No doubt Ryan has probably gotten some sweet parenting advice from his best friend Sandra Bullock, who dropped more than a few wise words in her graduation speech at a New Orleans high school. She talked about the advice she's shared with her son, Louis, saying, "The rule is, you have to dance a little bit before you step out into the world because it changes the way you walk. It changes the way you walk out in the world."

We're half kidding, but for the record, Ryan looks rather good in stereotypical "dad clothes." Ryan was spotted on the Woman in Gold set in July sporting pleated pants and wire-rimmed glasses, and not even a buttoned-up look could distract from his good looks.

We cannot ignore that Blake Lively's hair is absolutely gorgeous, so on a completely superficial note, she's passed on some enviable hair genes! To say nothing of Ryan's good looks, of course, since they're both the faces of L'Oréal Paris.

It must be said that Blake and Beyoncé are friends, which means that Blake already has some major "cool mom" points that James will definitely appreciate someday. (Actually, let's make that double the cool-mom points, since she also starred in Beyoncé and Jay Z's On the Run tour video!)
