7. rachel maddow

my burberry tights (get bent), Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:46 (sixteen years ago)

P.S. the first paragraph of that Bruce Jay Friedman is a highly recommend argument in Eastwood's favor here

Also I think the main exercise of this thread will be to prove that Idris Elba is in fact the western world's manliest celebrity, I mean there is an entire Tyler Perry movie that is basically just about how captivatingly manly he is

nabisco, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:46 (sixteen years ago)

I do not know who to nominate, but I would point out that actors should be excluded because they wear pancake makeup.

Aimless, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:46 (sixteen years ago)

So are you done with Season 3 yet, Nabisco?

jaymc, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:51 (sixteen years ago)

Haha this thread was honestly inspired by half a Tyler Perry movie, not The Wire! Though yes, we are into Season 4 now, wherein the shoe's manliness mantle has been passed on to Cutty

nabisco, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:52 (sixteen years ago)

how have we gotten this far with no mention of the Nuge?

(That's right, The Wire is a kind of shoe. A television shoe.)

nabisco, Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:54 (sixteen years ago)

A manly television shoe.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama (max), Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:58 (sixteen years ago)

max, Terrible Ted has not actually dabbled in mixology. you may be thinking of the fact that he is an avid sportsman and bowhunter.

cameron carr, Thursday, 2 October 2008 01:03 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, I think that is indeed Selleck.

There should be a thread just for celebs hawking products, whether in their salad days or just because it used to be acceptable. Or in Japan!

cameron carr, Thursday, 2 October 2008 01:08 (sixteen years ago)

Whoa, off-topic a bit, but super-cool, because I did not realize that they had put all these old Mike Wallace interviews online:

http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/collections/film/holdings/wallace/

And yeah, what made me think of him is the way he smokes constantly throughout every show, and stops onece or twice in the middle to tell you what brand he smokes and how doctors recommend them. Not just a little ironic.

so glitchy (kenan), Thursday, 2 October 2008 01:17 (sixteen years ago)

Haha this thread was honestly inspired by half a Tyler Perry movie

i have cable too! --ok i forgot what channel it was on but my wife was watching that movie yesterday about idris the accused rapist. insufficient input. i still trust this thread was necessary

Several likely candidates here - but especially Tom Selleck (already mentioned upthread), masculinity personified in a commercial for Chaz aftershave, so named because it makes your nose bleed.
