Daddy's Girls: Celebrity Stars and Their Dads - Unveiling Jennifer Aniston, Beyonce, Blake Lively, and More!

Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Beyoncé, and Blake Lively have a deep affection for their fathers, and they proudly express it. Jennifer Aniston, in particular, attributes her acting journey to her father, John Aniston. In a 2008 interview with the International Herald Tribune, she shared that her father's profession as a soap opera actor played a pivotal role in kickstarting her own career. Reflecting on her humble beginnings, Jennifer humorously admitted that her first appearance on screen was in a skating rink scene as an extra, where she benefited from the connection of nepotism.

The Morning Show actress reminisced about the first time she caught a glimpse of him on the screen. She attended the Rudolf Steiner School in New York, where watching TV was strictly prohibited. However, she couldn't resist sneaking a peek at her dad on an episode of 'That Girl' when she was home sick one day. Although she yearned to share her excitement with her mom, she had to keep it to herself.

However, Jennifer Aniston's father didn't always enjoy the fame he later acquired. In his early days, he struggled to make ends meet as an actor and resorted to selling vacuum cleaners door to door. Sadly, the soap opera star passed away in November 2022 at the age of 89.

Lively and her father, Ernie Lively, have collaborated on screen as well. Although Ernie Lively is most recognized for his roles in Passenger 57 and Turner & Hooch, he also appeared alongside the Gossip Girl alum in 2005's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, portraying her character's father.

The bond between the twosome remained strong on and off screen, but it was shattered with Ernie's untimely demise in June 2021. At the age of 74, the late star left a void that was deeply felt by Blake. On her first Father's Day without Ernie, she paid tribute to both her dad and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram, the A Simple Favor actress posted a picture of her father sharing a laugh with the Deadpool star, captioning it with a pair of brown heart emojis.

Stars and Their Dads: Jennifer Aniston, Beyonce, Blake Lively and More

Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Beyoncé, and Blake Lively have a deep affection for their fathers, and they proudly display it. Jennifer, in particular, attributes her acting journey to her father, John Aniston. In an interview with the International Herald Tribune in 2008, she shared, "My dad was a soap opera actor. I had a small role as an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't have to audition; it was all thanks to nepotism," she humorously added.

The actress from The Morning Show recounted the first instance she laid eyes on him on the screen. She mentioned attending the Rudolf Steiner School in New York where watching television was prohibited. However, while being home sick one day, she caught a glimpse of her father on the show 'That Girl'. Jennifer expressed her desire to inform her mother about it but had to keep it a secret.

However, the father of the star from We're the Millers wasn't always well-known. Jennifer shared that during her childhood, he used to sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door since he wasn't making enough money as an actor. Sadly, the soap opera star passed away in November 2022 at the age of 89.

Lively and her father, Ernie Lively, have also collaborated on a project. Although Ernie Lively is recognized for his roles in films like Passenger 57 and Turner & Hooch, he had the opportunity to act alongside his daughter in the 2005 film Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, portraying her character's father.

Blake honored her father and husband, Ryan Reynolds, on her first Father's Day without Ernie. She shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram of her dad and Ryan laughing together, captioning it simply with "My guys" and two brown heart emojis.
