Just in time for Father’s Day, here’s the companion list to last week’s 50 Coolest Celebrity Moms. And of course, you can check in with all the celebrity parents you love (and love to hate) every day at FameCrawler. – Catherine Connors
50. Ben Stiller
Because even though I've never been a super-big fan of his movies — Starsky
and Hutch really should never have been made — he's indisputably
funny,
and I just can't help imagining him pulling a Derek Zoolander with his kids
and teaching them the fine art of the Blue Steel pose.
49. Snoop Dogg
Because he’s confusing in the most interesting ways. Is he a bad-ass rapper? Is he a family man? Is he an urban cowboy with a talent for slipper design and ambitions to write childrens’ books? He is an enigma, wrapped in a contradiction, and you gotta love that.
48. Guy Ritchie
Because he shares parenting duties with Madonna, and that can’t be easy. How many men out there have to defend the size of their balls against those of the mother of their children? He gets points just for trying.
47. Christian Bale
Because he’s Batman, and the new Terminator, and is there really anything cooler than a dad who’s both a superhero and a cyborg?
46. Matt Damon
Because he somehow managed to pull off being both sexiest man of the year and a live-action version of Ned Flanders and make the two seem totally compatible.
45. Patrick Dempsey
Because even though he’s a pretty big star, he is still every inch the Geeky Dad in day-to-day life.
44. David Beckham
Because he’s a world-class soccer player who tattoos his kids’ names on his back. So what if he married a Spice Girl? He’s David Beckham; he can do whatever he wants.
43. Brad Pitt
Because, as a couple, he and Angelina really do seem committed to saving the world through globally inclusive parenting, and also because you almost never see an off-red-carpet picture of him without a kid on his shoulders. Who’d have thought that Tyler Durden would ever become a serious contender for Father of the Year?
42. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Because big strong tough-guy men with perpetual scowls on their faces look adorable with teeny weeny babies in their arms.
41. David Boreanaz
Because he made the transition from 500-year-old vampire-with-a-soul to onscreen cop and doting father without losing an ounce of broodiness.
