Toxic masculinity has a long moment, and dark misogynistic subculture “the manosphere” – is superb covered (and heartbreak) in the Netflix hit Adolescence – It seems to collect new headlines every day. But here in UsWe are hopeful that dangerous poscalled male role models Andrew Tate Not winning out: Whether through design or event, a growing group of famous men is showing emotional fragility, and showing boys it’s good to speak, embrace and be in contact with their feelings.
Take (an oath) Badgley’s head. Sure, his character is You is the pretty toxic male (he is literally stalking and murdering women who claim to love), but off -screen, the actor is not afraid to talk openly about his mental health, including the subject of a few famous men who have spoken about him publicly: the body’s dysmorphia in the past. “I know I hate my body and simply want a different one,” the Girls of Clecs Recently said alum The guardian. “There was only a period where, coming out of depression and isolation, I was deliberately jumping in, but also getting my thrust in, this world where the more conventional the more conventional I seemed, the more successful I could be, the more value I could have.”
Another star that prides itself on contact with his feelings and is open for his feelings Creek Dawson star James Van Der Beek – and not just through that evil “crying face” meme. The actor has used social media to open for his cancer diagnosis (he received in 2023 and revealed it in 2024), reflect on parenting challenges and talk about his mother’s mourning, who died in 2020.
In a world where boys can feel under pressure from social media trends such as “lookmaxxing” -Sy encourages men to maximize their physical appearance, sometimes through harsh measures such as surgery-and a so-called male loneliness epidemic is essential for role models like Badgley and Van Der Beek.
“When high profile men with large platforms open for their emotions and battles, he sends a powerful message to young men that vulnerability is part of humanity and is normal, not something to be afraid Lee Chambers recount Us. Witnessing successful men vulnerable, struggling with their mental health, warring with their bodies and dealing with personal trauma, all while continuing to be loved and respected, a huge deal – and could make all the difference to future generations.
“Men and boys who embrace sensitivity find it easier to understand themselves, express who they are and seek support if they need it,” said Chambers. “Having visible men sharing their challenges removes some of the stigma that exist, and demonstrates that masculinity does not have to be one dimension and focus solely on dominance and control. Today’s young men need a variety of men seem like themselves, which gives them permission to explore who they are and bring that version of themselves to the world.” ”” ”” ””
If the boy in your life is not convinced, you can show him that some of the most fascinating women in the world are attracted to “sensitive types.” Coordinate Kylie Jenner be head on heels for Timothée Chalametor Blake lively and Ryan Reynoldswho have always spoken openly about his battles with anxiety.
Shawn Mendes, Prince Harry and Olympy Michael phelps Only a few of the other superfamous dudes have shared their experience with anxiety and depression. Being in contact with your feelings is hot, and real men are emotionally complicated.
