These are the most surprising celebrity godparents and their godchildren
These are the most surprising celebrity godparents and their godchildren – but do YOU know who’s dating whom?
Surely you’ve heard of a fairy godmother, but one step better is definitely having a celebrity godparent.
Hollywood’s A-listers have made some surprising friendships with each other over the years, and this has resulted in some unusual sponsorship choices.
Brad Pitt’s love for rock band U2 came to light when he chose Bono to be godfather to twins Knox and Vivienne, while Hugh Jackman has enjoyed a relatively quiet decades-long friendship with Rupert Murdoch.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus and her godmother Dolly Parton have been good friends for years and even appear together in episodes of Hannah Montana.
Another connection you may not necessarily make is the one between Jamie Lee Curtis and her godson Jake Gyllenhaal.
Jamie and Jake even lived side by side during the Covid-19 lockdown, with the latter often whipping up sourdough bread to provide much-needed entertainment.
Here, MailOnline takes a look at some of the most surprising combinations of celebrity godparents and godchildren.
