These Days Lionel Richie is Mostly Known for Being Nicole's Dad

To those who remember the early 1980's, Lionel Richie is remembered as the 'Can't Slow Down' man.

But for the younger generations, Lionel is simply known as Nicole Richie's father.

Lionel told Australia's Daily Telegraph,

"I'll be in an airport and I'll hear a bloodcurdling scream. There'll be a group of Italian kids on holiday, going to Disneyland or something, and I'm thinking, 'The kids recognise me, thank you very much.'

"And they rush over to me, and ask, 'Are you Nicole Richie's dad?' and I say, 'Yep. OK, I'll take that.' I'm just the dad. It seems to have made me a bit cool."
