A celebrity dad is a beautiful thing. When you take the already-excellent formula of hot, talented famous male and add a baby or three to the mix, of course you're onto a winner (the only downside being that these men are obviously taken so having a baby with them ourselves is probably out of the question).
We've rounded up the most aww-inducing quotes on Fatherhood from our favourite A-list men that will make you want to stop what you're doing and reproduce.
John Legend
We're certain John's going to be one of the coolest celebrity dads in Hollywood - not least because he's passing on the best surname in history - and also 'cos he's spoken out how he plans to co-parent the daughter he conceived via IVF with Chrissy Teigen. Speaking to E! this week he revealed that he's going to 'slow down' and take some paternity leave so he's on hand for Chrissy 24/7: 'I feel like, my mentality is just to be open and ready to help with whatever I can, and to be as loving to my wife and to our daughter as much as possible.' he said. 'I think paternity leave is good. I think it's good for me to be home with Chrissy and helping her with whatever she needs, and I want to get to know our little baby!' Too cute for words...
Brad Pitt
Brad's gorgeous, six-strong brood with Angelina Jolie has made him a better person and he's full of gushing quotes on his parental role. 'Fatherhood is the best thing I ever did. It changes your perspective. You can write a book, you can make a movie, you can paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I have taken on...[fatherhood] is everything.... the hardest job in the world, the most rewarding job in the world.... We put in long days. And to go home and have dinner with your kids, and have to discipline one of them who's out of line, and still have the energy for that is.... I can't explain the fulfillment of that, but it is everything.'
The actor's also spoken out about 'choosing' Angelina as the mother of his kids was the 'smatest decision he's ever made'. You can review their best couple moments in our Brad and Ange gallery.
Ryan Reynolds
Ryan recently welcomed his baby daughter James with wife Blake Lively, and it's good to know that fatherhood hasn't altered his witty sense of humour. Speaking on the David Letterman show he told audiences how his protective instincts had, er, shifted somewhat: 'I used to say, 'I would take a bullet for you.' The second I looked into that baby's eyes, I knew in that exact moment that if we were ever under attack, I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that baby.' We think that means he just really loves them both?

Channing Tatum
No-one knows the perils of being a father to a little girl better than Channing Tatum. Comparing fatherhood to a film role, when his daughter Everly was born last year he said: 'I've never protected the president [in real life], but I have been a new dad, and I can tell you that being a new dad is pretty terrifying. I'm pretty sure that something about the president makes the stakes a little higher, but to me as a new father, nothing is more important or scary than protecting a daughter.' We are melting here...
Chris Hemsworth
Chris and wife Elsa Pataky have three beautiful kids together and Chris of course, couldn't be happier. 'I just have so much fun doing it [being a Father]' he said. And the actor also revealed his parental role makes him reconsider work commitments. 'Now I'm a bit more choosy, I think, with when I work and how I work because it better be worthwhile to take me away from them.'

Matthew McConaughey
Matthew's three-strong brood with wife Camilla Alves changed his entire life outlook. Speaking in 2014 he revealed: '[Fatherhood] is the one thing I've always wanted to be... Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. You know what's important. I definitely got more selfish. And at the same time, I think I got more compassionate.'
Kanye West
As celebrity Dads go, Kanye's pretty cool. He's rapped and sung about son Saint and daughter North, and regularly speaks out about how much he loves his family with Kim Kardashian: 'When I look in North's eyes, I'm happy about every mistake I've ever made' he said. Awww, Kanye you're killing us.
Chris Martin
Hey it looks like Chris Martin is a great father and a
staunch feminist (double-win) judging from his quotes on family. 'Men
should always change diapers' he quipped. 'It's a very rewarding
experience. It's mentally cleansing. It's like washing dishes, but
imagine if the dishes were your kids, so you really love the dishes.' We
love this analogy.
Matt Damon
Ok tissues at the ready for this beautiful quote from Matt Damon, who shares parental responsibility of four kids with wife Luciana Barroso. 'The only way I can describe [Fatherhood]... it sounds stupid, but at the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, you know how his heart grows like five times? Everything is full; It's just full all the time' he once told a magazine. (Excuse us whilst our hearts burst).
Jay Z
You'll never be able to think of Jay as a tough rapper again after stalking Bey's Insta and checking out all their cute family snaps. Jay said: 'I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter.'
Michael Buble
'[Fatherhood is] the greatest thing that could ever happen. You can't explain it until it happens, it's like telling somebody what water feels like before they've ever swam in it.' Could Michael be any more poetic in his explanation of Dad-joy? We feel like he should make this a song...
Chris Rock
The funny-man and father of three is definitely living his best life as a dad: 'Every day I'm proud to be a dad. When you have kids, there's no such thing as quality time. There's just time. There's no, 'Ooh, his graduation's better than going to the mall.' It's all kind of equal. Changing her diaper and her winning a contest, it's all good.'
