Although he's not a fashion icon, Giannis Antetokounmpo would be my choice. After reading a biography written about him, I was impressed by his story. For example, he wore the same pair of sneakers for the first half of his rookie year. When his coach asked why he was wearing broken-down shoes when he was provided with new ones each game, he found out that Giannis was sending all the sneakers to his brothers in Greece. He was also sending all of his money to his family, to the extent that he wasn't eating enough to put on weight and muscle. Before the NBA, he endured poverty, homelessness, and racism in Greece. He also seems like such a nice, humble guy.
Some people forget that they have to put on their own oxygen mask before helping those around them.
Khabib Nurmagomedov a classic example of humility and maturity
Excellent
I know you said 5 but Jason Statham should have been added as a bonus in this video. He's an elegantly well dressed man, has good manners and has that rough edge because of his physical abilities.
I have been following your channel for two months. You are adding great value to my life. Thank you very much.
Thank you 🙏 That means a lot for me to hear!
My recommendation is Robert Pattinson he is young and popular. But he is a modern gentlemen imo. He also has no social media, he has amazing style and takes his work seriously.
I cannot say I have known much about Robert Pattinson since I went to see Twilight when I was 12 😂 But I appreciate your recommendation and will look more into him!
@@Gent.Zcan't tell about others. But David Beckham is truly the best inspiration. He is a G and dresses like one. I never seen any arrogant clips of him. Plus he's married to his wife unlike his other football counterparts except for Messi . I recommend him too
@@Gent.ZRobert Pattinson was killing the gentlemen look during the Batman promotional campaign guy was killing it with those long wool coat looks. If you want to check anything out it’s. Diffidently that Batman era red carpet appearances.
Great video. I'd love to see you talk about Robert Downey Jr. He's such a dapper gentleman, and he does an amazing job of being charismatic while also being very private. According to his costars he is a very kind person.
Thank you, Sir! A great suggestion too. Btw, I saw you joined my channel membership. Thank you for your support. Sadly it was not proving to be a very manageable idea on my part, and I decided my content should be available for everyone! So you will be receiving. a refund shortly on that.
I suppose anyone could look good if you skip over their drug-related problems and run-ins with the law.
Totally agree with the list! Tom Ford would have been a good addition though!
Mr.Murphy did incredible job in Openhimer
I really appreciate the work and effort you put into these videos. You are truly inspiring me to become a Gentleman......
Another great video Gent Z. All excellent examples. Beckham sealed it for me when he was interviewed, waiting for hours to pay his respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II. I see you are wearing my favourite sports coat. I have a vintage brown Brooks Brothers sports coat, and it sure gets a lot of use at this time of the year. You definitely could do more videos like this with other style icons/role models.
Being a man in his mid fifties, like Daniel Craig and Keanu Reeves, I hold these 2 men especially close to my heart in both their behaviour and sartorial style. Beckham I also like for exactly the reasons you have stated. Good video.
The mexican singer Luis Miguel is the epitome of a gentleman. He’s dated Salma Hayek, Mariah Carey, Daisy Fuentes, Miss universe Alicia Machado, Sofia Vergara etc etc. but he’s always been low key and dresses impeccably.
00:41 🏆 David Beckham exemplifies resilience, impeccable style, and philanthropy, teaching the importance of personal presentation, responsibility, and positive impact. 02:46 🎬 Daniel Craig showcases authenticity, dedication, and privacy, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself and maintaining dignity amidst fame. 04:50 🌟 Keanu Reeves epitomizes humility, resilience, and continuous self-improvement, demonstrating the power of kindness and authenticity both on and off-screen. 06:53 🎾 Roger Federer embodies sportsmanship, hard work, and philanthropy, emphasizing the value of grace, respect, and making a positive impact beyond one's achievements. 08:30 🎭 Cillian Murphy exemplifies humility, dedication, and privacy, illustrating the importance of authenticity, choices, and maintaining personal life amidst success.
Thank you for emphasizing HUMILITY. Very rarely anymore do we hear that word in connection with role models.
Great job and excellent choices.
Great choices.
New favourite channel. Thanks, and keep up the great work 👍🏼
Excellent bookend to your previous video. Great choices and illustrates perfectly how the values and traits of both groups will never go out of style.
Great video!!
Thanks, Jay
I only recently have discovered your channel. I must say i am hooked thank you.
Thank you very much!
I’ve enjoyed listening to Guy Ritchie’s thoughts on masculinity, dress, and overall philosophy.
Guy Ritchie definitely has some interesting thoughts on this topic. I think that could merit a whole video
Please do it, you will also have to cover Brunello Cucinelli at least superficially and why Guy is a flagbearer of the brand
Lovely content my friend! I truly agree with your choices. Personaly, I prefer David Beckham, because I try to look always of is live between the years. When he was a football/Soccer player, and now he have the best tema Squad on North América. Big hug from Azores.
Este canal es lo mejor que he descubierto este año! Felicidades 🤩
I agree with your choices on this list, so I’m not trying to second - guess you, but I’m surprised to not see George Clooney in this segment. If there’s one movie actor working today who’s a modern - day Cary Grant it’s him. I hope you do a video about him sometime soon.
Cilian Murphy
Please...more videos like thia
This might be a bit esoteric, but Georges St Pierre is definitely a modern gentleman, especially considering his line of work.
Great choices. Roger Federer is top for me. I miss watching him play tennis. A true gentleman on and off the court. Cheers Ron
U should make another list with another 5
Sounds like a good plan!
Thank you for the video! My personal role model is Lewis Hamilton (since I'm a former sim-racer myself, I've learnt so many things from his driving that it even changed the way I view the world. So, he has a great impact on my whole life). Of course, when it comes to fashion, he prefers modern and expensive designer clothing (he's also a designer himself). But on the human side, he reminds me of Keanu Reeves, like he spends more time with his fans than all the other 19 F1 drivers together, he has founded his own charity program, showed the world how to get up after falling down while being stronger than ever before, and other amazing things. Even after winning the 7th world title, the first thing he said on the radio was "That's for all the kids out there... who dream the impossible. You can do it too man! I believe in you guys, thank you so much!". I mean, it's hard to not love this guy, especially when you know his roots and how hard it was for him to get to the top of the world through racism, lack of money and support, hard trainings, and unbelieving from his peers and teachers, what a man. Being 1 point behind from becoming the world champion in the rookie year in formula 1 is just incredible, he'll never lose my support and respect for all he's done on and off track.
This list is my list as well. Kudos. I have been a fan of David Beckham since the Batch of 92 until now, I hope he gets knighted. I am more of a Cillian and Keanu but i love them all.
Thank you! I believe it is only a matter of time before he is knighted
Good choices, particularly Roger Federer, an absolute gentleman. I have a couple of suggestions from my age group. George Clooney and Hugh Jackman are both classy.
You lost me at Clooney the Looney. Everyone's entitled to their political beliefs, but it is not humanly possible for anyone with a p-nis longer than a half an inch to taunt someone for having Alzheimer's disease. That's irrefutable settled science.
Thanks for the video ! How is moving to New York, did you manage to do so ? Hope life is ok !
Cheers! Moving next week!
I'd go with Jordan Peterson and Novak Djokovic. Both men stood up to cowards at the risk of everything. All while retaining dignity, grace, and style.
I do not have any friends at all , I personally do not need total strangers in my personal life, as you know people gossip and they use their information from you against you. My close tight family is all I need in my life no judgement, we respect each other and tolerate everyone's differences in the family. Friends use you and leave you they can not get anything from you.
Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington
Denzel for sure!
Only a true gentleman can scratch his balls and pick his nose and still not lose his gentleman status.
Great work. Great choices. As a Canadian, don't want to sound like a hater, but interesting that an American does not make your list. Coincidental?
Cillian Murphy is around my height. So if we can look dapper, so can I.
Lemmy Kilmister. John Lydon. Jim Morrison. George Carlin. Michael Hutchence. John's the only one still alive.
U should have even put Cristiano ronaldo .... A man with determination , commitment and sheer willpower
Marc Anthony, Jay-Z, Byron Allen, Idris Elba, Shannon Sharpe, Rev. Al Sharpton, Ben Crump
Keanu Reeves is a famous actor, but he's just as famous for riding the subway and letting pregnant or older women have his seat, for pulling over on the express way and changing people's flat tires, etc. I would add to the list Shaquille O'Neal. He routinely finds people in need and buys them stoves and refrigerators, washing machines, etc. And he never asks for publicity.
Ryan Gosling would be a good choice. More of a modern American Gentleman choice would be people like, Bradley Cooper, and Matthew McConaughey. Brad Pitt is also good, I like Leonardo di caprio, but more of his style and less of his habits.
Brad Pitt george clooney will Smith denzel Washington
Thank you! Great suggestions
I think you should remove Will Smith from this list. I'm sure Chris Rock would agree with me.
As i said previously one incident shouldnt overshadow his whole career or majority of his career where he has been the ultimate gentlemen and the chris rock incident shows his humanity because to be a gentleman all the time everyday isnt the easiest thing to do
You lost me at Clooney the Looney. Everyone's entitled to their political beliefs, but it is not humanly possible for anyone with a p-nis longer than a half an inch to taunt someone for having Alzheimer's disease. That's irrefutable settled science.
Henry Cavill is another modern idol.
Henry Cavill should also be here.
If you want the perfect example of a gentleman look to Jesus, he is the absolute pinnacle of a gentleman.
While Beckham may be a great guy, I don't think neck and finger tattoos is an aspirational choice for gentlemen in training. His excessive tattoos distract and conflict with his great sartorial instincts.
Next time, mix up the professions a bit more - using actors is a bit unfair as it is difficult to differentiate their screen personas from their real life can be difficult. Using athletes is more reasonable, because it is easy for a super-star athlete to reveal himself as a complete asshole, or to demonstrate grace under pressure. How about including a business leader, a politician and thinker (author or academic)?
I just do not like his tattoo all over his body though looks unclean, generally speaking people who have tattoo are untrustworthy people , I would not employ someone in my business wearing a tattoo , period.
Disagree with Daniel Craig. He does dress well, so kudos to his wardrobe consultant, but he's as weak as they come.
Hey man , love your content. I have certainly upgraded my style thanks to your videos. I would love to follow you on insta but the link is not currently working best regards
