For Hollywood's biggest stars, the greatest role in town is simply dad.
This Father's Day weekend, some men like Nick Jonas are celebrating the holiday for the first time as a parent. But for others like Tom Brady, Nick Lachey, Kevin Hart and Sean Lowe, this special time is another opportunity to be fully present with their kids who matter most.
"My dad always showed up," The Bachelor star exclusively recalled to E! News. "He didn't necessarily verbalize this, but he lived it out during my entire childhood. Whether it was a spelling bee, football game, awards ceremony or a call for help, my dad always showed up. Being present and supportive will make a much bigger impact on your child than material possessions ever could."
And while busy work schedules, financial pressure and other factors can make parenthood challenging, dads like Luke Bryan are quick to remind you that you don't need to be perfect to make a positive difference.
"Cut yourself some slack, because you're not always going to knock it out of the park," the country singer told E! News. "The important thing is being able to say you're sorry and learn from fatherhood each and every day."
With that mindset in mind, keep scrolling to see even more wisdom from Hollywood dads who deserve a round of applause for their efforts.
"My biggest fan was my dad and he was someone that encouraged me to never think that I couldn't accomplish something. I'd say to all the parents out there, don't ever tell your kids they can't do something. Whatever they think they can accomplish, go for it, and find something you love and work your ass off to make it happen. I think that would be a very fulfilling thing in life." —NFL quarterback and dad to Jack, Benjamin and Vivian, while promoting Hertz "Let's Go" campaign

"Time waits for nobody. My little family has grown. I'm a father of four and you look up one day and they're teenagers. It's something that you blink and it just changes.

You'll never really understand it until you get to a certain point where you look back at it and just go wow." —Celebrity Game Face host and dad to Heaven, Hendrix, Kenzo and Kaori
"The main thing my father told us is be kind to the people on the way up because on the rocky moments on the way down, they'll be there for you.

We try to take advantage of that to really show how appreciative we are." —Jonas Brothers member and dad to Malti, while speaking at Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation's charity boxing night

One day you are in the toy store looking for the latest toy, the next day you are looking for colleges. Live in the moment of being a parent!" —Photographer and dad to Dannielynn
"Always embrace who you are and lean into the man that you're growing to be. If you care about other people's opinion, then you're other people's prisoner.

I think he just instilled in my brother and I hard work and always have that mentality to keep working." —Country music singer and dad to Dutton, while partnering with My GM Rewards Card

Both of my parents worked a lot and I never felt like I wasn't loved. Show those kids you love them." —Singer and dad to Jagger and Ziggy, while speaking at Luna Bronze's summer kick-off
"The best advise from my dad didn't have to do with words said, but actions shown to me day in and day out. He was always there for me, going above and beyond with whatever I needed.

That's how kids learn way more than anything else." —Former NFL player and dad to Nikko, Malia and River, while partnering with Caldera + Lab
