Its interesting to compare the actors of today to those of previous generations. Why do they look so... different? Was it a different culture, different lifestyles or different experiences that shaped them?

I must be a very weird woman, I don't find Holland or Chalamet appealing at all. I'm between the age groups of the 2 different categories- perhaps I'm too old to appreciate men like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But even as a young girl, l didn't find guys like that appealing. I like masculine men. I don't mean I only admire men that are built-far from it. It's about the energy. It cannot be faked and all masculinity is not toxic- I'm tired of men getting that effing label.

They play completely different characters, which were always different. Spiderman was always played by someone like Tom Holland, and never like someone like Clint Eastwood or Arnold. Chalamet playet characters that fit his role too. We didn't go from one to another, we always had "Hollands and Chalamets", and we always had "Eastwoods and Schwarzeneggers". Your comment makes no sense.

Many of these old school Hollywood male film stars lived a hard live, before becoming famous. Charles Bronson grew up dirt poor and worked in a coal mine, to support his family and then went to the US Air Force during WWII and served as a bomber plane machine gunner. Lee Marvin was a decorated Marine in the Pacific War, who got wounded in combat and it took him almost a year to fully recover and learn how to walk again. Tony Curtis also grew up dirt poor and was even put in an orphanage for some time with his brother, because his family couldn't feed them. He later joined the US Navy and served on a submarine in the Pacific War. Sir Michael Caine served in the Korean War, as an Infantry soldier. These are just some examples from the top of my head, many more of these old school Hollywood ''leading men'' had similar life stories.

The problem with Pedro Pascal is twofold: first, saturation. He's just fucking EVERYWHERE. And second, he's not trying as hard anymore.

A very large chunk of the old school actors were veterans of WWII or Korea, sometimes both. James Arness had his signature limp in "Gunsmoke" because he almost lost a leg in the Italian campaign in WWII). Jimmy Stewart flew a bunch of B-24 Liberator bombing missions in that same conflict and you can sense that experience in both men, even if you knew nothing about their backgrounds. The only modern actor with a military background I can think of is Adam Driver. There may be more, but he's the only one....

As someone who grew up in the 60's & 70's I can tell you the difference: 1) Boys were ALWAYS outside. I was given 'chores' and expected to have them done - weeding the garden, feeding the horses, chickens, mowing the lawn etc. and never used sun screen, lotion etc still don't. 2) I started working when I was 10 at my elementary school and started mowing lawns for pay when I was 13. By 16 I'd saved enough to buy my first car but had to make enough to pay for the insurance. 3) When I wasn't doing chores or working I hung out with my friends playing baseball or catch, basketball, 2 or 3 on 3 football or just throwing the ball around, hiking, bike riding etc. Was life harder? Not really, the difference is that we were expected to contribute to the household and were given responsibilities to make sure that happened. That doesn't seem to be the case as much now a days.

My response for Mauler on Pedro Pascal being masculine as Oberyn Martell, is that Oberyn acts effeminate and flamboyant the whole time he is in King's Landing. He dresses casually and revealing, and he boasts about the hedonistic wonders of foreign lands to subtly jab at his counterparts. But, he is also a sword master and an aggressive killer. These traits make him intimidating, and he hides that part of himself until he needs to be that. Those is a masculine trait mixed with his flamboyancy and effiminate qualities. So in a way, he is more like the men in King's Landing than even he would like to admit. Since most of the men are killers as well. All in all, he is a Game of Thrones version of Cunningham from Rob Roy who came off as effeminate in contrast to Liam Neeson's rugged Rob. However, he had the sword skills and intelligence which made in extremely intimidating like Oberyn. I believe Mauler is too taken up with Oberyn's killing prowess and forgets all of his other traits that, unless it is all an act, show an effeminate and flamboyant man who is also a hot blooded fighter and killer.

I think this was less of a disagreement and more of a misunderstanding on MauLer's part of what Drinker meant by flamboyant. Oberyn absolutely was flamboyant. That was his character. That doesn't mean he was a sissy or anything like that which seems to be how MauLer interpreted it. He was flashy and a showman. From Merriam-Webster: "marked by or given to strikingly elaborate or colorful display or behavior". This absolutely describes Oberyn Martell from the show.

I am from a military family and the only man who was behaving like a "tough guy" was my mothernal great-grandfather, who got his leg blown off in a training accident on HMS Malaya, before WWII. Because of that, he spent the whole war as a clerk in India, frustrated he cannot serve. And he was the stereotypical, bitter, grumbly war veteran. Paternal great-grandfather, who fought with Polish Legion in WWII and with British Army in Korea and Malaya Emergency, was the mildest, most polite and all-round amazing guy. For somebody who lost his mother and 2 older sisters in Holocaust and whose first wife (my great-grandmother) was tortured to death by Czech communists in 1950, and who killed people since he was 22, that is still my manly ideal. Both grandfathers served in Falklands (but not in direct combat) and my father served in Desert Storm with 1st Armoured Division. And you can still argue it's my mom, who wears trousers at home. I knew and know a lot of hard military men, who were and are teddy bears at home and you would never suspect they lived lives they lived. Maybe because of UK culture which doesn't really glorify military conduct? But I also saw older soldiers pretty much keeping a tight lid on their work and not talking about it or brag about it. Even younger ones don't really do that, hell, my father was for a long time unwiling to talk about his experience in Gulf. And it's not like PTSD, it was something he left "over there" and not brought up home. He considers it as a service to his country, which is matter of course, not something to brag about.

Alexander the Great, leading from the front and suffering repeated injuries conquered much his known world before he was 30. Today we have men in their physical prime who are obese and popping pills for mental health just to get through another day in a society where even our poorest have access to foods and medicines medieval kings would have dreamed of. But if anyone mentions dysgenics they are dismissed. Everything's just fine. And the women - let's compare our great grandmothers who didn't have microwaves, washing machines, modern hair products, wore whalebone corsets and had litters of children and who were 'trapped' at home caring for the family while father got black lung in the coal mines. Meanwhile their great grand daughters tell us they are oppressed if they have to wear a dress for a paid job in an aiconditioned environment, or when their Uber eats delivery is late. We're pathetic and ugly now - and that is why we are losing our civillisation.

Mauler tried to argue Pedro wasn't horribly miscast as Joel and then justifies it by arguing how movie and game Joel are entirely different characters. I think he should've thought about that a bit more and realized that he just argued that Pedro was such a miscast that it made Joel an unrecognizable character between the two mediums.

Show and game Joel are different versions of the same character. Show Joel is much more of an exposed nerve who is openly affected by his trauma, especially when compared to his colder counterpart. I believe Mauler was arguing that comparing how Pascal represented Joel's character to how Joel is presented in the game isn't a good idea fundamentally because the show was never trying to copy game Joel in the first place. It used him as a template but the show had their own interpretation of the character from the start. It wasn't Pascal's casting that led to Joel being less hardened necessarily, the character was simply less hardened to begin with.

I could be wrong, but it sounded more like Mauler was trying to say that Pedro wasn't the worst miscast as there could have been far worse choices for the character. Personally, Pedro was just simply an incorrect choice, similar to how I view Cuba Gooding Jr being the incorrect choice for OJ Simpson in the FX drama series.

To me personally, I see Viggo Mortenson as the perfect Joel after I saw him in The Road. I think he has an easier time adapting to and taking hold of a role than Pedro Pascal does. And he is more a "Hollywood Tough Guy" than pretty much anyone else out there. All you have to do is watch A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, The Road, Lord of the Rings and most of his other films.

The previous generation of leading men in the 40's-90's Hollywood served in the military, saw conflict(s) or had experienced life's harsh realities, which left emotional and physical scars. Perhaps acting was an outlet for them to release all the pent up feelings and horrors they saw. Hollywood legends like Jimmy Stewart, Tyrone Power, Lee Marvin, Eddie Albert, James Garner, R L Ermey, Henry Fonda and Audie Murphy had put their "emotions" behind their movie character roles giving cinema a deeper look into character development and expressing emotions that other actors may not capture who had not served in the military, traveled the world, worked with their hands, or experienced life's adventures and turmoils. We can only hope Hollywood will find young men who typify the past generation of actors who challenged themselves and conquer their fears and mode their characters. As Always great topic and enjoy listening to the content. Cheers.

Same for Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, et al. That's tough guy charisma. And not one single actor today has it.

He was quick, agile, smart but also well-groomed, fancifully dressed - he was almost feline compared to the Mountain's wolfhound. So there's a point to be made that he could never pull off Ned Stark, Mountain, The Hound, etc.....those are his opposites.

They were late teens and the men wore button down shirts, slacks, ties and nice shoes and the women wore skirts, nice blouses with scarfs on their hair and around their collars.

So historically, guys would start dressing in suits & ties at 18 to appear 'grown up', while now most middle aged 'men' seem to prefer dressing like grade school kids... Maybe guys should return to wearing tailored slacks, collared shirts & sport coats, instead of distressed denim, graphic tees & hoodies. Present Company INCLUDED! lol

Watch a few movies or read some books set in the 40s and 50s and you'll learn that's not true. What it is, is our culture has been so debased that the differences between men and women are dissolving. Not only were men more "manly" back then, women were also more beautiful and feminine than women are now. That can't be attributed to an easy or difficult life.

I think GoT's pascal as Oberyn was less of a masculine approach, as the mountain was meant to take more of that in the scene being more of the brute. The Mountain and the Viper. Oberyn was more brovado and bravura. Both of which cost him the fight. He knew he could win, he knew he had the skill, even won outright by the end, but he needed the extra cherry 'cause that's Oberyn. And it opened him up to failure. A great character and Pascal played him well I think. He's a good actor, but he's not a Joel, and that's OK.

The 'old look' might also be down to everyone smoking until a few decades ago too.

I don't think its how difficult your life has been, my life has been wildly difficult, two wars, 5 desert deployments, two divorces, grew up on a farm in the 70s dirt poor and working heavy when I wasn't in school. I can bench 500lbs and I did not get it in a gym, I got it from being worked. I have hypertension from massive stress. If I shave my gray beard, or dye it, I can pass for mid 30s easy.. I am almost 55. Very few actors have had lives like mine, you have to go back to Lee Marvin and James Stewart to have actors who did things like I have. I never smoked, rarely drink, worked night shift most of my life so that limited the UV damage to my skin. I tried to live a healthy life for the most part. Smoking and drinking ages you fast, too much sugar ages you fast. The people I graduated with who smoke loot a lot older than those of us who don't. My younger brothers look a lot older than I do, they both smoke, the middle one is an Iraq vet like I am. Movies do not show masculinity, I don't think hollywood knows what the hell it is anymore.

I agree with you the heavy smoking and the heavy drinking back in the day really put some age on faces. People were out and about in the sun ALL the time back in the day and that damaged their looks about 30. I got a ton of face damage from days out doing stuff at the beach and roaming around outside before doctors started going on about sunscreen. We didn't mind lines on faces as much as people today.

Steve McQueen's mother was a lady of the evening, a horrid woman she included him in on her "transactions" as a child. He grew up with issues with male authority figures. He later went into the Navy. When he got out he became a hustler working the LA streets until he was discovered. A lot of the "tough guy" actors of the past and present prostituted themselves when they got to LA. Even Thomas Jane admitted he would sell himself for a sandwich just to have something to eat. You don't want to be eaten by the machine that churned out all these Hollwood man's men. They were used through and through everywhicg way imaginable.

I heard recently on Caravan of Garbage that Mel Gibson had exactly 16 lines of dialogue in The Road Warrior. That seems like it can't possibly be true, but think about portraying detachment, cleverness, quiet menace and a touch of humanity without saying anything. I don't see a Pedro pascal doing that.

Young actors today don’t smoke and I suppose that helps them look young longer. However, no actor today has any hope of ever looking as cool as Sean Connery in the opening sequence of Dr. No when he first introduces himself as Bond, James Bond while lighting a cigarette.

And there's various additional relatively smaller but quite common reasons people (even as young as 20) looked so much older 50 to 100 years ago, including but not limited to: the sheer amount of alcohol consumption on a casual daily basis, and how it was so common for many men to not drink much water (i.e. poor hydration), the constant exposure to smoking and passive smoking (affecting numerous aspects of one's interior and exterior health), little attention paid to skincare in men (e.g. little or no UV protection when working long hours under the sun, moisturising, etc) and so on. You could even include pre-natal and post-natal nutrition and care as being considerable life-long factors.

In 1981, Nigel Terry played King Arthur in _Excalibur_ opposite Helen Mirren. Despite being in his mid 30s Terry is convincing as the teen aged "Boy King." He starts off clean shaven while all the other MEN have full beards, his costume makes him look smaller and less developed than his elders and he does an excellent job of hanging his head and otherwise portraying a boy not yet a man. Then there is a montage of King Arthur's battles to unity Britain under his rule and when we see his face again he is visibly older. He has a full beard and battle scars. He stands tall and is fully confident and give orders with authority like a MAN. Timothee Chalamet may be a fine actor. But I'm stuck by the fact that despite being almost 30 he looks like a teenager in the Dune films. He looks rather effeminate with his mostly hairless body devoid of the musculature one would expect from a "leading man." And he still looks like a "boy" at the end of the second movie. He doesn't age at all despite years transpiring. He doesn't look more mature despite living in a harsh environment and being in constant war. And he looks like a boy compared to MEN like Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin. Rebecca Ferguson is only 11 years Chalamet's senior but she has no problem pulling off being old enough to be his mother. Of course it is easier to make a woman look older but Chalamet's immature looks help.

@@consciousgentile5141 I have read the book but it has been several years. Looking now it appears he is 15 at the start of the first novel. I don't see anything about him being "small for his age." Perhaps you could help me find that. But I do recall that the war took several years as he and Chani have a child which is killed. How long the war on Arrakis lasted in the movie is unclear. But if he is supposed to be 15 at the start of the first movie then the perhaps that is why I found the intimate scenes between Chalamet's Paul and Zendaya's Chani so uncomfortable to watch. Unlike Sean Young, in the 1984 adaptation, who looked quite mature and feminine in her Stilsuit, Zendaya's (despite being an attractive woman) look more like an adolescent boy in hers. Do you think my discomfort was feeling that I was watching two adolescent boys rather than an adult man and woman? And now you've got me thinking about it, given the proclivity of Hollywood producers toward that bent perhaps displaying a scene of two adolescent boys engaged in intimate contact was what the producers sought? But you have to admit that at 29 Chalamet is quite effeminate when compared to actors of the past at his age. Sylvester Stallone was only a year older than Chalamet when he made Rocky.

@robertanderson6929 Is he not small for his age, Jessica?” the old woman asked.” Reverend Mother Mohiam on Paul, from chapter 1 of Dune. “face oval like Jessica’s, but strong bones…hair: the Duke’s black-black but with browline of the maternal grandfather who cannot be named, and that thin, disdainful nose; shape of directly staring green eyes: like the old Duke, the paternal grandfather who is dead.” Reverend Mother Mohiam on Paul, from chapter 1 of Dune. Thank you for your cool reply. In Denis' Dune 2, the war is shortened-- thus Alia is still a fetus at its conclusion. So Paul is 16 at best. Chani just looks insufferable to me-- not boyish! The love scenes were so tame, I think it would be hard to find them offensive

@@consciousgentile5141 Thanks. I see that now. Like I said it has been some years. Zendaya is a beautiful young woman. I don't know why they chose to make her look so "boyish" and that's the term that seems best. But I think Timothee Chalamet proves the point of the video. Today's leading men look like boys instead of men. Just compare Chalamet's 2022 Vogue photoshoot to Bert Reynolds Cosmopolitan from 1972. I think the boys in the video are correct.

The first part of this video was a great relief as I really thought it was me. I´m 64 and recently booked and online video call with my "senior accounts executive" about an investment portfolio. When she first appeared, I thought it was rather unprofessional for her to ask her teenage daughter to stand in temporarily (must be in the loo, I thought). Tuns out SHE was the "senior" accounts executive. I swear to God everybody looks about 16 to me.

Our genderations not being out in the sun enough, that would slow our aging down, since we spend more time indoors online, playing vidyagames, and not out in the fields, on the farm, outside. Also the food. We arent getting enough nuturients, not getting enough quality meat and vegetables or healthy fats. Too much processed foods. You might think that would age us faster but there is certain ingredients in processed foods that raise certain hormones that would make us appear more younger, estrogen mimickers being one of them.

Reason why I don't buy most of the movie/TV male heroes nowadays. Every actor looks like the only hardship they ever encountered was lack of soy milk in their late. There is nothing in their eyes. That is why there are no silent moments, the men just talk and talk and talk... Boring, uninteresting AF
