Homer Simpson and David Beckham best represent British fathers, according to a new survey.
Research shows more than a quarter of dads feel they share a similar relationship with their children as David Beckham and his three sons, while 12% recognise their parenting style in the animated characters Homer and Bart Simpson.
The results - which have been published to celebrate the release of the Oscar-nominated film 'Boyhood' on DVD today (19.01.15) - aim to show how the experience of boyhood has changed through a generation.
Although over a tenth of fathers feel they can relate to the calamitous relationship between Homer and Bart, the survey found a third of dads feel close to their sons, compared to a generation ago when 45% said their relationship was average at best.
