Daniel Day-Lewis has been honored as the Best Man in top health magazine Men’s
Health first Movie Awards for portraying manhood at its best in The Last of the Mohicans.
The Gangs of New York star made the movie adaptation of James Fenimore
Cooper’s novel 13 years ago but Men’s Health editors still judge his
portrayal of rugged Native American Hawkeye as the best example of true manhood
ever.
The magazine states, “Name a useful male trait and Hawkeye bleeds it: honor,
heart, humor, savagery, loyalty, fraternity, resiliency, cunning, mercy.”
Jim Carrey, Sean Connery and Marlon Brando are also among the stars
honored for portraying great men on big screen.
Carrey is recognized for his portrayal of a man coping with a love split in
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, while Connery is honored for showing
“balls” in The Untouchables.
Late great Brando‘s performance in The Godfather is recognized for showing
men they can be both macho and family men. Other stars honored in the
inaugural Men’s Health Movie Awards are Alec Baldwin (Glengarry Glen Ross),
David Carradine (Kill Bill Vol. 2) and Nicolas Cage (Moonstruck).
