The Sexy Dad: There's really no other way of putting it. Brad Pitt is one of the most gorgeous men in the world, and with six children, he's also one of the most selfless and caring. Age, kids and weird facial hair decisions do not seem to deter him from his ultimate path in life: being the sexiest man alive. 

The Designer Dad: No one epitomizes American glamour more than Ralph Lauren, and he brought that style and grace to raising his three children Dylan, David and Andrew. Dylan, as you may know, owns the best candy store in the world, and the other two are dapper gents in their own right. It shouldn't come as any surprise that the man responsible for Polo can do no wrong. 

The Athletic Dad: The proud father of three sons and one daughter, soccer icon David Beckham is one of the most debonair dads out there. He and wife Victoria Beckham (who we have difficulty not referring [...]

The Athletic Dad: The proud father of three sons and one daughter, soccer icon David Beckham is one of the most debonair dads out there. He and wife Victoria Beckham (who we have difficulty not referring to as "Posh") are one of Hollywood's most stable and loving families. 

The Doting Dad: New father Jay-Z is absolutely obsessed with his adorable daughter Blue Ivy (his first child with wife Beyonce). He even recorded a song for the little tyke. (Ed. note: If any celebrities [...]

The Surprisingly Devoted Dad: Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Scott Disick may be better known for his partying in Vegas than changing diapers, but it turns out that he's been an incredibly devoted [...]

The Surprisingly Devoted Dad: Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Scott Disick may be better known for his partying in Vegas than changing diapers, but it turns out that he's been an incredibly devoted father of his son, Mason. And that's good news -- because his girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian has another one on the way! 

The Rock Star Dad: Lenny Kravitz is a legendary rock star and the proud father of the gorgeous hipster fashionista Zoe Kravitz. We can't imagine how awesome it was to grow up with him as a father. 

The Family Man Dad: Boston-bred hunk Matt Damon finally settled down with cocktail waitress Luciana Barroso and many thought it wouldn't last. However, they are still going strong with four kids in their [...]

The Family Man Dad: Boston-bred hunk Matt Damon finally settled down with cocktail waitress Luciana Barroso and many thought it wouldn't last. However, they are still going strong with four kids in their household. He rarely hits the scene without his family in tow, and that's yet another reason to love him. 

The Emo Dad: Imagine, for a moment, growing up with your father wearing "guyliner" and writing dramatic lyrics about break-ups. That's the fate of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson's son, Bronx Mowgli. [...]

The Emo Dad: Imagine, for a moment, growing up with your father wearing "guyliner" and writing dramatic lyrics about break-ups. That's the fate of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson's son, Bronx Mowgli. Although Pete and Ashlee are now divorced and she retains primary custody, we can only imagine plenty of Hot Topic will still make it into little Bronx's wardrobe. 

The Hippie Dad: Matthew McConaughey lived in a strange eco-friendly trailer even after he became a multimillionaire. He also hated wearing shoes. But he also happens a great father to his two children [...]

Happy Father’s Day weekend to all you dads out there! This Sunday, you can finally put all your responsibilities aside and just celebrate you. And if you’re someone’s son or daughter, make sure they know how proud you are to call them a parent.

As we grow up, there’s something we all learn: fathers are all different. While your dad may have been all about teaching you how to play basketball, your friend’s dad may have wanted to make sure your friend was the best at knitting. (Okay, we’re not too sure how many dads are into knitting, but hey, we all have our things.)

When it comes to celebrities, the same rules apply: no two dads are the same. There are the celebrities that you’d never expect to be parents, but who manage to have a brood trailing them wherever they go; then there are other celebrities who seem to treat their children as accessories rather than people.

Here, we break down the 10 basic archetypes of celebrity dads you’re likely to read about in the latest weekly tabloids on the newsstand. Which category do your favorite stars fit under?
