Desirable characteristics are redefined or – even more aptly – exonerated
It is not many years ago that this was the male standard or at least the one that prevailed over others. Today, at a time when steps are being taken to break stereotypes, desirable characteristics are being redefined or, more aptly, exonerated.
Boys more emotional, more fragile, boys who fall to their knees and cry, not in the superficial romantic sense, but in the realistic sense, boys who don’t struggle to fit into the boxes imposed on them by society, these are today’s loveable boys and the following names are certainly a clear representation of them.
Timothée Chalamet

It was the spring of 2018, when we were all crammed into a dark room to see the new film by Luca Guadagnino, “Call me by your name”, about the tender summer love of two men against the backdrop of the Italian countryside, a movie-hymn to what it’s like to fall in love for the first time, when everything is new.

Chalamet’s deeply emotional role as seventeen-year-old Elliot was enough, combined with his close appearances in films by famous directors such as Greta Gerwig (Ladybird, Little Women) and Woody Allen (A rainy day in New York), to to start looking more into who this new face is with the great acting skills and renaissance beauty.

Bold appearances on the red carpet followed, with always unconventional outfits, each time more and more sexy, the highlight of which was last year’s crimson, backless look at the Venice festival, and bold covers like the one of Vogue, which had us posting them with quoting skinny emojis. It was recently announced that she is the new face of Channel for its fragrance.

Paul Mescal

His name has been heard a lot in recent months, after his appearance in “Aftersun”, a film that knows how to scratch wounds and “hit” you where you least expect it, a role that also earned him his first Oscar nomination .
Our first acquaintance, however, with this “mysterious” and somewhat melancholy boy from Ireland was not there. It was in the middle of quarantine, when we were all desperately looking for a refuge – where else – in Art. We could talk for hours about “Normal People” and the way it sucks you in and makes you become “one” with its protagonists.

Mescal there fleshed out Cornell, a charismatic and complex character who often struggles to balance his confidence and fragility, two concepts that go hand in hand and alternate. There is nothing more charming than a man who is not afraid to be vulnerable, who struggles between humility and insecurity, who expresses his darkness and struggles to come out into the light, but most of all who recognizes that showing your feelings is not weakness, but strength.
Mescal has so far tackled roles that outline the above persona very well, with his next step a variation of “Carmen” in a more indie version. And we can’t wait to see if his musical talents will reward us.

Grian Chatten
Check out this Instagram post.
Chatten at first glance is clearly the toxic, emotionally unavailable boy who will break your heart. At a second he might still be that, but he’s also a boy who has written some of the most introspective and emotional lyrics of recent years, which could even be described as poetic.
“When I make my move, you’ll know,” he sings on one of his recent solo releases, and it makes us wonder what that would be like…
