Happy Father's Day!

 
Many people are so inspired by their fathers that they choose the same career path: George W. Bush followed dad George H.W. into politics. Laila Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali became a champion boxer, just like her dad. (At one point, she even held the women's super middleweight world title.)

Editor's note: All links in this article point to Bing search results.

On this Father's Day, search has other newsmakers who followed in some legendary footsteps.

Colin Hanks: The newly engaged actor is the son of one of the greats of our time, Tom. You've seen Colin in movies including "King Kong," "W." and "The House Bunny." The pair appeared in the movie "The Great Buck Howard," as, you guessed it, father and son.


Miley Cyrus: The pop starlet's dad is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. (What was his famous song, again?) They starred in "Hannah Montana: The Movie" this year, and there's the TV show.

Michael Douglas: Another acting great of our generation, Michael is the son of another great, Kirk.

Julian Lennon: The son of the late Beatles great John Lennon will release his sixth album, "Everything Changes," this year. But a John Lennon biopic, "Nowhere Boy," currently filming with a British teen idol playing the young Beatle, has Julian worried. Search has why.

Charlie Sheen: He did movies for years and years, but lately, he's been focused on his hit TV comedy "Two and aHalf Men," as Charlie Harper, the sex-crazed, hard-drinking bachelor. His dad Martin is another great actor who got his start in TV in the 1960s. They appeared in this 1990s movie together.

Ben Stiller: The actor, producer, director and writer really got into movies in the 1980s as a child. He and his dad Jerry appeared in a 2001 comedy, which also starred Will Ferrell, Owen Wilson, Milla Jovavich and others. Which one was it again?

Jaden Smith: This young actor is the son of the Will. The pair starred in "The Pursuit of Happyness" together.

Mario Batali: This famous chef's love of cured meats (such as guanciale) was likely inspired by his father, Armandino, the "Principal Salumist" at a popular Seattle deli. (Search for tasty recipes using prosciutto and pancetta you can make at home.)
