Manliest of the "Manly Men.

Fred Flintstone

Clint Walker is the manliest man who ever lived.

Manfred Mann.

Nathan Lane.

Steve Reeves

Just by chance saw this pic of Steve Reeves yesterday - age 17 in 1943, hubba hubba!

Burt Lancaster.

Caitlyn Jenner, athlete extraordinaire.

Bea Arthur

check out the shorts and hair

Ron Ely

John Wayne. HA!

[quote] Robert Conrad, who infamously told TV Guide, "Whatever macho is, I'm it."

And as we all know, he was actually a big closeted bottom who liked getting beat up by rough trade.

The true manliest men do not have to perform their manliness for an audience like Conrad did.

EJ Johnson

The only ones we have currently are getting old, Clint Eastwood and Sam Elliot can't make films forever. Kevin Costner seems to be staking claim to the role, but he is 67. Where are the young manly men, the new Rowdy Yates?

Jeff Chandler - is that Kenickie in Grease?

Kevin Costner (born in COMPTON - he needs a Training Day role) has the outdoorsy/western/rancher thing going on but that was through the veil of a very 1980s Sensitive New Age Guy - his high pitched voice added to that.

Gordon Jump

Poor Gordon. So lonely.

Daniel Craig He’s a real man.

Robert Mitchum

R20- He’s a real GAY man 👨

Yo , none of you mentioned me

The Italian Stallion

Sylvester Stallone

John Wayne was manly on camera. Off the set he was a big ol' girl's blouse in Espadrilles and hot pants.

I thought it was Russell Tovey? The butchest gay there ever was.

Boris is the manlinest man who ever manned.

In the present day, Josh Brolin seems pretty manly to me, although I sense someone's going to tell me how wrong I am

Arnold from Austria?

R24- Are you suggesting that John Wayne was a Connoisseur of COCK?

Omar Sharif, historically.

Sean from Scotland.

Paul Bunyan

I’m taller than you, Sly.

R23 - Maybe I should have posted this to the “background actor” thread, but I *guess* it could count as manly? 😬

In Vancouver in the early ‘90s, anyone who was even tangentially connected to the nascent movie scene there knew the story of Stallone filming “Cliffhanger”, which is to say:

Stallone was on a break but didn’t know he was still miked (mic’d??) - anyway, he was heard by the crew telling some poor woman, as she was blowing him, “SAY MY NAME. CRADLE MY BALLS.”

My sister was a makeup artist and knew someone on set, which is how I heard of this right after it happened. Over the years, I heard the story from others who’d heard it from their friends in the film industry, which amused me no end; I *loved* that we were all somehow connected to Stallone’s ridiculously ego-driven blowjob.

I swear, if you say “Say my name. Cradle my balls.” to anyone of a certain age in Vancouver film industry, they’ll know exactly what you mean.

^ repost it in the background artists thread r34!

R34- Better that she was only required to cradle his nasty balls instead of being forced to LICK them.

He wins the crown 🤴 for being the MANLIEST of MANLY MEN

Where is today's Mike Henry?

Today there are those giant muscular Icelandic 7-foot tall guys on the Viking shows (or at least one of them).

Gregory Peck

Sydney Poitier

Al Pacino (in the first few Godfathers, he had a strong presence about him)

Arnold

Stallone

Sara Ramirez

Charlton Heston

A lot of these guys like Heston, and Lancaster, were manly, but also actor-y. Lawrence Tierney was sort of manly but also crazy. I can't think of anybody. I'd say Joel McCrea but he was kind of boyish. Maybe Lloyd Nolan.

Anyone who wanted to be in showbiz is not manly

Clint Walker, I tell you, the manliest man in manly history.

I thought it was 'cup' my balls, r34.

Daniel Craig is the only one I can think of today.

I know Alan Ladd and Robert Taylor were supposed to be manly men, but I never saw it.

[quote]Caitlyn Jenner, athlete extraordinaire.

I agree with you! Caitlyn is that rare person who can switch genders from M to F and end up looking MORE masculine.

All things considered, voice, looks, demeanor, Sam Elliott wins…
