Adam’s kids hate his fashion sense and often ask him to change clothes before being seen with him: “I do embarrass them now, I wear shorts a lot. And my kids do ask me to put pants on when I go to school. They ask, ‘Could you just one time wear pants?’ And every time I get out of the car, I look down and I go, ‘I got those shorts on! Who’s gonna yell at me?’”
Bono says his kids were embarrassed when they learnt he was hanging out with Beyonce and Jay Z. He said they commented on the meeting: “‘He’s probably boring their a***s off talking about Africa’. And actually I think I was at the time. Not boring their a***s off… Actually, I probably was.”
David is constantly posing in underwear for campaigns and his sons are left red-faced: “The boys are pretty embarrassed about it. They’re kids, so they said, ‘Oh my God daddy, not again. That’s really good, but everyone’s going to see you in your pants’.”
Sarah’s kids ask her not to dance or use younger words: “James doesn’t like me using words he thinks I’m too old to use and I’m not allowed to dance in front of anyone. I would never dance in public in a million years but I do it in private just to annoy him. I used to do a special song and dance for him when he was a toddler, but now when I say I feel it coming on, he screams, ‘Nooooo.’”
Sylvester’s daughters don’t want him to drop them off at school: “My daughters ask to be dropped off a block away. I say, ‘Are you kidding? You have Rocky and Rambo for a father – everybody loves me!’ They’re embarrassed.”
