This
is a short study in the contrast between the state of "fatherhood"
for Louis Tomlinson, member of One Direction, and Jake Gyllenhaal, army-green
pants clad Hollywood actor.
Great
to see Management providing a perfect study tool like this article from
Celebnow.com to exhibit how Louis' state of "fatherhood" is
handled. A few exemplary quotes:
He’s travelled the world and
performed in some of the biggest venues, but Louis Tomlinson got to
experience something brand new: his first Father’s Day.
Louis
melted all our hearts when he took to Twitter days after little Freddie’s birth
in January.
But
today we’re putting all the drama aside to celebrate Louis’s first Father’s Day
with a collection of the CUTEST snaps of the proud dad and his little lad.
Enjoy!
The last sentence is then followed
with numerous pictures of Louis and Freddie which have been well-publicized
since the birth of this fictional story in January of 2016. In-your-face recycling and a This Is Your
Life presentation.
Then there's the other end of the spectrum
where you have Jake Gyllenhaal who is a closeted father in real life, but his
high profile, public image is that of a single, straight male with no children. Let's repeat - with no children.
Jake Gyllenhaal opens up about his
desire to be a father: "It is definitely a dream of mine." - ET Online
"I am not a father
yet." (from the same ET Online interview)
Jake Gyllenhaal on Playing a Father
in Southpaw: 'I Would Love for It to Not Be Fictional' - People
While the 34-year-old actor has not
been able to add "father" to his résumé offscreen, it's something he
looks forward to in the years to come. (from the same People interview)
"Nothing gets me more excited than thinking
about being a husband and a father one day. There is no purpose I can see in
the world more important than that."
- International Business Times
Both celebrities' fatherhood or
"lack" thereof are both highly touted in the media and the ironic
part is that in both cases, the opposite is true.
To all the fathers, caretakers, mentors, and time-givers on this Father's Day, we salute and thank you.
