Reese Witherspoon’s husband Ryan Phillipe has been crowned Hollywood’s Hottest Dad in a magazine poll. The magazine claims the `Cruel Intentions star’, who was up against the likes of Will Smith and Johnny Depp, is the perfect choice because he’s a “devoted dad” who makes up one of Hollywood’s “cutest couples”. Ryan is father to Ava (6) and Deacon (2), and says that his child-rearing skills were probably the result of helping out at his mother’s nursery while he was growing up. Readers also voted for Brad Pitt (currently playing step-dad to Angelina Jolie’s adopted children), and Charlie Sheen (who recently rescued his relationship with Denise Richards for the sake of their daughters).
