James Marsden is one of our favorite comedic actors, but fans might not know he's also a loving dad. James has three kids - Jack, Mary James, and William Luca - and he's very dedicated to the trio.
"Of all my achievements in life, being a father is the one thing I'm most proud of. It is the most fulfilling," he told Men's Health back in 2018. "I'm always self-deprecating, but I don't have a problem saying that I am a great dad."
He added that a big part of setting an example for his kids is showing that it's Ok to fail. "It takes seeing the hero mess up or fail at something to become a man," he explained. "That, to me, has become more important than being this superstar, movie star, or an actor. It's integrity and substance of character - it's like when sh*t happens to you in hard times,...
