Big Daddy

Big Daddy is the tertiary antagonist and the father of Johnny, and the mobster leader of a gang of robbers in Sing. He wants for his son to follow in his criminal footsteps and his overbearing character makes it hard for Johnny to argue. He also owns a garage where he uses as a living space and as a hideout.

He is voiced by Peter Serafinowicz.

Big Daddy is an anthropomorphic gorilla. It is seen that he has a very large physique (hence the nickname "Big Daddy"). He is wearing a blue jumpsuit and a white shirt under it. When performing a robbery, he (and his helpers) wear a white rabbit mask.

Big Daddy seems to have a rough and strict attitude towards Johnny at first. He wants his son to follow in his footsteps and be an organized criminal, but scolds him when he wants to be singer instead. After a botched robbery due to Johnny failing to have the getaway vehicle ready, he goes to prison and later shuns his son during a conference. However, he became very proud of him after seeing his son's performance of "I'm Still Standing" on a prison television. He was so proud that he managed to break out of jail and evade police pursuit long enough to briefly see and appreciate him backstage during Mike's performance of "My Way" before leaving to turn himself in.

"Johnny, you were supposed to be keepin' a look-out! ... And where's your mask?"

- Big Daddy

"Yeah. It's time my boy had a proper role in the gang, eh?"

- Big Daddy

"Barry don't mind. Do you, Barry?"

"What do you care? It's the last job we ever need to do. When it comes in, we go. Right?"

- Big Daddy, to Johnny

"How did I end up with a son like you, eh? You're nothing like me. You never were, and you never will be."

- Big Daddy, upon learning his son's passion for singing

"Johnny. He's Johnny. That's my son!"

- Big Daddy, seeing Johnny perform "I'm Still Standing" on TV

"Well, I better get back. They'll be wondering what happened to me. You'll visit me though, yeah?"

- Big Daddy

"See ya, son."

 * The getaway truck he uses after robberies resembles a 1953–1956 Ford F-Series Pickup.
 * As he escaped prison to see his son, his pulling of the window bars matched the rhythm of Johnny's performance of "I'm Still Standing".
 * Big Daddy's real name according to some publicity materials is "Marcus". However, it's not entirely confirmed to be official.
 * The scene where Big Daddy makes his escape is reminiscent of the scene in Kingsman: The Secret Service; where Eggsy (Taron Egerton) tries to escape his stepfather's thugs by jumping from roof to roof.
