10 Action Movie Characters Every Guy Wishes He Could Be

10. Leonidas

€œNah I€™m good. I think I am going to pass on being the King of one of the most iconic ass kicking civilizations ever to live and the chance to be chiseled like I am made out of granite.€ Those words are certain to never be spoken by any guy asked if they would like the opportunity to become King Leonidas for a day. And it is pretty evident as to why for anyone who has seen the film 300. Leonidas is a man among men. He is filled with honor, loyalty, and the willingness to defend his people to the death against insurmountable odds. What more he enjoys doing it! He looks forward to it! Now that is a man right there. To stare death in the face the way he does and how he gets his men to follow him in doing so is something that is most admirable, and an asset men respect in one another. A plus to being Leonidas would be the opportunity to kill hundreds of enemies yourself before your heroic death. And frankly who would pass up the chance to scream €œTHIS IS SPARTA!€ in some dudes face as you kick him down an endless pit to the his death?

9. Jack Sparrow

Every guy at some point in their life has wished he was a pirate. And even though he was not portrayed the stereotypical way we would have initially envisioned, Captain Jack Sparrow is still the pirate guys wished they could be. The idea of boarding a ship, pulling up anchor, and sailing the open seas to anywhere you want is an intoxicating notion. The sheer freedom one would have is something all men at some point in their life longs for, especially during the trapped feeling today€™s shrinking world can often leaves us with. Captain Jack Sparrow is a true pirate in all sense of the word. He is not just a pirate for the sake of a €œprofession€ concerned solely with the stealing and looting aspect. No, he lives for the pirate lifestyle. He roams port to port, doing as he pleases, drinking rum and making acquaintances with the ladies at each stop. Guys all wish that wherever we went we had a woman scorn coming after us looking for a payback slap to the face like Jack has. It would mean we are still worth being that upset and angry over. And that boost to our ego is something no one would say no to. Did I mention how as Jack Sparrow you would get to drink rum all day, every day?
