Celebrity Dad Faceoff
By GlindaViggo Mortensen managed to eke out a victory over Clive Owen by a mere three percent of the popular vote. Clive almost managed to win, despite scandalous accusations that I was trying to fix the competition. Ah Clive, I shall miss those lovely green eyes of yours…
This week we tread a path not yet chosen here on Celebrity Dad Faceoff, although you had to know it was coming. Yes, that’s right, we’ve got a non-actor this week. Well, actually, I think this rocker has made a few cameos here and there in movies and whatnot, but his main calling is music. I have never really thought this week’s challenger was all that hot, but I know that there are many, many who will disagree with me. It must be a Jersey boy thing.
So, on with the show…

I thought you were supposed to be getting to better-looking men at each level. What happened? Neither of these guys is appealing.
June 6th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Oh, the Jersey Mullet King is going down! Although actually, he’s not a bad actor.
June 6th, 2008 at 10:23 am
You know what, Bon Jovi is considered pretty hot by a lot of people. Now the hottest of the hot, I’m not sure. And damn, it was hard fiding a good picture of him that wasn’t “staged.”
June 6th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Viggo by a mile! And class-factotum, you seriously need an eye exam!
June 6th, 2008 at 11:41 am
The Viggosphere has been awoken! Blood will be shed this day.
June 6th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Seriously, I am more than open to suggestions for future contestants! I can’t promise I will use them, but ideas are welcome!
June 6th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
How about Pierce Brosnan?
Or Paul Newman in his younger days. Although that’s probably stretching the rules a bit.
Tom Brady!
June 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
How about that guy in E.R., who was also in one of Madonna’s video….gawd I can’t remember his name.
Johnny Depp?
June 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
The blood, it is running in the streets.
This just might be the worst showing ever for a challenger.
June 6th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Oh, and PaperPusher, thanks for the suggestions! However, I have been saving Johhny Depp for fear that he will beat anybody I put up against him.
June 6th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
And let’s not forget Brad Pitt….
June 6th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Has the Sean Connery entered the lists yet?
June 6th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
How about Ben Browder? Slightly obscure, but if the Farscapians have their eyes open, he will definately put up a fight. You might also know him from Memphis Belle and Party of Five.
June 6th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Ginger: Sean Bean.
Tall, dark and handsome: Ben Affleck. Patrick Dempsey. Gabriel Byrne (swoon).
Short, dark and handsome: George Stephanopoulos.
Blond: LAIRD HAMILTON! (double swoon and multiple O’s)

Will Smith
June 6th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Bon Jovi never stood a chance. If you put Johnny Depp up there, I can’t imagine who might top him. Maybe I’m partial to surfers, but I second raincoaster’s suggestion for Laird Hamilton, and if Kelly Slater were a daddy, I’ll throw him in, too. What about Jack Johnson? Dave Grohl (not traditionally hot, but he’s got somethin’).
June 6th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Will Smith already went down, didn’t he? It’s the sticky-outy ears.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Hey! I’m standing up for Jon here! Since none of you are interested, you can certainly send him my way for a little comfort!
June 6th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
I shall certainly do so and may even remember to poke air holes in the cardboard box.
This got posted to Viggo-Works, and there just aren’t enough Jon Bon Jovi fans in the world to hold off that onslaught.

George Clooney. Antonio Banderas. Hugh Grant. Jason Taylor. Harrison Ford. Brendan Fraser. Hugh Laurie.
Or maybe adapt the criteria. Clark Gable as Rhett Butler vs Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. Cary Grant as (pick one. any one.) vs Cary Elwes as Westley. Paul Newman as Butch Cassidy vs Robert Redford as The Sundance Kid. Don’t let chronology get in your way.
But so far, I’m sticking with Hugh Jackman.
June 7th, 2008 at 1:54 am
George Clooney and Hugh Grant at least are not dads, at least, not that we or they know of. And of those fictional characters, only Rhett Butler was a dad, and he was an awful one. But it’s up to Glinda.
June 7th, 2008 at 7:04 am
How about Tiger Woods, Tedy Bruschi or Jason Taylor?
June 7th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Laird Hamilton, I’m telling you. You may not have heard of him, but you won’t forget him:

Unfortunately Adrian Paul is not a father, but would he qualify if he became my sugar daddy?

June 7th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Tyson Beckford (has a son) or Adrian Paul…
June 8th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Did we vote on Ryan Philipe yet? He’s a little baby-faced for me, but still very good looking. Also, I second Brenden Frasier, Laird Hamilton (yowzers!) and Antonio Banderas. And Gabriel Byrne, oh, Gabriel Byrne……
June 8th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
A suggestion .Why don’t let the big names come up?
Maybe someone like Depp or Brad Pitt would be a challenge.
If someone is unbeaten for a couple of weeks put him in your hall of fame for hot celeb dads or so and start over with fresh contestants.
June 9th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Or everybody who wins three weeks in a row moves into the playoffs?
June 10th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Brad Paisley (I checked on his dad cred).
But still. Hugh Jackman.
June 10th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Is is ackman all that big, though?
391 votes. What did I tell you about the Viggosphere?
June 11th, 2008 at 12:13 am
Has Matt Damon gone up yet?
June 11th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Nope, but at the moment he looks almost exactly like Ned Flanders for some role.
June 12th, 2008 at 12:41 am
Oh. Yuck.
