Ten years ago, baby-faced men were passed over in Hollywood for rugged looking stars with more traditionally masculine looks.
But today more feminine-looking actors with delicate features, shorter stature and symmetrical faces are more in demand because they appear to younger viewers, experts claim.
Gen Z audiences are drawn to celebrities like Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles who embody a 'brand of enlightened non-toxic masculinity', according to beauty expert Laura Kay.
Their symmetrical, heart-shaped faces also make them more photogenic and therefore more popular on Instagram, which has become a key part in the Hollywood marketing machine.
These non-traditional leading men also benefit because younger generations are more tolerant of things which would have seen as 'abnormal' in the past, such as height differences or attitudes to gender, says dating and relationship expert Alex Mellor-Brook.
Tom Holland, 25, who is dating his co-star Zendaya, also 25, for example, is 5ft 8in, shorter than one might expect for a Hollywood A-lister, while Harry Styles, 27, proudly steps out in feminine clothing and has released a range of nail polishes.

I remember the waterfall at the pool. That was cutting edge in 1974
Tom Holland is not effeminate. Not sure why he’d be compared with Harry Styles, who intentionally cross dresses as part of some gender fluid agenda.
Tom Holland is not part of that, to my knowledge.
Never heard of her.
No no no..
True
My one set of millennial neighbors are fairly ok people but I swear they looked like they were goign to piss themselves last year when they watched me bear hug a washing machine and lift it into the back of my truck—and I am likely as old as their parents.
The Hollyweird conclusive idiotic market extension of
Brokeback Mountain. According to Willie Nelson “That s—t ain’t right”. Bum a smoke but lay off a my rope:

“I remember the waterfall at the pool. That was cutting edge in 1974.”
It was still there 10 years ago and the indoor/outdoor pool, too. The golf course was decent last time I played it. But that was years ago. There’s talk of handing the property over to the DuPage County Airport but I don’t know where that stands. I don’t believe it’s contiguous, but I could be wrong.
Indian Lakes in Bloomingdale is closed, too. The Village is having a hell of a time figuring out what to do with the property. No water or sewer infrastructure and it’s surrounded by residents who don’t want another 150-200 homes clogging up the already crowded surface streets.

We call them Nancy Boys.
Ya. That’s about right. Well I know what my silly sisters are filling their minds with.
Movie stars have always been tiny people with big heads.
Another pretty boy who has matured: Jude Law. Not just the hair loss; seeing him in “Black Sea” was astounding, no longer pretty, but still gorgeous, at least to this lady of a certain age!
Ahhh - Rip!!!
Thanks for stating the truth, now I don’t have to write that in my reply post.
When the subject is “toxic masculinity,” why does the left always ignore its most pernicious manifestation: the rap gangsta culture, a culture of misogyny, drug use, absentee fathers, early death, and crime?
Our civilization is ENDING.
Yup. He’s an athlete. And seems like a genuinely nice guy, trying to do the right things.
FWIW, I don’t hate Harry Styles. I don’t think he’s helping with the gender confusion our kids are experiencing these days, but there is a lot to like about the guy.
Soy Boyz uber alles!!!
Just shows that young girls are the ones watching movies. All the heart throbs from the 60’s and early 70’s were effeminate or less than macho guys like Davy Jones (Monkees), Paul McCartney (the “Cute One” of The Beatles), Herman’s Hermits, Bobby Sherman, David and Shaun Cassidy, etc.
