24 Unproblematic Men From Movies We Wish Were Actually In Our Lives Because They Left Us Swooning Over Their Charm
In this world, they're considered a rare breed.
Have you ever watched a movie and through the course of it, realize that you are developing a crush on a character? Well, we definitely understand that feeling—some characters are just too sweet and too charming to not swoon over!
And most of the time, it's not only because of their appearance, but because of wholesome and supportive their personality is as well. But let's face it, it's definitely a plus that they are extremely good-looking.
In our non-fictional world, it's rare to see men of this kind; ones that are genuinely kind, good-natured, and altruistic. Although there are still a lot of them here in this real world we live in, they just don't have the kind of appeal or charm that some men in movies have!
Yeah, yeah, we get it. These are fictional men, but one can dream, right?
Maybe it's the unexplainable charm of the actor, or the writing of the character's personality itself, but there really is something special about how unproblematic men are portrayed in the movies that make us have all the feels. We're used to seeing men being portrayed as having strong and steadfast personalities, so it's such a great sense of relief to see male characters being portrayed as having a softer side without having their masculinity threatened.
Now, without further ado, here are some of the best male characters in movies that we would all drop anything for just because they are them:
1. Kristoff from the Frozen movies:
"He was literally the best partner ever to Anna, even when she didn’t treat him the best. I love when he saves her and immediately asks what she needs, and also when he says his love isn’t fragile at the end! We need more men like him in movies!" —claire60000"He also has an entire song about his emotions and being vulnerable!!! Which no guy in Disney movies (or any movie, really) ever gets!!! We love the pushback against toxic masculinity!!!" —zshepherd31
Disney2. Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility:
"The way he looks at Marianne when he first sees her is breathtaking. He's kind and patient and is willing to do anything to ensure her happiness, even if it's not with him. And of course he’s played by the equally lovely Alan Rickman!" —mariagoretti415
Sony Pictures Releasing3. Poe Dameron from the Star Wars movies:
"He has the face that launched a thousand starships, and he seems like a great person that makes it a point to be nice to everyone. (Even if his character was butchered in later films, Resistance shows his nice personality a lot.)" —goosethekitty
Lucasfilm
4. Newt Scamander from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:
"He's a hero who is willing to stand up for what he believes in while also doing everything he can to avoid any harm to any living creature. He's kind, smart, and totally devoid of toxic masculinity." —theurbanearthworm
Warner Bros. Pictures
5. Rick O’Connell from The Mummy:
"He is so ruggedly charming and handsome and equally hilarious. I love his playful banter with Evie, and good lord, Brendan Fraser is a babe!" —rachelj43312bbe2"He's the himbo blueprint; we have no choice but to stan." —Anna Montana"His. Voice. I want him to just talk quietly in my ear as I drift off to sleep every night." —StipYit
Universal Pictures
6. Finn from the Star Wars movies:
"He's just so pure. He believes in doing what's right and will fight for people who are more disenfranchised than he is. The great thing about him is that he's the everyday kinda man — like, nothing more was really expected of him, but that doesn't stop him from striving to be good/better. —Spencer Althouse
Lucasfilm
7. Aladdin from Aladdin:
"Aladdin for sure. My favorite Disney male. Move over, Prince Charming." —discarlett
Disney
8. Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything...:
"He is literally the best movie boyfriend of all time. He was so sweet with Diane when they were dating, and really respectful to her dad even though he was kind of rude to him. He supported her after she found out about her dad, and was also supportive of his other female friends without being a creep about it!" —bookcrazy1234
20th Century Fox
9. Dopinder from Deadpool 1 and 2:
"He’s so sweet and innocent, with just a sprinkle of bloodlust. What more could you want?" —jamiet4f4a4957b
20th Century Fox
10. LeBron James as himself in Trainwreck:
"LeBron is SO FUNNY in Trainwreck. Not only is he one of the best parts of the movie, but he's such a pure friend to Aaron. I LOVE when he tells Amy he's going to ask a question, and then his comment is just, "Don't hurt him." He's so sweet and doesn't seem prideful or act like he's better than anyone, even though he's, you know, LEBRON JAMES." —hannahmarder
Universal Pictures
11. Jack from Titanic:
"It may just be because of young Leonardo DiCaprio, but man. With Jack's charm and charisma, and his overall existence, I melt every time I see him." —Orcalover21
Paramount Pictures
12. Nick from Crazy Rich Asians:
"Nick from Crazy Rich Asians is the whole package. He's handsome and sweet and respects Rachel as a person. In fact, after his family treats her poorly, he even offers to leave them all behind during his first proposal speech. Then he proposes a second time after gaining his mother's blessing, since he knows how important it is to Rachel. He was willing to give up a life of wealth and privilege to be with her, so he's already a winner in my book. But bringing his mother's ring to Rachel symbolizes that he'll work hard to honor Rachel's wishes in their marriage, and I absolutely love that."—Morgan Sloss
Warner Bros. Pictures
13. Steve Rogers from the Captain America and Avengers films:
"I’ve honestly tried to find a flaw and I just can’t, in the character or the actor."—AztecWater

"But also Keanu Reeves generally..." —jjaspen"Can I just pick Keanu Reeves IRL, like in his EVERYDAY existence as a human?" —GigiMomster
Netflix

"He and Charlie were the only unproblematic characters (and let's be honest, the only characters I liked) in the entire franchise." —zshepherd31
Summit Entertainment
16. John Ambrose from To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You:
"Literally, typing his name makes me swoon! Anyway, he is sincere and caring and always there to support Lara Jean, no matter what. It also doesn't hurt that he has the cutest smile in rom-com movie history, and he plays the piano... Name a better love interest. I'll wait!!!" —Kayla Yandoli
Netflix
17. Sam from the Captain America and Avengers films:
"He has been through some hard times himself but works to support others in the VA before Cap even shows up. He's always there, no questions asked, to help save the world whenever Cap asks. He's so loyal and just the best human being." —Hannanora-P
Marvel
18. Miles from The Holiday:
"He and Iris bonded over their crappy relationships and were each other’s shoulder to cry on and cheerleader throughout the movie." —madisonmurray1
Sony Pictures Releasing
19. Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid:
"Any guy willing to risk his life to save his dog is at the top of my list. He took care of Ariel when he thought she was a shipwreck victim, and then when he figured out that Ariel was the girl he had been dreaming about, he straight-up murdered the villain to save her. 'I lost her once; I'm not gonna lose her again.' Swoon." —monikap6
Disney
20. Aragorn from Lord of the Rings:
"He's the perfect man. Besides being the definition of scruffy handsomeness, he’s also badass while not being the typical testosterone-laden action hero. He is affectionate with his friends, willing to hug them and cry in front of them, and always respectful toward women, and none of it takes away from how incredibly manly he is. He’s the antithesis of toxic masculinity, really. And, he’s the King of Gondor." —julial11
New Line Cinema
21. Christian from Moulin Rouge:
"He set the bar way too high for me. I went to a midnight sing-along showing of Moulin Rouge a couple of years ago, and he still sets my heart aflutter." —jackalynd
20th Century Fox
22. Jesse from Pitch Perfect:
"He was so supportive of Becca and such a sweet guy!" —claire60000
Universal Pictures
23. Kevin G. from Mean Girls:
"He was so supportive of Cady joining the Mathletes, which at the time was a male group of academics (not usually a setting where girls are loved and wanted). Plus, he has SO much confidence in himself, which is refreshing to see in an Asian American character. He also had some of the funniest lines of the whole movie." —morganhightower97
Paramount Pictures
24. Peeta from The Hunger Games:
"I wish people wouldn't bash him for being 'weak' just because he's not as masculine and combative as Gale. He's been through so much, and yet he consistently sacrifices himself for Katniss and the cause. He's so pure and brave." —applesrobin13
Lionsgate Films
These characters are definitely a breath of fresh air from what we are all used to seeing because let's face it, not everybody wants to see the good old bad boy trope all over again—give us some of the wholesome men, too!
