Dax Shepard | Down to Earth DILF

As a man with down-to-earth qualities and a charming wit, Dax Shepard knows how to entertain. Shepard isn’t afraid of brutal honesty about adulthood or fatherhood, and embraces his vulnerabilities with open arms.

Dave Coulier | Uncle Joey DILF

If you thought Dave’s infamous “cut it out” catchphrase ended in 1995, think again. Aspects of Joey can be found sprinkled throughout his Instagram and Twitter accounts, with posts featuring the hashtag #cutitout as well as photos of friends wearing his “cut it out” merch. At heart, Dave is still the same Uncle Joey we all fell in love with back in ‘87.

He may be broody and moody, but before he was Slim Shady he was big daddy to daughter Hailie Jade Scott Mathers, who has been the beloved subject of many of the rapper’s songs.

Terry Crews | Sweet & Strong DILF

While his muscles, which sometimes appear to have muscles of their own, can be spotted easily through a white button-up, you’d be a fool to think of Terry Crews only as a strong man.

Though the WJBK weatherman has acting chops and a face fit for the silver screen, his love for weather and his home state have landed him right here in metro Detroit.
