On Sunday, celebrities took to social media to pay tribute to the dads and father figures in their lives. Famous personalities filled the internet with lots of love for the male figures who made them and molded them into the individuals they are today.
Kevin Hart took the celebrations further to honor other great dads on his Facebook page with a caption that read in part, “Nothing better than being a father…I love everything about it.” Hart went on to post touching images of other fathers in his social circle, and here’s a roundup of some of the dads who are featured in Hart’s myriad of posts honoring dads.
Adam Sandler
Adam Richard Sandler is famous for his portrayal of juvenile but endearing characters in movies and ranks among the top comedians in the country.
Sandler and Hart starred in one movie together in 2014, Top Five, which follows a comedian from New York who has to face his past and comedic career while interviewing with a journalist.
In a post to “more amazing fathers,” Hart posted a picture of Sandler with his wife and two daughters. Sandler has been praised in the past for being a hands-on parent who loves to entertain his kids.
Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx, born Eric Marlon Bishop, is popular for his parodies on the TV sketch-comedy series In Living Color. Foxx did not grow up with his biological parents and he was only seven months old when his parents took off. However, a few decades later, Jamie became a parent and he counts his two daughters as his greatest accomplishments. Kevin Hart did not let the chance to honor Jamie’s parenting efforts pass.
John Legend
Despite having a busy schedule between his flourishing music career and family life, John Legend makes parenting seem effortless. He is a great father to his two children with Chrissy Teigen, something Kevin Hart honored in his Father’s Day post.
In an exclusive talk with POPSUGAR, Chrissy praised her husband, saying that she was always in admiration of how great of a husband and a father John Legend is – he seems to be natural at it.
Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant died being a great dad to his four kids.
Being a father had been the most important aspect of Kobe’s life, even more than winning his five NBA championships and rising to fame globally. Kevin Hart took to Facebook to honor Kobe’s legacy of great fatherhood that has left an eminent example to other fathers of girls.
Kobe loved being a father to his girls, and he was remembered for being a dedicated father to his kids, including the late Gianna.
Mark Wahlberg
Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg is no stranger to the screen.
The talented American actor and producer is a respected artist with a killer sense of humor. Hart and Wahlberg have been goliaths of the silver screen for years, and Wahlberg said he would gladly take a pay cut to work with Kevin Hart in a movie, among other actors.
Hart took the opportunity to celebrate Mark, a proud father of four, and an A-list actor who still creates time for special events with his kids, as witnessed when he attended a father-daughter dance with his youngest daughter, Grace.
Usher Raymond
Having not had a dad was not a reason for Usher Terry Raymond IV to be a good father to his two kids. Usher believes he was born to be a father and Kevin Hart shared a post to honor Usher as an amazing dad.
Usher, the popular and talented American musician and rapper, identifies himself as a father first before anything else. His sons are his priority and Usher is always amazed at how happy he feels just to be spending time with his brood.
Will Ferrell
John William Ferrell is a gifted American actor, writer, producer, and businessman. He made his major unveiling as Steve Butabi, one of the remarkably clueless brothers, in ‘A Night At The Roxbury.’
Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart have a long history of working together in the film industry, including starring together in Get Hard. Along with that, Hart honored Will for being a great father to three sons with Swedish actress Viveca Paulin.
Ferrell’s kids do not think their dad is funny but they appreciate his humor nonetheless. Ferrell, on the other hand, enjoys spending time with his boys who make him laugh every single day with the way they view the world.
