Will Smith isn't just one of the most famous people in the world, he's definitely one of the most famous fathers, with his three kids establishing just as much of a presence for themselves.
The actor, 54, was able to rejoice in being a father to his three children, Trey, 30, Jaden, 24, and Willow, 22, in a throwback from a special Father's Day lunch, which you can catch in the sweet video below.
Will shares eldest son Trey with first wife Sheree, who he was married to from 1992-1995, and Jaden and Willow with Jada Pinkett-Smith, who he has been married to since 1997.
The Oscar-winning star has been proud of his work as a father, with his kids often seen standing right by him during some of his most special moments.

Last year, in an episode of Showtime's All the Smoke, the actor opened up about how he thought he had been doing his "greatest" parenting over the past year.

Will suffered a huge blow to his general popularity last year when he infamously slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage after he made a joke about Jada, mere minutes before he accepted the Oscar for Best Actor.

He continued: "This last year with my kids has been the best parenting. If I had to say something to guide someone about it is, first and foremost, everybody sucks at the beginning.
"It's OK to not be good at it. It's OK to make mistakes and the best thing you can do for your kids is learn and grow yourself."

"It was terrifying," Will said of the moment. "I felt like I had been texting looking at my phone and stepped out into the street in front of a bus and Willow snatched me back.

"As strange as it sounds, in that moment I discovered feelings. Because of my childhood, because of the way I was raised... I didn't care about how I felt so I damn sure didn't care about how somebody else felt.
