Hollywood's Hottest Dads

Aren’t the men of Hollywood just so handsome? Some of them could sizzle an egg on their abs, while others have a personality that makes us melt. Don’t even get me started on their voice. To top it all off, they’re super talented, and some are even incredibly intelligent! They’re the total package, but we’re still forgetting something that’s pretty important for a guy.

While we see the sexy side of them through their career, some spend their off-time changing diapers and teaching their kids what’s right and wrong. Being a father isn’t an easy job, but these are some guys that do a fantastic job of it. They’re talented, super hot, and fabulous dads to boot. Sometimes life gives you lemons, but sometimes they give you these hunks.

Sure, they’re out of arm's reach, but that doesn’t mean we can’t admire them from afar. We’ve gathered a list of the hottest dads that Hollywood has to offer. They prove that you can be a red-carpet actor while being a great dad. You may be surprised some of these men even have children!

Click “Let’s Begin” to start the slideshow. Did we forget anyone that you think should have made the list?

Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth is a bona fide Hollywood superstar. He's got the looks, the talent, and the bankable name. And with his role as Thor, he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. Unfortunately, for all the single ladies out there, Chris is already taken. He settled down with Spanish actress Elsa Pataky in 2010, and they've been together ever since.

The happy couple has three children: daughter India Rose and twin sons Tristan and Sasha. While Chris loves playing Thor on the big screen, it seems he's just as happy playing "Dad" at home. And we can't say we blame him. Those kids are adorable! Who wouldn't want to spend their days hanging out with them? We're just glad Chris is happy, and we hope he continues to enjoy success in both his personal and professional life.

Idris Elba

Idris Elba

I'm sure that Idris Elba's kids, Winston and Kim, couldn't care less that their dad is hot. But it's mighty important to his throng of adoring female fans. Both children are from previous relationships. And while they may not appreciate just how lucky they are to have such a smoking-hot father, we certainly do. We can't help but drool over Idris Elba whenever he's onscreen.

Whether he's playing the suave Stringer Bell on The Wire or the ruggedly handsome Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Idris Elba always looks like a million bucks. But his sexiest role by far is that of a devoted father. There's nothing hotter than a man who loves and cares for his children. So even though Winston and Kim may not be impressed by their dad's good looks, we most definitely are. Thanks for blessing the world with your hotness, Idris! We appreciate it immensely.

Colin Farrell

Colin Farrell

We all know the type: the bad boy. He's the one who's a little bit too wild, a little bit too unpredictable. We can't help but be drawn to them, even though we know we probably shouldn't be. And then there's Colin Farrell: the ultimate bad boy turned good guy. He entered the Hollywood scene as a young up-and-comer with a rebellious streak and quickly became known for his wild antics both on and off-screen.

But in recent years, Colin has toned things down significantly. And he credits fatherhood as the driving force behind his transformation. Since becoming a father in 2003, Colin has been much more mindful of his choices and has worked hard to be a role model for his kids. He even entered rehab in 2005 in order to get clean and sober. We love Colin Farrell not only because he's a great actor but also because he's a great dad. And that's pretty darn attractive.

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr.

We all know that Robert Downey Jr. is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood. He's got the whole package: looks, talent, and charisma. But did you know that he's also a daddy? He has three kids, two of whom are sons named Indio and Exton. His daughter's name is Avri. While Indio was the child of his relationship with Deborah Falconer, Exton and Avri are the children between him and the love of his life, Susan Downey.

Talk about a guy who's got it all! So the next time you're drooling over Robert Downey Jr. on the big screen, just remember that he's also a devoted father and husband. You might not be able to have him, but at least you can appreciate him from afar!

Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa is one of those guys who just oozes sex appeal. Seriously, the man looks like he was carved out of stone. And his long, flowing locks? They just add to the whole "ultimate fantasy" thing he's got going on. But what really makes Momoa a total babe is his off-the-charts confidence. The guy knows he's hot stuff, and he doesn't try to hide it. In fact, he seems to revel in it.

And we are here for it because let's be honest, there's nothing hotter than a man who is comfortable in his own (ridiculously good-looking) skin. Momoa is also lucky enough to be married to the equally gorgeous Lisa Bonet. The couple have two kids together, Lola and Nakoa, and they seem to be living their best lives. We're not sure what Bonet sees in Momoa, but we're pretty sure we're jealous of her luck. All we can say is, she better watch out, or we might just steal him away!

Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck

Being a good parent isn’t easy. Just ask Ben Affleck. The Hollywood actor and director has been in the public eye for over two decades, and he’s no stranger to scrutiny. But despite the challenges of life in the spotlight, Affleck has consistently shown himself to be an amazing father. He and his wife, Jennifer Garner, married in 2005 and have three children together, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.

The two didn’t quite work out as he split with her to marry Jennifer Lopez in 2022. However, he’s still working hard to be a great father. In an interview with People magazine, Affleck said, “my life is better, and I am happier the more I am around my kids.” It’s clear that, for Affleck, being a father is one of the most important roles he’ll ever play.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, and he is also known for being a great father. He has six children, three of whom are adopted. Brad is very involved in his children's lives and is always looking for ways to spend time with them. He is also a very hands-on father and is often seen taking them to the park or on playdates.

In addition to being a great father, Brad Pitt is also considered to be one of the sexiest men alive. He regularly appears on lists of the hottest celebrities, and his fans can't get enough of his good looks. Whether he's at the beach or on the red carpet, Brad Pitt always manages to look absolutely fabulous.

Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp

Depp hasn't had a lot of good press lately (following the split and lawsuit between himself and Amber Heard). However, fatherhood suits Johnny Depp. The quirky actor has always been something of a child at heart. He's also really hot, which is an added bonus. Depp's good looks certainly don't hurt his cause when it comes to fatherhood.

In fact, they may even be a bit of an advantage. After all, who wouldn't want to be the father of a gorgeous Hollywood star? His relationship with his kids was reportedly strained during his stint with Amber Heard, but his kids choosing to defend their father says volumes. 

Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey

Anyone who's ever seen Matthew McConaughey on screen knows that he's got charisma for days. He just exudes charm and goodness, making it impossible not to root for him no matter what role he's playing. So it should come as no surprise that he's also an amazing father to his three young children. McConaughey is incredibly hands-on with his kids. Early in their relationship, he and Camila agreed that where he would go, they would go.

He's also not afraid to show his softer side in public, thanking his wife and children in every acceptance speech he gives. In today's Hollywood landscape, it's refreshing to see a male actor who isn't afraid to show his emotions. McConaughey is setting a great example for other fathers out there, and we can all learn a lot from him. Thanks, Matthew!

Josh Duhamel

Josh Duhamel

We all know that Josh Duhamel is one good-looking dude. I mean, have you seen that man? He’s got the whole tall and handsome thing going on. And that stare! It could melt the butter right off of your toast. But did you know that he’s also an amazing father? He and his ex-wife, Fergie, have an adorable son named Axl.

And Josh is absolutely smitten with him. Just look at how he lights up when he talks about his son or posts pictures with him. There’s nothing more attractive than a man who is over the moon for his child. It just goes to show that there’s more to Josh than meets the eye. He’s not just a pretty face – he’s also a fantastic father.

John Legend

John Legend

It’s no secret that John Legend is a good-looking guy. I mean, just look at him! He’s got the whole package: the chiseled jawline, the smoldering eyes, the killer smile. It’s no wonder he’s been voted one of the sexiest men alive. But what you may not know is that John Legend is also a dad. Yes, that’s right, the sexy singer-turned-heartthrob is also a father.

He and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, have three children together: Miles, Luna, and a baby that has yet to be born.  And while he may have only been a dad since 2016, he’s already proven that he’s got what it takes to be a great one. Just take a look at these adorable photos of him with his kids and try not to fall in love. Trust me, it’s impossible.

Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan is the epitome of a modern-day James Bond. He's got the good looks, the charm, and the suave demeanor to pull off the iconic role. But what many people don't know about Brosnan is that he's also a family man. The actor has a total of five kids, two of which were adopted from his first wife's previous relationship, one with his first wife, and two with his second wife.

Brosnan is very involved in each child's life and is photographed with them out and about frequently. Even in his sixties, Brosnan can still make all the ladies swoon with that smolder. So whether he's playing 007 on the silver screen or just being a dad at the park, Pierce Brosnan always brings his A-game.

Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson

Sure, Dwayne Johnson is a hunky movie star with a rock-hard bod, but did you know that he's also a dad? Yep, this former wrestler and football player is now a father of three, and he seems to be nailing it. He has two daughters with his ex-wife, Dany Garcia, and one daughter with his current partner, Lauren Hashian.

And while Johnson is admittedly not the "stereotypical stay-at-home dad," he still makes sure to spend quality time with his girls. In fact, he even has a "Daddy-Daughter Day" once a week, where they spend time together. So whether he's smashing box office records or smashing daddy-daughter goals, one thing is for sure: Dwayne Johnson can do it all.

Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher is living the dream. He's got a beautiful wife, two adorable kids, and he's still as charming and good-looking as ever. In fact, some might say he's even more attractive now that he's a doting father. Not that anyone is surprised, of course. Kutcher has always been a bit of a heartthrob, and it was only a matter of time before he settled down and started a family.

But even though he's living the picture-perfect life, Kutcher doesn't take it for granted. He knows that being a husband and father is hard work, and he's grateful for every moment he gets to spend with his loved ones. After all, they're the ones who make his life truly meaningful.

Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds

This new daddy has been dropping jaws since the early 2000s (remember Van Wilder?). Ryan has played all kinds of characters, from hilarious to downright charming. After his marriage to Scarlett Johansson ended in 2011, he bounced back on his feet fairly quickly with his now-wife Blake Lively.

After marrying in 2012, they had their first child in December 2014. Although the couple was super secretive about their baby girl, James, we already know Ryan is a great dad. He recently stated that they kept her name a secret to protect her – and so she wouldn’t hold it against them when she’s a teenager. See? He’s already preparing. Dad of the year.

Will Smith

Will Smith

Will Smith has one son, Trey, from his first wife, Sheree Zampino, and two kids, Jaden and Willow, with his current wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Will has fully supported his children and their decisions to pursue careers in music and acting at such young ages. He even acted in a few movies with Jaden when he was young!

He’s a protective father and has come to his children's defense when they receive criticism from the press. His kids hit the jackpot not only with good genetics but also in the supportive dad department. They had a great supportive base when it came to Will. 

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake has made a permanent name for himself in both the music and film industries, and now, he can add fatherhood to his resume. He and longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel married in 2014 and welcomed their first child, Silas Randall Timberlake, into the world the following year.

He had already won us over with his comely boy-next-door looks, but now we can’t wait to see him toting little Silas around town. Recently, with his action movies, he's also gotten in good shape, so he definitely deserves his spot on this list.  Mr. JT, you got everything and more.

Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper is one of those rare actors who is not only good-looking and talented, but he also seems like a really nice guy. He's the kind of guy you could imagine taking care of his own kids and being a good father. In 2017, his then-girlfriend Irina Shayk gave birth to a daughter, Lea de Seine. Cooper must be doing something right because Shayk is a supermodel, and she seems to be very happy with him.

Even though he's busy with his movie career, he still finds time to be a great dad. He recently said in an interview that being a father is the best thing that ever happened to him. It's clear that Bradley Cooper is not only a talented actor, but he's also a great father. Thanks for being an inspiration, Bradley!

Dax Shepard

Dax Shepard

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell are one of Hollywood’s most attractive couples. They met in 2013 and have been together ever since. They have two beautiful daughters together, Lincoln and Delta. While it’s clear that Shepard’s good looks have been passed down to his kids, it’s also evident that Bell is equally as stunning.

In fact, the two could probably give each other a run for their money in a beauty contest. Thankfully, they seem to be more interested in spending time together as a family than competing with each other. And we’re sure that their kids are happy to have two equally gorgeous parents.

John Krasinski

John Krasinski

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Jim Halpert on our TV screens, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still out there living his life. In fact, he’s doing quite well for himself. He’s married to Emily Blunt, and they have two beautiful daughters — Hazel and Violet.

However, there are some fans of The Office who are still holding out hope that he’ll find his way back to Pam Beesly. Sorry to break it to you, but it looks like Jim is taken and appears to be completely happy with his family. So, you might as well accept it and move on. There are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Channing Tatum

Channing Tatum

One of the sexiest men in Hollywood is actually one of the hottest dads, too. Channing met his ex-wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum on the set of Step Up in 2006. They married in 2009, and then he shot into mega-stardom with his starring roles in 21 Jump Street and Magic Mike. Their daughter Everly was born in 2013, and he’s been working the hot dad angle ever since.

David Beckham

David Beckham

The gorgeous former professional soccer player is likely more famous for his chiseled jaw and rock-hard, tattooed body than he is for his skills on the field. He’s also famous for being married to a Spice Girl-member-turned-icy-fashion-designer, Victoria Beckham. They have three boys, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, and one girl, Harper. He’s often spotted out with at least one child, and he isn’t afraid to be candid about his family. There’s nothing not worth swooning over.
