Today we have male physiques like Henry Cavill, Chris Evans, and Rege-Jean Page all over the screens. Where were these men in the 60's-90's? Pierce Brosnan doesn't count because even though he is handsome he does not have the same sort of body. Arnold Schwarzenegger also doesn't count because even though he's incredibly ripped, he isn't attractive in the same way. The thing I'm noticing seems to cut across racial lines as well (maybe not Asians). Are there any males in the history of kino that I am totally forgetting, or is this something that's really different today compared to the past?

gayest fucking topic OP
who cares about men's bodies?
🤢

Back in the '60 through the '90s, male stars like Pierce were sex symbols as a product of their toxically masculine charisma and charm. Nowadays that shit doesn't fly, so they write action stars as safe, borderline onions-tier characters and make up for this with insane physiques like Hemsworth's.

I was born in the wrong era. I have an impressive physique in the based timeline.

No you aren’t forgetting anybody. What you’re noticing is the fact that Hollywood is courting a gayer/female audience now. So they push bimbo beefcakes like Henry and Chris and don’t care as much for actors with regular bodies that are better actors.

Cavill put effort in which is in line with Superman. Clark doesn't need to be ripped but growing up at the farm will give him a fairly good build. Hemsworth is just a typical aussie, nothing new.

People were smaller back then. People born before the 60s even tended to have less developed faces

What is this?

it's pretty multifaceted but i think most of the points have been covered itt

>old school male charm doesn't fly; make up for it w muscles

>movies are now tailored to maximize degeneracy (ie female and gay coomers)

i also think modern hollywood is far more up its own ass than it used to be so actors are expected to put in more effort for a role (e.g get buff, ruin your psyche via obsessive method acting)

and the last thing is bodybuilding just wasn't as big or well defined of a process back then
