How the Celebs Celebrated Father’s Day
In case you missed the influx of Instagram Story posts, yesterday was Father’s Day. If you forgot to post your own (sorry, Dad!), there’s always next year.
It’ll be tough, though, to top Oprah Winfrey’s tribute: “My father is the root of all my successes. Personal. Physical. Financial. Because he understood intrinsically that fathering is a verb. It requires action, And acting like the child you’re raising.” But you can always post a never-before-seen photo like Jennifer Garner did to wish Ben Affleck a happy Father’s Day or take a page from the royal Father’s Day celebration by Prince William and Kate Middleton. Or you can admire any number of the celebrity dads who honored themselves, like Justin Timberlake, who posted, “There’s no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father,” along with a few rare photos of his sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4. Wow, maybe it was never about the yearly pair of socks and brunch reservation.
Below, some more inspiring Father’s Day messages from the rich and famous. Please enjoy, judge, or save to copy next year; we won’t tell.
Happy Father’s Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L ????
