Hollywood's hottest dads

Brad Pitt Father to an ever-expanding brood of adopted and biological children, Brad adores his adopted children, Maddox, five, Pax, three, and Zahara, two, just as much as his biological daughter Shiloh, one.

“They’re as much of my blood as any natural born, and I’m theirs. I can’t live without them.”

Tom Cruise Tom, father of Suri, one (pictured), Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12, appreciates the chaos that comes with being a parent.

“When they come in and they mess up my work and I’m busy, they are just trying to help out, so I always say, ‘Thank you.’ That’s how I am with them and I find that they’re happier and I’m happier as a result.”

Hugh Jackman Aussie actor Hugh adopted Oscar, seven, and Ava, two (pictured), with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness.

“Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don’t get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying.”

Patrick Dempsey

McDreamy dad Patrick, pictured with Tallulah Fyfe, five, recently became a father to twin boys Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick.

“Fatherhood is the most important thing. Everything else is a joke.”

David Arquette David manages to juggle baby Coco and two dogs as he heads out to buy his wife Courteney Cox a bunch of flowers. What a man!

Seal Super-dad Seal is father to Henry, two, and Johan, nine months, his children with model Heidi Klum. He’s also a super-step-dad to three-year-old Leni, Heidi’s daughter from a previous relationship who he’s raised as his own since birth.

“We try to spend as much time as possible together. There are days we never get out of our pyjamas. We play with the kids in bed, watch TV, cook, hang out.”

Ben Affleck Ben’s priorities have changed since he and his wife Jennifer Garner became parents to Violet, 18 months.

“The only thing that matters to me is my daughter being able to be proud of her old man.”

(Perhaps he should hide his copy of Gigli then).

Chris Martin Pictured here with the apple of his eye — daughter Apple, three — Chris also has a one-year-old son, Moses.

Wife Gwyneth Paltrow says Chris is the one responsible for their daughter’s unusual name: “It was all his idea. I had nothing to do with it. He was probably drunk or something when he thought it up. But it fits now.”
