20+ Loving Celebs Who Never Forget Their Moms, No Matter How Rich and Famous They Are

For many people, a mother can be that irreplaceable figure — tireless, loving, full of advice and recommendations, who would not hesitate to give everything for their children. And someone whose children can count on them at all times. The same happens to many celebrities, and although sometimes we tend to idolize them, they are flesh and blood people like us, who often want nothing more than the company or the hand of their mom.

Bright Side wanted to bring you a selection of images in which the humanity of these celebrities and their great love and pride for their mom are more than palpable.

1. Gwyneth Paltrow showed us how much she loves snuggling with her mother in a post on Instagram.

3. Leonardo DiCaprio has attended several events holding hands with his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, who also seems to be a big fan of her son.

In 2014, during his BAFTA acceptance speech for his performance in The Revenant, Leonardo DiCaprio made a very special dedication: “There’s one person I have to thank,” DiCaprio said in his acceptance speech. “I would not be standing up here if it weren’t for this person. I didn’t grow up in a life of privilege — I grew up in a very rough neighborhood in East Los Angeles and this woman drove me for 3 hours a day to a different school to show me a different opportunity. It is her birthday today. So Mom, happy birthday. I love you very much.”

When he went up to receive his award, he dedicated these words to his mother: “She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children. She encouraged her kids to be creative, to work hard, and to do something special. That girl is my mother, and she’s here tonight. And I just want to say, I love you, Mom.

Visibly moved, she dedicated a few words to her daughter: “I know the journey and your career has not always been an easy one,” Braithwaite said. “But tonight I applaud and admire you for being so strong and so positive and so humble and so focused...
