When it comes to parenting, the common notion is that dads take the back seat, and itâs the moms who get their hands dirty. But these celebrity dads show us how they can be actively involved in raising their children despite their busy schedules and their on-screen macho image. I asked some moms (and dads too) who their favorite celebrity dads are, and hereâs what came up!
Dave Grohl
Foo Fighters Rockstar, Dave Grohl shows us how one can live the head banging, long-haired lifestyle while still being a great father to his daughters. In one of his interviews, he said âWhen you have a kid, it opens up all these new channels of emotion and perspectiveâ. He also got his inspiration for his two-part documentary, Play, from his kids, which is about how kids are taught music.
Doug Kramer
Who would not know this tall man who is not only making his mark in the hard court, but also on the Internet? Just by looking at his Instagram account @dougkramer (which has 1.3M followers by the way!), you can already tell how cool and sweet he is not only as a dad but also as a husband to Cheska. Youâll see photos and videos of him playing board games with his family, dating his kids, going on vacation with them, or simply just goofing around!
Dwayne Johnson
This is one tough guy whoâs taking fatherhood seriously. Dwayne Johnson (@therock) is a father to three lovely girls. When his daughter Jasmine was born in 2016, he posted a photo with the caption, âGive me the strength to be a better man today than yesterday. If I can accomplish that, then Iâd have a good shot at being a great father.â Now do I hear you say, âAwwwwâ? Yes, and it doesnât stop there. He continues to be ever supportive to all his daughters, including his teenager Simone. Though his Instagram feed is full of all sorts of stuff, like his workouts, projects and movies, youâll never miss those colorful and lively ones that are of him and his kids â on Christmas morning, blowing candles on his birthday cake, hunting for easter eggs, and more.
Chris Hemsworth
Hereâs another toughie dad many women adore! Just by doing a quick search of his name, youâll see many photos and articles not just on his role as Thor, but also how he is nailing it as a great dad. In his @chrishemsworth and his partnerâs @elsapatakyconfidential Instagram accounts, youâll find many of these picture-perfect moments camping, fishing, going on the set together and even getting his hands dirty preparing snacks or even a birthday cake!
Drew Arellano
Last but not least is our very own local artist and fitness buff, Drew Arellano. Who would ever forget his Instagram stories videos and photos that went viral, when he got off the van in the middle of the heavy traffic in EDSA to literally run home! He wanted to make sure he catches his son Primo before he goes to bed, and when he finally made it, the delight in his sonâs reaction is priceless! Oh, the things you do for your kid!
