Recreating A Beloved Haircut Memory
Actor and comedian Kel Mitchell kicked off Father’s Day with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring five slides of family nostalgia. Slide 1 shows three generations—the late 1970s shot of young Kel getting his first haircut from his dad, the recent recreation with his son Honor in the barber’s chair, and a present-day portrait of all three. “Happy Father’s Day, Dad! 💙 My son Honor and I recreated this moment from way back—my first haircut with my Dad. Now it was Honor’s turn for his first cut! Three generations, one legendary photo. Mitchell genes strong 💪🏾💈,” Kel captioned.
Dad’s Blue Suit Throwback
In Slide 2, Kel shared a throwback photo of his father in a sharp blue suit and matching hat. His dad quipped, “Did you see that photo of me in my blue suit? I was clean!” Kel laughed along, writing, “Yes sir—you were too smooth! Had the hat to match and everything 😎🕴️.” The glimpse into his father’s style highlights why Kel remains proud of his family’s history of confidence and flair.
A Poetry Plug On Father’s Day
Slide 3 turns the spotlight to Kel’s dad as a poet. He invited followers to pick up a copy of his father’s debut collection, Unmask the Truth, Unmask the Pain, Unchained, which is now available on Amazon. The book blends personal wisdom, reflections on healing, and lessons Kel says have guided him throughout his own career in entertainment.
Incredible Hulk Shirt Throwback
Nostalgia continued in Slide 4, where Kel reminisced about his childhood wardrobe. He wrote, “I still miss that Incredible Hulk shirt! 💚 Little Kel was out here reppin’ Marvel before the MCU took over 😂.” The snap of him as a kid in his favorite superhero tee shows that Kel’s love for pop culture and playful style runs deep.
Taking The Stage In Chicago
The final slide captures Kel and his father standing side by side at a Chicago event Kel hosted. He wrote, “That time I hosted an event in Chicago with my pops. Always an honor to share the stage with the man who raised me 🙌🏾❤️.” It’s a fitting close to a post that celebrates fatherhood, family legacy, and the bond Kel shares with both his dad and son.
Kel’s five-slide tribute resonated across social media. Fans applauded the way he wove together humor, fashion throwbacks, and a nod to his family’s creative side. The post also underlined Kel’s own evolution—from Nickelodeon kid star on All That and Kenan & Kel to Emmy-nominated actor, producer, and devoted dad.
Off Instagram, Kel Mitchell has kept busy with roles in film, TV and voice work. According to his Wikipedia page, he rose to fame in the mid-1990s alongside Kenan Thompson, later appearing in Good Burger and the 2023 Netflix reboot. He remains active on social platforms, where he balances promotional content with genuine family moments—like this Father’s Day tribute.
On social media, other recent posts from @iamkelmitchell have shown Kel promoting summer movie marathons on Pluto TV and celebrating milestone recitals by his eldest daughter, Wisdom. But this five-slide Father’s Day gallery stands out for its emotional weight and the creative way it spans three generations.
Kel’s post reminds us that family traditions—whether a first haircut or sharing the stage—carry forward lessons in love, style, and storytelling. And this year, fans got to see the Mitchell family tree in full bloom.
