pulled out his wallet to throw hundred-dollar bills to the crowd. I'll bet he's lying about the socks, too.
