Billy Idol has been an unlikely source of wholesome, adorable photos and video during the pandemic thanks in part to becoming a grandfather.

Idol's daughter, Bonnie Blue, gave birth to a daughter, Poppy Rebel, in May. Ever since, he's been sharing a bunch of posts regularly on Instagram with his granddaughter, like this beautiful photo below that he captioned, "The future is female." (Also, your eyes aren't fooling you; Idol did shave his trademark spiky hair recently.)

He even shared some behind the scenes video from that photoshoot

Of course, even though he's a grandfather now, he's still very much Billy Idol as evident by this photo he shared with the caption, "Photoshoot with @poppy.rebel today... she used this very British sign to tell us it was over!"

And then there was this funny photo showing off Idol holding a onesie that read, "With a rebel yell, she cried milk, milk, milk."

Long story short: If you want more, more, more of this surprisingly adorable version of Billy Idol, give him a follow on Instagram.
