Kevin Sorbo ignited a contentious discussion by voicing his apprehension regarding the perceived absence of traditional masculinity among Hollywood actors. The 65-year-old actor, most renowned for his iconic portrayal in the 1995 series “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” articulated in an op-ed for Fox News that there has been a notable shift in the American film industry, suggesting that traditional male roles have been underappreciated compared to two decades ago.
He wrote, “In reality, what America currently requires are individuals who embody qualities of strength, responsibility, and devotion as fathers. We require men who are prepared to foster their children, safeguard their households, provide for their loved ones, and exhibit selflessness, all of which can become difficult when they are sidetracked and ensnared by excessive indulgence. Sorbo also emphasized the importance of presenting role models for boys in Hollywood and suggested that the industry should promote these ideals through its film making.
After his opinion piece was published, a considerable number of social media users voiced their criticism of Sorbo’s perspectives concerning men in Hollywood.
In his conclusion, Sorbo said Hollywood needs to recreate images of good men who feed and protect their wives and children, advocate for justice, and fight for the rights of the weaker behind the scenes, he added, “men who put their own interests ahead of those of others.” .” It should be noted that Sorbo is not limited to the red carpet, and can promote these values in a variety of ways.
