Russell Crowe is perhaps the last white MAN who is a movie star. Who else is a bonafide movie star in white Hollywood that you think could kick a guy's ass in a bar? Who else is a bonafide movie star in white Hollywood that you think could go to a bar and drink your pansy ass under a table? Who else is a bonafide movie star that actually doesn't seem like a feminine pretty boy (Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, etc.)? I could name older actors for days that I'd answer "yes" to these three questions... but nowadays these guys are rarities.
Note: I say white Hollywood since the majority of black movie stars are not feminine pretty boys. This problem doesn't seem to cross the racial boundary as much. I look forward to hearing the theories on why this is.
