#27. Damon Wayans
Maybe you know him from several comedy movies and series. He is an actor, writer, entertainer, producer, and director. However, he is also one of the members of the American ShowBiz Wayans Family. His eldest son is also a well-known actor and comedian, Damon Kyle Wayans Jr. Even though he looks like a 30-year-old, he’s already a grandfather!
Damon Jr. is known for roles such as The Coach in the American sitcom New Girl and he also interpreted the voice of Wasabi in Disney’s Big Hero 6. Damon Jr. has two daughters, from whom I predict we can expect big things! After all, fame clearly runs in their veins!
#26. Garth Brooks
Garth Brooks, whose love for music is undeniable, was suddenly surprised by the fact that he loved his granddaughters even more than he loved music. His second daughter, August Anne, gave birth to his first granddaughter Karalynn in 2013.
To everyone’s surprise, the baby turned out to be “the glue that held the whole family together“. Brooks is now a loving, caring and proud grandpa who makes time for playing music. He is a talented musician who has the time of his life with his family. He definitely merges his two passions perfectly well!
#25. Alice Cooper
The Godfather of Shock Rock is also the grandfather of two baby twins, named Riot and Falcon. With those names, I think they have a clear future in the music industry, and Cooper is already fantasizing about his grand twins’ band name. He suggested that “Falcon Riot” sounds very promising.
Despite his appearance on stage, Cooper is a very loving grandpa and he is very fond of those little babies. He takes care of them, plays with them, and even sings a lullaby at night from time to time.
#24. Marie Osmond
Marie Osmond has an incredible résumé: She is a country singer, actress, talk show host, and a philanthropist. But, as a matter of fact, we can add to that (already) impressive list that she is the mother of eight and the grandmother of three.
All the awards she received throughout her career mean nothing to her in comparison with her grandchildren, with whom she discovered a new world of untold stories and adventures. Stories that cannot be found in Hollywood scripts or sets. Maybe she does not profit from that, but being with them is a treasure without measure, larger than her paycheck.
#23. Sting
The English musician known for being the lead singer of The Police recognizes he is a better grandfather than he was a parent. He tries to have the time of his life with his four grandchildren. In spite of being a wealthy family, Sting always highlighted the idea that his kids had to succeed in their own merits and work hard for that purpose.
He is so inflexible at that point that he uses this same reasoning with his grandchildren. According to the musician, they won’t be receiving any part of his fortune, but (apparently) that’s okay with them since they have a high working ethic as “they weren’t born with a silver spoon in their mouths“.
#22. Dog The Bounty Hunter
Duane Chapman, also known as “Dog, the Bounty Hunter” caught his most valuable fortune in January 2019 when his grandson Dakota became a father. Yes, you’ve read just right: He is a great-grandfather and a very proud one!
Both his wife Beth and him are very happy that Chapman’s generation continues to expand. She posted on her Instagram account that “the Chapman family tree just keeps growing“. They are thrilled about it.

At night, he told his granddaughter why he was called ‘Ice cube‘ as one of his bedtime stories. “My eldest brother, he threatened to slam me into a freezer and pull me out when I was an ice cube. I just started using that name, and it just caught on“, he told her.
#20. Anna Wintour
The editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Vogue became a grandmother on March 28, 2017. That’s when Charlie Shaffer, (Wintour’s first child) and his wife, Elizabeth, gave birth to their first daughter, Caroline.
In her first known photo, Caroline is wearing a beautiful mega ribbon. Clearly, fashion runs in her veins too. This British ‘Miranda Priestly’ seems to know how to balance her grandma routine and her busy schedule to meet all the ends and still look fabulous! And if you like “Devil Wears Prada as much as we do, continue to our top five, you can’t miss it!

Cedric, or ‘GrandCeddy‘, as he referred to himself on his Instagram profile, has recently become a grandfather for the first time. The comedian and actor showed publicly a photo of his granddaughter Kylo Faith Kyles and he described her as a doll.
He is very proud and knows perfectly well that a new happier life is dawning for him and his family. Can you imagine an even bigger smile put on his face? “My Grandcookie says ‘Popci I wanna go with you…’ but I had another meeting and she gave me that face… ‘What I say???’ [sic]”.

Ever since that day, Billy Crystal’s daughters have gifted him with three more grandchildren, who are now starting to realize who his grandfather is. When they saw Monsters Inc. for the first time and realized he was Mike Wazowski, they had him speak like Mike for six months straight!
#15. Sally Field
In case you were wondering… NO! Her grandchildren do not belong to the Spider-verse. We all know Sally is an excellent actress who has interpreted different roles to perfection, though she usually plays maternal figures in her films.
She was the loving and caring mother of Forrest Gump, the gentle Aunt May, and a courageous mother in Eye for an Eye, but… How is Field as a grandmother in real life? Well… as you can imagine, she excels in that role too. She has a grandson and two granddaughters who enjoy having sleepovers at Sally’s house.
#14. Harrison Ford
The actor is known for his famous roles as Han Solo and Indiana Jones, and these two roles have earned him millions of fans worldwide. Nowadays, he is committed to his most important fans among all, his three grandkids.
He first became a grandfather in 1993 when his son Willard and his wife gave birth to Eliel. After that, his eldest son, Benjamin, gave him two grandchildren. Harrison is very careful in keeping his private life private. Therefore, little is known about his relationship with them. But we are sure that he does a good job in that too.
#13. Ozzy Osbourne
The Prince of Darkness and lead singer of Black Sabbath has gone ‘Behind the Wall of Sleep’ after his son Jack and his wife gave birth to the idol’s eighth grandchild.
The Osbournes is a numerous family and they do not spare in talent and fun. The youngest of them all were seen on Instagram dancing and singing at the rhythm of ‘crazy train’. What does the future have in store for them? Surely, the music recording business would be interested to hear more about those little Osbournes.
#12. Martha Stewart
We are all acquainted with the work of Martha Stewart after watching several of her TV shows, especially the one she shares with our favorite rapper Snoop Dog called Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party and we also know she was a convicted felon. You would be surprised, but, nonetheless, scroll to slide #9!

Soon afterward, the couple gave birth to their second child, also a girl, Charlotte, to complete the happiness at the Hanks’ house. But happiness was far from coming to an end, as Chester Hanks surprised his father with a third granddaughter, Michaiah. Tom says that when the three girls are around, fun is guaranteed. He considers himself a “cool grandfather”. And I bet he is!

Without a doubt, Catherine Zeta-Jones is one of the most beautiful step grandmothers in all Hollywood. Her husband, the highly acclaimed Michael Douglas, recently became a grandpa thanks to his eldest son, Cameron Douglas and his couple, Viviane Thibes. The little Lua Izzy, the only grandkid of the Douglas-Zeta-Jones family, really enjoys being with them.
Michael and Catherine are very united and very thankful that their family understands what their careers entail. For example, rarely are they present at school shows, holidays, or other family events. That’s why, when they are together, they try to make the most of it. And that’s exactly what Little Lua is learning about her ‘buba‘.
#9. Snoop Dogg
It seems a little hard to imagine Snoop Dogg as a grandfather, but you’d be surprised to know he’s the best granddad out there. His first grandson was born in 2015 to Snoop’s eldest son Cordé Broadus and Jessica Kyzer. Cordé also gave him a granddaughter, and of course, the famous artist has a soft spot in his heart for the little girl.
On September 15th, 2019 the rapper welcomed his third grandson, Kai Love, who unfortunately died 10 days after his birth. It was devastating for all the family. Snoop Dogg only commented to the press that losing a child must probably be terrible, but losing a grandchild so young was even worse. Kai’s mourning father said that his spirit and energy will live on and that those 10 days would always be special for them all.

In an interview in The Rich Eisen Show, when he was asked if he would like for his grandchildren to play football, he asserted that he will not force it on them, as it is a very dangerous sport and head injuries are common. After all, he is a very protective grandfather.
#6. Flavor Flav
Famous rapper Flavor Flav is mostly known for being the MC for one of the most famous hip-hop bands in the United States, ‘Public Enemy‘. As Flav has seven children of his own, it would be normal to think that he has plenty of grandchildren. However, according to E! Online, he only has two grandkids.
When he was asked by Yahoo News about his grandchildren, he said “I’m proud of it. A lot of guys didn’t live to see this, but I did,” and admitted that every time his grandchildren call him Granddaddy, his heart melts.
#5. Charlie Sheen
Famous actor Charlie Sheen, known for his role in the TV comedy show Two And a Half Men, is one of the most controversial actors in television and has had his fair deal of scandals. But even though he may be a bit problematic, he is a family man, and it shows.
When his oldest daughter Cassandra Estevez gave birth in 2013 to his first granddaughter, Luna, Charlie could not have been happier. As he told TMZ, “it was a most wondrous day”. If you are a social media person, you could follow Charlie Sheen on Instagram to see every photo with Lun!

At the age of 68, Meryl Streep, one of the most awarded actresses in Hollywood history, became a grandmother for the first time after her second child, Mamie Gummer, gave birth to a baby boy on February 28th, 2019.
In these few months, Streep proved to be a very good grandmother. Hopefully, in real life, the actress is not as intimidating as she is in her role as grandma Mary Louise Wright in Big Little Lies, season 2. Of course, her passion in all her roles is undeniable, and her role as a real grandma won’t be any different. Maybe she won’t get any award for that… or maybe she’s already won it!

Above all, he loves to tell him bedtime stories. From time to time, he tells stories about his own adventures as an actor or that of the characters he played, in order to keep the little boy interested. Well, Jackson has many hours of amusement ahead, as many of us had watching Jim’s hilarious films.
