The third place has Darth Vader, the caped Star Wars villain famously voiced by James Earl Jones, who managed to sway 13 per cent of the votes. Hollywood star George Clooney takes fourth place in the list of desirable dads for his role of a single parent in romantic comedy One Fine Day opposite Michelle Pfeiffer.
In fifth place is Irish lothario Liam Neeson as father-on-a-mission Bryan Mills in 2008’s Taken, who himself takes 10 per cent of votes.

Pitt visiting psychic for guidance?
London: Hollywood star Brad Pitt is visiting a psychic and seeking guidance on his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
Pitt is being counselled by self-styled “spiritual adviser” Ron Bard, known as The Bard. “Yes, Brad comes to me for readings. I know him both personally and through my business. He is very, very spiritual,” dailystar.co.uk quoted The Bard as saying. According to close friends, Pitt, 46, has apparently told his new psychic guru he is worried about his relationship with Jolie. But Bard refused to comment upon it saying: “I’m between a rock and a hard place. I can’t break his confidentiality.” A source close to the actor said: “Brad says he believes The Bard is a source of comfort and inspiration, especially during difficult times.”
