Celebrate Father’s Day with these hot celebrity dads!

In honor of Father’s Day today, I wanted to share with you this small list of my favorite celebrity dads! There is a nice combination of hunky, dedicated, and talented guys who I am sure you all love as much as I do.

To all of you who made the list, we honor you today and everyday.

Be aware that this list is not in any particular order, I just tried to categorize the best way possible. If you don’t see your favorite daddy here or you completely agree with my list, feel free to chime in below.

TV/Movie Hunks:
Yes some of these guys have played as many baddies as goodies, we have a vampire, a serial killer, a trio of doctors, some Heroes, and even some Sex and the City hunks!

Why we love Chris Gorham:
Not only did he receive more votes than any other star on this list but I had the chance to hang out with him this week and fell in love! We love him even more for marrying a breathtaking Latina, Anel Lopez Gorham. Together they have three children together, Lucas, Ethan, and baby Alondra Cecilia.

Yes he was a serial killer on Harper’s Island but I assure you he has no bad bone in his body. Though his arms, were pretty bad azz!

Chris stars in the new USA show, Covert Affairs which premieres on July 13th.

Screen Actor’s Guild Award winner Peter Gallagher was nominated by fellow hottie dad (and his Covert Affairs co-star) Chris Gorham. I have personally adored Mr. Gallagher since seeing him in While You Were Sleeping in 1995.

Peter and his wife Paula have two children, James and Kathryn.

Why we love Hugh Jackman:
As one of the most active dads on the block, Hugh Jackman not only holds the title of “Sexiest Man Alive” but now as one of the hottest celebrity dads in the universe!

When he is not at work, you can usually find him with his daughter Ava clinging to his neck or even scooting around New York’s West Village or some other fabulous destination! His wife Deborra-Lee and son Oscar are never to far away.

Australian stud Russell Crowe has made us happy this year by being out in the public eye a lot more. Not wanting his wife Danielle and their boys Charlie and Tennyson too far away, he took them while promoting his new movie, Robin Hood.

Is it wrong that I wish them to welcome a daughter some day? How cute would Crowe look with a little girl in his arms?

Why we love Johnny Depp:
Johnny Depp is one of those people that you don’t even need to explain why you love so much. He is one of the biggest stars in the world yet so humble and gracious to all his fans.

He is the proud father of Lily Rose and Jack and partner of French beauty Vanessa Paradis.

One of Latin America’s biggest Hollywood stars, Andy Garcia will forever be one of my favorite celebrities. A native son of Cuba, Mr. Garcia has starred in countless movies and is now a director.

He married Marivi Lorido Garcia and they have four children: actress Dominik Garcia-Lorido, Daniella, Alessandra and Andres.

Why we love Tom Hanks:
He started off as a cross dressing tv star and is now Hollywood royalty. Tom Hanks has a total of four children, son Colin Hanks (also an actor) and daughter Elizabeth Ann from his first marriage and two children chester and Truman with wife Rita Wilson.

Why we love Robert Downey Jr.:
A big screen staple since the 80′s Robert Downey Jr. seems to get even better looking the older he gets! The star of Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes is married to Susan Downey.

RDJ’s son Indio Falconer Downey, shown in an early photograph above is now seventeen years old.

Why we love Jude Law:
Stage and screen actor Jude Law is surrounded by his children at just about every chance he gets. He had three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost, son Rafferty, daughter Iris and son Rudy.

Law also fathered a daughter named Sophia during a brief relationship.

Why we love Mark Wahlberg:
Baby making machine Mark Wahlberg seems to enjoy making babies! He and his wife Rhea Durham have four children together including daughters Ella Rae and Grace Margaret and sons Michael and Brendan Joseph.

The reformed bad boy has said numerous times that he wants a large family.

Why we love Will Smith:
We will admit to loving Will Smith since even before his days on The Fresh Prince of Belair. I owned casettes (YES CASETTES!) of his music with DJ Jazzy Jeff!

He has been happily married to Jada Pinkett-Smith and they have two children, Jaden Christopher Syre and Willow Camille Reign. Both children have already co-starred with dad in a major film.

Smith has a son named Willard Christopher Smith III from his first marriage.

Big Willie Style!

Why we love Tom Cruise:
When you think of the classic Hollywood actors of our time, Tom Cruise always will jump to the top of the list. At 47-years-old, the actor looks as hot as he did back in his Top Gun/risky business days!

He is dad to three children, Connor and Isabella with ex-wife Nicole Kidman and Suri with current wife Katie Holmes.

As the star of the CBS hit The Mentalist, we get to drool over Simon Baker on a constant basis. Our favorite thing about this Australian hunk is how dedicated he is to his family.

Baker is married to actress Rebecca Rigg and they have three children: Stella Breeze, Claude Blue, and Harry Friday.

Present and Past doctors:

Why we love Patrick Dempsey:
Having also met Patrick Dempsey this year, I can easily say he is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. The picture above is a little old but it shows the Grey’s Anatomy star with his wife Jillian, his daughter Talula Fyfe, and twin sons Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick.

Yes I told him I loved him since “Can’t Buy me Love.” His response: “I love you too!”

Why we love Hugh Laurie:
A much loved actor on both sides of the pond, Hugh Laurie is most definitely a hot dad! He has been married to Jo Green since 1989 and they have three children Charles “Charlie” Archibald (photo above), William “Bill” Albert,and daughter Rebecca Augusta.

The only thing I would change about his character Dr. Gregory House is that he’d have Hugh’s natural British accent.

So sexy!

Why we love Taye Diggs:
Besides that gorgeous body, Taye Diggs has been pulling on our heart strings since starring in the romantic comedy The Best Man in 1999.

He is married to theater star Idina Menzel and they have an adorable baby boy named Walker Nathaniel Diggs.

Sex and the City studs:

Why we love Chris Noth:
He might be Mr. Big to Sex and the City fans but to two year old Orion Christopher Noth he is just ‘dad.” Noth met his fiancée Tara Lynn Wilson when she worked at his club The Cutting Room in New York City.

One of the newest dads on the list, Willie Garson is having the time of his life with son Nathen. Garson, who claims to have been unlucky in love, knew Nathen was meant to be his son, after seeing him at an L.A. adoption fair in Oct. 2008.

His adoption was finalized in January, and Garson could not be happier.

Catch Willie on the USA Network tv show, White Collar when season two premieres on July 13th.

Why we love Gilles Marini:
Before Gilles Marini danced into the hearts of America on Dancing with the Stars, he was the naked Frenchman in the first Sex and the City movie.

Throughout his time on the dance competition though, you could spot his supportive wife Carole cheering him on. The couple have two children a son, Georges, and a daughter, Juliana.

I saw him at the Sex and the City 2 premiere and I can assure this man is even HOTTER in person!

Heroes daddies;

Why we love Adrian Pasdar:
While many knew Adrian Pasdar from his days in Top Gun and Profit, many of us fell for him when he became Nathan Petrelli on the NBC show Heroes. The high flying actor is married to the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, Natalie Maines and they have two sons Jackson Slade and Beckett Finn.

They should have focused on saving the politician to save the world!

Why we love Greg Grunberg:

This hardworking Hollywood actor is one of the most devoted dads on Earth. Grunny not only is an amazing actor but he makes sure to find creative ways to help bring awareness to epilepsy.

His son Jake, who has the the neurological disorder, is pictured above. He and his wife Elizabeth have two other boys, Sam and Ben.

Up next for the former Heroes star, a role on the NBC show Love Bites.

Why we love Jimmy Jean Louis:
You may remember Jimmy in his role on Heroes as The Haitian. But did you know that he is a real life hero for the people in his native Haiti?

He recently received the Humanitarian Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in helping create awareness, raising money, and rallying celebrities and fans to the cause.

With him in the photo are his wife Evelyn and their children Jasmine and Thevi.

Why we love Stephen Moyer:
One of the men to bring sexy to the vampire genre for adults, Stephen Moyer is also hot papi to two children. The star of True Blood is often seen with his fiance Anna Paquin and his daughter Lilac and son Billy.

We wanna do bad things to you!!

Sporty Hunk:
Why we love David Beckham:
If I sat here and wrote all the things I love about David Beckham, this article would end up a lot longer than it already has!

The British footballer is married to Victoria Beckham and they have three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

musical Hunks:
Why we love Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement:

The HBO show Flight of the Conchords might be over but the heart behind the story lives on! Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement both are happily hitched and have one child each.

Clement, a son named Sophocles Iraia and McKenzie a daughter, Vita.

Is it wrong to hope their kids marry each other one day?
