"Jurassic World" actress Bryce Dallas Howard directed a new documentary, "Dads," that features Jimmy Fallon, Judd Apatow, Will Smith, and other famous fathers. The film is available for streaming on Apple TV+.

She recently opened up to The Daily Beast about what it was like growing up with her dad, Ron Howard, a highly acclaimed filmmaker and actor. Dallas Howard said that when people ask her if she thought having a parent who was a well-known celebrity was "harmful," she disagrees.

"I'm always like, In what world is it harmful?" Dallas Howard told The Daily beast. "I mean, now I'm 39, and I've met a lot more people. There are a lot of kids of recognizable people, kids of celebrities, who have more of a relationship to the public version of their parents than to the private version of their parents. And it's the opposite for me."

She added: "It's a privilege for that person to have success in their own right. But there was no greater privilege than the fact that my dad was supportive of me, empowered me, and showed me respect, real respect, from day one."

Chrissy Teigen lovingly described her father as a "fishing vest-wearing hunk of man meat."

Based on Teigen's post, she'll be dropping off a savory dish of scalloped potatoes — a recipe from her "Cravings" cookbook and blog — for her dad to enjoy on Father's Day.

Jennifer Garner shared a photo of her dad when he was young, and fans commented that the two have an uncanny resemblance.

"Thank you, Billy Jack, for working your tail off, for hugging the world's best hugs, and for mowing the lawn in the dark," the "13 Going on 30" actress wrote about her father.

"I grew up with the luxury of taking your work ethic, your integrity, your steadfast love of my mom, my sisters and me for granted," Garner continued. "Yesterday you told me, 'We love you so much and we are so proud of you', what more could a child ask of a father."

Jennifer Lopez shared tributes to fiancé Alex Rodriguez, her ex-husband Marc Anthony, and her dad.

Lopez and Rodriguez each have two kids from their previous marriages. Lopez has 11-year-old twins, Emme Maribel, and Maximilian "Max" David, and Rodriguez has daughters Ella and Natasha.

"Watching you with all our babies makes my soul sing," Lopez wrote in her Twitter post.

On Instagram, Lopez shared a series of pictures with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, the father of her kids; as well as a touching video about her own dad.

Michelle Obama shared a touching photo of Barack Obama with their daughters Sasha and Malia.

"We feel your warmth and generosity today and everyday," the "Becoming" author wrote in honor of Father's Day.
