A lot kids have that first moment when they're young when they see an actor musician or character in a film that inspires them, and represents what is to be a man. I got this feeling when I watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid for the first time. Sure they're bad role models but I just loved their devil may care attitude. Also their humour and masculine energy and when I was young I wanted to grow up to be just like them, minus the whole train robbing business. Another person who represented masculinity and manhood to me growing up was Bruce Springsteen. I'm grateful I grew up when I did rather than in today's world of YouTubers and people who describe themselves as influences. Who represented manhood to you growing up?
Movie characters that inspired you growing up
For me it was from a tv show Special Agent Dale Cooper, i started drinking black as a moonless night coffee because of him.

It's either Tom Laughlin's character Billy Jack or one of the many characters Chuck Norris played. My dad was a huge western and action fan so that was my first exposure to cinema.
