When it comes to some of Hollywood’s biggest and brighest stars, many of them are quick to thank their parents for unconditional support throughout the years. Others, however, have tales of very public estrangement from their parents, their fathers in particular. Both make for interesting celebrity gossip stories. Since it’s Father’s Day, we thought we’d take a look at 9 celebrities and their dads. 9 Celebrities and Their Famous Fathers 1. Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, has always supported his daughter’s musical career, for good or for ill. It’s hard to find a more supportive father than Billy Ray Cyrus. Despite any and all of Miley Cyrus’ crazy antics throughout the years, Billy Ray has stood by his baby girl.

Katy Perry, on the other hand, ran from her father’s Evangelical ways and has been referred to as “devil spawn.” She still takes her dad to basketball games, though. That’s gotta be a sign they’re still on good terms, right? 15 Celebrity Dads We Love 1. Channing Tatum Channing Tatum is super in love with his daughter Everly.
