It must be pretty hard to have a celebrity dad. You’ll never really be judged for what you do, and you’ll always be compared to your father. And since he “worked his way up” and you just inherited your status, you’ll always be worse.
That said, you don’t have to actually work a single day in your entire life. You see, not everything is all bad, is it? For some celebrity kids, however, life turned out exactly as I described above. They’ve somehow had to detach (or should have detached) themselves from their celebrity dad to create their own life. Let’s take a look at some celebrity dads whose kids have daddy issues.
Joe Simpson
I’ll just leave this quote from Joe about his daughter Jessica Simpson here: “She’s got double D’s! You can’t cover those suckers up!”
Hulk Hogan
Ol’ Hulk cheated on his ex-wife with one of his daughter’s friends. Also, his relationship with his daughter has been described as “slightly inappropriate” on one or two occasions.
Ryan O’Neal
Ryan O’Neal introduced one of his sons to cocaine at the ripe age of 11 and regularly did drugs with both his sons. But enough about what a swell guy he was.
Alec Baldwin
While we all like him for taking the piss out of Donald Trump, let’s not forget this man called his eleven-year-old daughter a “rude and thoughtless little pig” on voicemail.
Michael Jackson
We all remember that one time in Berlin where he dangled his baby over a balcony. Reactions varied from “he shouldn’t be near children” to “oh that MJ, he’s so silly!”
Tom Cruise
Rumor has it that Tom Cruise has been quite absent from Suri’s life ever since he and Katie Holmes split.
Woody Allen
Woody Allen split from his ex-wife Mia Farrow to marry their adopted daughter. Hmm! Inquiring minds want to know!
Eddie Murphy
Once Eddie Murphy got Mel B. pregnant, he split from her and claimed he wasn’t the dad. It wasn’t until three years after a DNA test proved that he was the father that he had anything to do with his daughter.
O.J. Simpson
Being accused of murdering your children’s mother is probably a good enough reason to get you on this list. And that’s not all that’s on his record: the man is known for loving a good robbery and assault.
Charlie Sheen
I mean, the guy lives on alcohol, drugs and porn stars. What did you expect? But maybe to blame daddy Martin Sheen for being a tad too liberal in raising Charlie? Hollywood does stuff to people.
