What do you want to be when you grow up? https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Enwjd8DHUH6gafodwAU7zD.png

Like father, like daughter.

Baby Tom was already giving Spider-Man energy.

The Jacksons experienced different levels of fame later in life.

I guess this is growing up...

So much iron being pumped!

Neither has ever landed an acting nomination, but they were nominated for something else.

Am I looking into this way too much?

I'll be laughing about this nine-word response for a while.

It's becoming a bit of a family tradition.

And the battle of wits continues!

Could you change the world?

One Bad Dad After Another

Oh, it's on!

We had a problem that day in 1995.
