10 Ridiculously Manly Movie Characters Who Drip Machismo
8. Richard White As Gaston - Beauty And The Beast (1991)
For better or worse Gaston will forever be Disney's most testosterone filled, chest thumping, alpha male that they have ever produced. He's a big, strong hunter that more or less gets all the women in his town. He brags quite frequently and shows off his super-manly chest hair almost as often. He's excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, status and vanity, mentally incapable to see the damage he causes to himself and to others in the process. Nevertheless, he's still a well-loved man and has the entire town on his side (which really says a lot about that town). Gaston is unlike any other Disney villain before or after him simply because he doesn't begin the film that way. During the events of the story, and his rampant jealousy and insecurity, he ultimately transforms into the storys antagonist. Gaston is the pinnacle of handsomeness and high regard while being a huge jerk and dumb as a brick wall. The perfect example of manliness gone wrong.
