From Channing Tatum to Ben Affleck and Neil Patrick Harris, these celebrity dads sure are adorable.

Father's Day is up ahead and the best way we can think about celebrating - other than bringing daddy dearest out - is gushing over our favourite celebrity dads. There's something about men with their adorable kids that just instinctively garners a shower of 'awwws' from us. It's just something.

So who's your favourite celebrity father?

Rana - Editor-in-Chief

Matt Damon

"Matt Damon simply appeals to me in general. He is not the most handsome or hunkiest of actors but he certainly has a comforting charisma about him and the fact he seem like a doting dad makes him look even better in my eyes. Father to 4 girls - one of whom is his step daughter - he often expresses on how lucky he is to be 'surrounded by beautiful girls' at home. I would add, they must also be lucky to have him as he clearly puts his family first, gushes about his beautiful 'soulmate' wife and is never seen acting out of line."

Ben Affleck

"Honestly. I can't pinpoint a favourite. There's Ashton Kutcher who's endearingly protective over his little girl, Benedict Cumberbatch, the caring expectant father, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka with their adorable family time and Channing Tatum who's just a lovable human being. But if I had to pick one, I'd say Ben Affleck because he takes the time to be a part of her little girl's tea parties. Awwww."

Neil Patrick Harris

"As far as celebs go, few are as sassy, suave, and unapologetically true to themselves as Neil Patrick Harris is. It also helps that he’s incredibly talented, and being a theatre junkie I absolutely love his opening acts for the Tonys (and more recently the Oscars). So I imagine that he’ll totally be a cool dad - like Phil Dunphy in Modern Family - and so much fun to hang out with!"

Karen - Lifestyle & Food Writer

Neil Patrick Harris

"Probably Neil Patrick Harris because despite the backlash of having kids through surrogacy with his partner, he’s proving the naysayers wrong with his parenting skills. Also, props for his creative Halloween gear every year. Not many dads will actually go through the effort of celebrating Halloween let alone coordinating outfits with their kids. "

Syaz - Fashion & Beauty Writer

Channing Tatum

"Besides obvious reasons (have you looked at him?) what I love about Channing is that he's multi-talented! He's been a runway model, debuted in a dance movie as the male lead and breaks our hearts every single time in romantic films. He's also a family man and I love watching interviews that he does about his wife and daughter."
