Yeah, because lord knows that the Fresh Prince made it because he was a man's man. And let's not even get into the fact that probably the second biggest bankable black star dresses up like a woman to make his money.

If Orlando Bloom is a "bonafide movie star", then so is Viggo Mortenson who I wouldn't say is just a pretty boy. Ditto for Clive Owen and Daniel Craig. Nic Cage might not kick ass but he's hardly a pretty boy. Personally, I don't think Matt Damon's a "feminine pretty boy". Sean Penn?
