13 Celebrity Dads Who Are Hilariously Candid About Fatherhood On Social Media

Being a dad is a hard job. Dads love us, but they also have to take care of us and, at times, lose sleep over us. And occasionally the only thing that makes that exhausting job a little easier is a good sense of humor. Because if you can’t laugh about having to dress up in a giant Winnie the Pooh onesie in order to bring your kid trick-or-treating, what can you do?

In honor of Father's Day, we’re giving a little shoutout to these celebrity dads who aren't afraid to get real about fatherhood on Twitter and Instagram:

LOVE dressing my daughter in baby clothes. The itsy-bitsy pink pajamas. The tiny white socks. The black leather mask. Cuteness overload!

Totally caved and tossed my daughter the keys to the car. She looked really happy as they bounced off her tiny infant face.
