What's sexier than a man who shows what a great dad he is? Doesn't get better than that! Add good looks, a winning smile, a successful career and it's the total package. Who made People's list of sexiest DILFs?

List & photos after the jump!

Ben Affleck:

Ben and wife Jennifer Garner are parents to daughter, Violet and have another baby on the way - rumored to be a son."I love being a father," said Ben. "It's wonderful. It's changed my life. It all sounds like platitudes and clichés, and that's because they're the truth."

Brad Pitt:

Daddy extraordinaire! Pitt has six kids with Angelina Jolie - Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, Shiloh, 2 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 4 months. Brad said fatherhood "is everthing." He also doesn't favor his biological kids over his adopted kids. He said of Mad, Pax and Zahara, "They're as much my blood as I am theirs."

Gavin Rossdale:

Sexy husband of Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale is busy promoting his newest album Wanderlust, but he always has time for his boys. Kingston is 2 and newest addition is Zuma, 3 months. Said Rossdale of having to leave his sons for work, "So being on tour, I love it and totally miss it. I'll be going on tour soon. Now I've got a new complication because I'm so crazy about my son. I can take him for some of it but clearly not all of it, and that's a bit of a heartbreaker... It's a bit sad. I've been away on different trips, and I ring home and speak to him. He's just old enough now to speak to on the phone, and he says, 'Daddy, get off the airplane.'"

Ryan Phillippe:

Hot stuff (technical term) Ryan Phillippe is a single dad to Ava, 9, and Deacon, 5. He and ex-wife Reese Witherspoon share custody and are one of the few Hollywood couples who have kept things relatively friendly after divorce, for the sake of their children. Reese had said once of Ryan, "He knows exactly how to negotiate a tantrum."

Tom Cruise:

Valkyrie star Tom Cruise has two teenage kids with ex-wife Nicole Kidman. Isabella is 15, and son Connor is 13. The two live with Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes, with whom he has one daughter, Suri, 2. Although I personally don't think of him as hot, he is a doting dad and speaks highly of his lovely family. He's still on my crazy list, but that's another story.

David Beckham:

Sexy soccer dad David Beckham is always spending quality time with his three boys. He also likes to give them one on one time and is often taking them to basketball games. He is a proud papa to Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 3. He's married to former Spice Girl, Victoria aka Posh Spice.

Will Smith:

Rapper & actor Will Smith, wrote a song for his oldest boy Trey (with ex-wife Sheree), titled "Just the Two of Us." Smith has said, "There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?" He's also dad to two children with wife, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith - Jaden, 10, and Willow, 8.

Seal:

The singer said of fatherhood, "What I love most about fatherhood is the opportunity to be a part of the development process of a new life." Seal is daddy to Heidi Klum's daughter Leni, 4 (from a previous relationship), and the couple have two children together - Henry, 3, and Johan, 2.

Matt Damon:

"Jason Bourne" actor Matt Damon took the Sexiest Man Alive honor back in 2007 so of course he'd make PEOPLE's list of hottest daddies. Damon and his wife Luciana are parents to two girls - Isabella, 2, and Gia Zavala, 2 months (Luciana has a daughter Alexia from her previous marriage). Matt's brother said, "He's a terrific uncle and he's going to be a wonderful father." When Matt's newest baby arrived he decided to take the rest of the year off and said, "I'm just hanging out with my family."

Usher:

R&B sensation, Usher, welcomed his first son Usher V (nicknamed "Cinco") almost one year ago, and he kept his baby under wraps for almost 7 months before he let the public catch a glimpse of his little one. Usher told PEOPLE that his son "is already trying [to do flips]. He's a pull-up master." Usher and wife Tameka Foster, are about to welcome a second son in December.

Hugh Jackman:

Hugh has won the title of People's Sexiest Man Alive this year, so of course that makes him a sexy dad too. The X-Men hottie is father to Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3, with wife Deborra-Lee Furness. Hugh said of adopting, it's "phenomenal, and there are so many kids in need. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to us."

Anyone on the list that gets your heart racing? Or is your favorite celebrity dad not on the list?
