Father Of The Year Indeed: These 13 Celebrity Dads Make Fatherhood Look Like A Breeze

No one has to tell us that when we become dads, our lives are forever changed. We politely smile as well-meaning people try to prepare us for fatherhood by saying, "Say goodbye to your social life!" or "Get plenty of sleep now because you won’t later." Sure, there is some truth to their advice, but there\'s also a bright side to the mental and physical changes you go through after becoming a parent.

Most guys need their space - some time to recharge. Once you\'re a dad, you have to be creative to get some energy back into your life. You may have to wake up 30 minutes earlier for work or partner up with your wife to help each other out. Designating time for yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential. Just look at how these celebrity dads make time for their kids. They take them along to movie screenings, play some catch on set or maybe even take them to the next movie they\'re filming. However, if you\'re Jaden Smith, you\'ll star in a movie alongside your dad.

The good news is, new dads end up becoming friends with other dads! That\'s right--just like how mom has her book club meetings or spa days out with the girls, we have guy time. You have people that relate to you. Some of the kids are right around the same age so playdates are essential too. There\'s a whirlwind of opportunities when it comes to being a dad. Nothing beats winning "Father of the Year" in your kids eyes. No paternity test needed here!
