When Grown Men Cry (13 Famous Actors)

Robin Williams

What do grown men look like when they cry? Photographer Sam Taylor-Wood handpicked some of Hollywood's leading film actors and took fascinating portraits of them as they bared their emo side and shed some tears.

"Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult, said Taylor-Wood. "People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake. It's about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side."


Laurence Fishburne


Daniel Craig


Ed Harris


Benicio del Torro


Forest Whitaker


Dustin Hoffman


Gabriel Byrne


Steve Buscemi


Robert Downey Jr.


Jude Law

What I have looked at here is actors pretending to cry. Daniel Craig has the only photo that to me looks genuine, whether that is the skill of the actor, the eye of the photographer or simply chance I cannot say.

Beautiful !!! Honoring the full range of our emotions by expressing them authentically is life affirming. I truly believe that a good cry for whatever reason is a plus in promoting good health in men.

I hate to see anyone cry, for real that is!
Love Paul Newman, a legend of an actor, "Cool Hand Luke", one of his best films!!
