50 Coolest Celebrity Dads
Meet the regulars at our fantasy playground.

30. Seal
Because Heidi Klum told the world that she wanted to bear his children after seeing him in a pair of bicycle shorts, and it occurred to nobody to mock him for, you know, wearing bicycle shorts in front of Heidi Klum.
29. Travis Barker
A rock-star drummer with more tattoos than David Beckham, his own reality show and his own fish taco joint. It doesn’t get much more bad-ass than that.
28. David Arquette
Because I’m willing to bet that he’s more fun on a playdate than Courtney Cox.
27. Matthew Fox
Because I’m guessing that even though he tends to play characters with destructive hero complexes, he’s probably one of those super-grounded dads who spends a lot of time playing softball with his kids.
26. Will Smith
Because he’s probably the biggest star in Hollywood and yet has still managed to avoid a) divorce, and b) Scientology, neither of which is an easy feat.
25. Ben Affleck
Because he redeemed himself for the Gigli years by directing the not-suitable-for-viewing-by-parents Gone Baby Gone, and because he spawned one of the cutest little girls that celebrityland has ever seen. And because if Jennifer Garner likes him, so do I.
24. Adam Sandler
Because you don’t mess with the Zohan.
23. Clive Owen
Because given the chance to talk with Playboy about his sex appeal, he chose to gush about his wife and daughters, which, in my opinion, sends his sex appeal through the roof.
22. Willie Garson
Because the Sex and the City actor was more tenacious in pursuit of his adoption dreams than Carrie ever was in pursuit of the perfect Manolo.
21. Gavin Rossdale
A rock star spawning offspring with another rock star — it’s tempting to joke that the Stefani-Rossdale clan could start their own band, but they are, of course, too cool for that.
