If you’ve ever wanted to claim a celebrity as your dad, now’s your chance.
A viral tweet where a Twitter user posted modeling photos of his dad has inspired others to do the same. Some people are posting photos of their actual dads flexing, but most people are just posting photos of hot celebrity dads instead.
It all started with a tweet from a Twitter user named Collin Hayslett. He said his dad, Clint Hayslett, now 45, is pursuing a career in modeling and has never been happier.
My dad is 45, pursuing a modeling career, and I’ve never seen him happier. He told me he’s just waiting for a chance to blow up. So, Twitter, meet my dad. pic.twitter.com/zYSmZGbPCn

From there, the meme spread to photos of other joyful and handsome celebrity dads - some with an ironic twist.
