If you are a famous and sought-after actor, then universal adoration for you is simply guaranteed. The exception, however, is your own children, because you need to be able to earn their respect and love. Therefore, the test of paternity is often more difficult than the test of fame. Fortunately, men who adore their offspring are found in Hollywood as well.

Tom Hanks

Incarnating the role of Forrest Gump and twice Oscar winner, Tom Hanks is also a father of many children. The actor has four children. Son Colin and daughter Elizabeth from their first marriage, as well as sons Chester and Truman from their second marriage to actress Rita Wilson. The celebrity couple recently celebrated their silver wedding. Already twice a grandfather, Hanks likes to repeat that the most important thing for him is his family and for the sake of the happiness of his children he is ready for anything. It is interesting that in the new comedy "Hologram for the King", which will be released on April 21, the actor just played the role of a loving father. To find money to educate his beloved daughter, his hero, a bankrupt businessman, decides to sell exclusive holographic technology to the king of Saudi Arabia. A caring dad bravely goes to a foreign country, not even imagining what adventures lie ahead of him.

Ryan Gosling

Actor Ryan Gosling knows firsthand how important a child's father's support is. His parents divorced when he was very young, and his mother raised the boy alone. Ryan and actress Eva Mendes still have one daughter, Esmeralda Amada Gosling, who is only one and a half years old, but the actor tries to devote all his free time to the baby. Gosling easily got used to the role of a father and loves to repeat that mastering parenting skills is not difficult at all. But this is not surprising, given how easily this Hollywood handsome man changes his role. So, in the action-packed comedy "Nicefellas", which starts at the box office on May 19, Gosling will appear not in the usual image of a hero-lover with pumped up abs, but as a clumsy private detective with a ridiculous mustache. Ironically, this idiot, along with his jock partner, will accidentally solve the crime of the century.

Russell Crowe

Crowe's sons, Charlie, 12, and Tennyson, 9, were lucky. In the face of their father, they always have before their eyes an example of a real man. And although the actor parted with the mother of the boys, he deals with his sons a lot and with pleasure. Russell Crowe lives on a farm and introduces children to horse riding and farming. On the topic of education, he can talk for hours, which he does not hide at all. By the way, it was Russell Crowe who played the role of the brutal partner of another exemplary dad Ryan Gosling in the movie "Nicefellas", in which the actor again has to clearly demonstrate his masculinity. His hero, a hired guard and bone breaker Jackson Healy, does not like to waste time on empty talk, he is used to solving problems quickly - exclusively with the help of fists.

Jason Sudeikis

In the new comedy of the rom-com classic Garry Marshall, which also stars Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Julia Roberts, Sudeikis is assigned the role of a single father raising two daughters. The film should be released in Russia on April 28, and its shooting took place just when the actor was just mastering the role of a parent. In real life, Jason and his partner Olivia Wilde have one child, and that boy too. Little Otis Alexander is not yet two years old, but he has already become a real celebrity, and all thanks to his comedian father. Jason Sudeikis loves to be ironic about fatherhood in comedy talk shows, where he is constantly invited. But in reality, he takes the upbringing of his son very seriously and tries to protect the boy from too close attention of the paparazzi.

Adam Sandler

The famous comedian is the perfect dad for his daughters, 9-year-old Sadie and 7-year-old Sunny. He is kind, caring and gentle. Sandler also adores animals and is actively trying to instill this love in his daughters. Now in the family of the actor lives an English bulldog named Matsbol, which in Russian means "matzo ball". Sandler says it's easy for him to find a language with his girls, because at heart he is still a child himself. According to the actor, fatherhood made him look at the world differently, taught him real responsibility and helped to separate the main from the secondary.

Matt Damon

The macho image, which already seems inseparable from this actor, has nothing to do with the real Matt Damon - a faithful husband and a loving and responsible father. The forty-five-year-old actor and his wife, Argentinean Luciana Barroso, have three common daughters. In addition, Damon adopted the wife's daughter from his first marriage. In his "female kingdom" the actor feels like a fish in water. At the same time, Matt believes that it is paternity that helps him avoid star fever. Indeed, for his daughters, he is not a star, but an ordinary earthly dad with all the advantages and disadvantages accompanying this "role".

Ben Affleck

The handsome actor does not hide - for him children always come first. Affleck has three of them - two daughters and a son. Last year, after ten years of marriage, the actor and his wife Jennifer Garner announced a divorce, but both stressed that they would do everything so that their breakup would affect the lives of their children as little as possible. Based on his own fatherly experience, Ben is convinced that little girls are very different from little boys. If the former can sit quietly and engage in a designer, for example, the latter need to constantly look for some kind of adventures and problems on the head of their parents. The actor likes to joke that the daughters have once again and very clearly demonstrated to him the perfection of women.

Chris Hemsworth

The sex symbol, which became super famous after "Thor" and "The Avengers", became famous also in the role of "crazy father", as he calls himself. When the beautiful wife Elsa gave birth to his daughter India Rose, Chris was so happy and intoxicated with the new status that on walks, his father carried his princess only in his arms, and his mother carried an empty stroller. In an interview with The Telegraph, he said: "I even like to change her diapers - like in a Formula 1 race, in a pit stop, 15 seconds - and she is back on the track." And when twins Sasha and Tristan were born in the family, Hemsworth admitted that only now he understood for sure - "why do I need life." And Hemsworth's favorite homework, he admits, is to wait for the children to come, hug and say that they love him. Even the mother-in-law, which, you must agree, is a great rarity, did not find any flaws in dad-Chris. "He is the best father" - this is her verdict. By the way, on April 14, the picture "Snow White and the Huntsman 2" was released with this charming guy.

Hugh Jackman

You don't have to have blood relatives to be a good father. Desire and a big loving heart is enough - Australian actor Hugh Jackman proved it. He and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness adopted two - Ava and Oscar. “I love them terribly,” says Wolverine. He takes the children to school, plays with them, plays sports and is completely lost in separation. That is why children often accompany Hugh on tour.
