Hollywood stars-turned-parents often share heartwarming moments from their children's lives, but also may choose to broadcast less warm and fuzzy occasions. Celebrity kids pranks have become more commonplace in recent years, thanks in part to hosts like Jimmy Kimmel – every year, he encourages parents to jokingly claim they ate their kids Halloween candy, and every year it's hilarious. Pranks celebrities have pulled on their kids often leave fans both laughing and cringing.
Funny pranks stars play on their children often involve intentional embarrassment in the form of PDA or compromising photos.
