32+ Times Celebrities Gushed About Their Kids in Interviews

Everybody knows that when you become a mom or dad, your world is completely changed. Even the most loved celebrities aren't left untouched by the whirlwind that children bring to their lives. There's a mix of stars who prefer their children away from the public's gaze, while others are quite open about their family life through interviews filled with humor and warmth. These celebrities have chosen to share their personal kid-raising stories that are full of passionate cheerleading at soccer games, funny embarrassments that come with parenthood, the challenge of lack of sleep, and the occasional misunderstandings that raise a laugh. They've chosen to open the door slightly on their family life to give us a glimpse into their world.

What a Hoot

You might find it unexpected but the renowned actor, Brendan Gleeson, didn't step into the acting world until he turned 34. What's more interesting is that he had already become a father to four boys before securing his position in the limelight of the entertainment industry.

Evidently, his sons experienced a period of adjustment when their father rose to fame, but it seems they quickly adapted to their new lifestyle in North America. It's hardly surprising to find out that Gleeson chose to remain in Ireland following this life-changing encounter.

Soccer Dad

We've all seen parents who can't help but get a bit too excited during their kid's sports event, and Mark Wahlberg seems to top the list. Pictures actually captured him making animated gestures from the boundary of the playing field. His intense involvement is quite evident from the sidelines!

If Wahlberg is already so nervous that he's getting a funny feeling in his stomach, can't eat, and can't speak during his son's championship game at only nine years old, then we can only imagine what will happen as time goes on. Seriously, for the sake of his dad's health, his son might just have to think about a different hobby.

Mom-Upmanship

It's often tough for moms and dads to get used to the thought of their kids going on dates. They have to have faith in their children to make wise choices and choose the right companions. And, they need to stand by their kids, even when they make mistakes in their choices.

Mark Wahlberg, like any typical father, simply wanted to make sure the young man dating his daughter was a good choice. Surprisingly, the suitor showed impressive tact and intelligence in his approach. It's quite clear -- this young man's a winner.

Phony Ba-Boney

Modern technology is something that children nowadays have always had. It can be a bit challenging to get them to understand how life was before all the upgrades that have come with the 21st century. For them, it may be hard to imagine a world that's very different from what their moms and dads experienced growing up.

Even though things weren't all that different then, people surely did have secrets, or skeletons, even if they didn't own cell phones. Chris O'Dowd was hilariously misrepresenting history with his comical misinterpretation of the past.
