Is Brad Pitt a hard man
or will smith or Matt Damon or Christian Bale, etc....
Truth is the guys get more top roles when in their mid 30s to 50s..
Same can't be said for the women..
There was a time the Nicole Kidman, Jolie, Sandra Bullock etc, ruled the screen but they've aged and no longer in demand like they were before...
Margot Robbie is the current 'It'.
Why are you finding it hard to accept i wouldn't know

Sexism and patriarchal culture.


Women are mostly valued for their beauty in a patriarchal society and so, when they get older, they are less useful and will get less useful roles- they will only get 'old woman maternal roles'.

Men on the other hand have other values ascribed to them apart from handsomeness. There is intelligence and strength. Tell me why Sylvester Stallone can still get mad roles despite his age and speech disability?

Wouldn't call it sexism really.
Truth is generally Men can still be fit and good looking going into 40s-50s. than the ladies...
Also you have to factor movie goer's.... No one wants to see a 50yr old Nicole Kidman in a bikini acting all lovey lovey roles....
At the end of the day, movies are there to sell tickets and make money

brad pitt recently played a hard man role in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD and has been playing that role intermittently all his life.

matt damon became a household name by portraying jason bourne (a hard man role) and reprised the role several year later when he was well into his 40s. he played a villain in INTERSTELLAR and has been playing a hard man intermittently all his life.

will smith is synonymous with hard man roles. he only knows how to play them.

christian bale recently played a hard man in FORD VS FERRARI.

yes, guys generally get more leading role than gals in hollywood for the fact that it's a boy's club, but saying that female actors cease to be relevant when they are middle aged is just sheer ignorance.

google the following; julianne moore, helen mirren, laura dern, laura linney, renee zellweger, cate blanchett to get acquainted with reality.

middle aged women are still leading films, just because their films fly under the radar doesn't mean they are not popular anymore. in the right circles and demographic they are still very much popular.

very sexist comment. what is it with nairalanders and female hate

nicole kidman doesn't look her age at all. she looks early 40ish. she is still a sex symbol in some circles.

there are alot of middle aged hollywood actresses that don't look their age and look even younger than younger male actors.

Calm down bro...
Female hate.....lol
It seems you have a thing for Nicole, I'm not judging....
Nicole Kidman was just an example, replace her with Jolie, Stone, Aniston, whatever point still stands..
Nicole isn't as relevant as she was back in the 90's
She played up to her sex symbol in movies like Eyes wide shut and Batman forever.
That's the point....
No wants to see a sexualized Kidman in this time..

Brad was basically shirtless for the girls in Once upon a time....

You mentioning bourne of over a decade ago...
Matt Damon was selling Cars in Ford vs Ferrari, not exactly a hard man role either

bro it goes beyond that.

in movie and television industry, it's a common occurrence to strip beautiful actresses down to their basest versions through makeup so that they can fit their roles to a t.

this is chalize theron in 2003


this is her in the movie MONSTER (2003)


if not that i knew she played the lead role in that movie, i wouldn't have recognized her.


another top example is patricia arquette.

this is her in 2018...



this is her in EXCAPE AT DANNEMORA (2018) & THE ACT (2018)


notice the difference?

this is exactly what happened to nicole kidman in that pic kendrick93 posted.

seems like we both have different interpretations of what constitutes a hard man.

in my own understanding, a hard man role is a tough guy role. brad pitt played a tough guy in ONCE UPON A TIME...

matt damon reprised jason bourne 3 years ago. he was 46 years old.



fyi. a hardcore race driver is a tough guy role.
