40. Vin Diesel
See entry for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (no. 43)
39. Tim Burton
Because if "cool" in a parent is defined according to a lack of concern with what other people think — and, perhaps, access to Johnny Depp — Tim Burton has got to be one of the coolest parents ever.
38. Eminem
An odd choice, maybe, given all those songs in which he curses out the mother of his daughter. But for every one of those songs, there’re two that parse the challenges of fatherhood and the intensity of his love for his kids, and that’s pretty great.
37. Colin Farrell
Because I’d bet a half dozen pints of Guinness that fatherhood hasn’t made him any less likely to be able to drink men twice his size under the table.
36. Naveen Andrews
Because he’s one of the best characters on one of the best TV shows in the history of the universe, ever, and his kids are gonna be mad proud of that someday.
35. Chris Noth
Because he’s Mr. Big. Do I need a better reason than that?
34. Tobey Maguire
Because having Spiderman as a dad is just as cool, if not more cool, than having Batman for a dad.
33. Harrison Ford
Because you gotta give a guy props for being able to crack a whip, defeat bad guys, find hidden treasure and sling small children around as a step-parent in his AARP years.
32. David Letterman
Because becoming a father didn’t soften his edges any more than heart surgery did.
31. Hugh Jackman
Because when he tosses his kids in the air, you just know that he’s gonna catch them.
