Vince Vaughn was joined by his family for a momentous occasion: the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The "Wedding Crashers" star, 54, received the prestigious honour on Monday, 12 August, alongside his wife Kyla and their two children, daughter Locklyn, 13, and son Vernon, 11.
The usually private family posed for photos on the iconic pathway, their smiles radiating happiness. Vernon, holding his dad's plaque, stood proudly between his parents, a testament to the close-knit bond they share.
During his acceptance speech, Vaughn expressed heartfelt gratitude towards his family, highlighting their importance in his life. "My beautiful wife Kyla, Iâm so glad that youâre with me on this now, Iâm so grateful for you and these beautiful kids and for all the laughter that we share together," he said. He went on to declare, "As much as all this means, Vernon and Locklyn, you guys really do need to know that you guys are the most important thing in the world to me."
With a touch of humour, Vaughn jokingly remarked, "Youâre not as lucrative, and you donât give me access to the kind of stuff that this kind of thing does, but with that all being said, you guys are the most important and I love you very much. Itâs great to have you guys with me."
Vaughn's affection for his family is evident in his public statements. In a recent interview with The New York Times Magazine, he shared the joys of fatherhood, describing it as "such a joy." He attributed fatherhood to helping him become "more empathetic, more patient" and to "have more tools at encouraging."
Previously, in 2013, Vaughn expressed his love for being a dad in an interview with E! News, stating, "All kids bring their own joy, itâs a lot of fun... Thereâs nothing more fun than laughing and playing around with the kids."
The family's presence at Vaughn's star unveiling serves as a reminder of the actor's dedication to his family. This sentiment was further highlighted when he celebrated his hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre with his wife and children by his side. His dedication to his family is also evident in his public appearances, often taking his children to Disneyland and NBA games.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony provided a heartwarming spectacle of family unity, with Vaughn expressing his deep appreciation for his loved ones. It was a testament to the unwavering bond he shares with his wife and children, showcasing the importance of family in his life and career.
