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:

Patrick Dempsey Doesn't Want More Kids

Whit Honea — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:43:00 GMT

Patrick Dempsey, riding high on the box-office hit that is Disney's Enchanted*, has decided that he's getting old. Too old to father more children that is. No, not like that. The guy is only 41, and with medicine being what it is he could have the means for years and years. It's not the making of the babies that he's over, but the wear and tear that goes into raising them.

When asked about the possibility of more kids, McDreamy says, "We've discussed it, but we're too old for that. I'll be like, 65, and still changing diapers- I can't do that!"

Dempsey and his wife Jill have 3 children.

*BTW, we saw Enchanted yesterday. It's quite good. I know you care what I think.

Chandra Wilson of Grey's Anatomy fame attended the premiere of Disney's Enchanted with her daughters Joy and Serena.

I hear it's quite good, and the girls seem to agree. Ah, the perks of working for ABC.

Brooke Burke is Enchanted

A pregnant Brooke Burke took her oldest daughter Neriah to the premiere of Disney's new movie "Enchanted." I'd say they were.

The movie actually looks pretty cute. I just don't know if my kids can sit through the non-animated portion of the film. We'll see.
