Actors Who are Proud Single Fathers
A father always tries to hold the hand of his kids, whether they are in trouble or not, to make sure they are being protected from the problems of the world. Even if his child is a full grown adult, he will try to make sure that his kid is safe and sound as well as living in a cosy environment. While normal fathers who have normal jobs are continuing to do so, even famous fathers who are actors believe in doing so.
They may not have a normal job, such as a desk job and might be taking selfies with every other fan of theirs, but in the end, they too are normal people when it comes to being a father, especially as a single father. The actors who are single fathers might be shooting a superhero movie during the day, but are super dad when they spend quality time with their children and make sure that they do everything that they can for them.
Keeping this in mind, we have a list of some of the most famous actors who are proud single fathers and have nailed it when it comes to fatherhood. Have a look below:

Much before tying the knot with Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman. The two had been trying to conceive, however, were unable to succeed. This is when they decided to adopt and adopted two children, Isabella Jane Kidman Cruise, who was born in 1992, and Connor Antony Cruise who was born in 1995. However, Kidman openly admitted that she never had a strong relationship with the two children. In fact, they did not even call her mom. When Cruise filed for divorce in February 2001, it was only appropriate that he got full custody of the two children. When he married Holmes in 2006, she was already pregnant and gave birth to their daughter Suri. When she filed for divorce in 2012, he retained custody of their young daughter. However, he has been a dedicated father to all of his children.
Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson is known for his roles of a badass father on screen, however, he is quite caring towards his two sons. Neeson met his wife Natasha Richardson while performing in a play on Broadway in 1993. The couple later married on July 3, 1994. They had two sons, Micheal Richard Antonio, born June 22, 1995, and Daniel Jack, born August 27, 1996. Unfortunately, his wife died tragically due to a skiing accident which made him a single father of his two sons. Since then, not only Neeson has been a terrific father but has also been very protective of his two sons.
