Male actors who dressup act like girls/females? - Page 2

There have been several actors who have done this, including Ranbir Kapoor and others. I just find it really disturbing for some reason.

How can masculine guys act and dress up like girls, to my shock, even one of my favorite manly actors (Sunny Deol) has dressed up as a women in a movie, my God that was disturbing.

Does anyone else find this disturbing like me?

Not at all disturbing if it's done in good taste.. I am a fan of drag but while doing so many people tend to cross lines and make it vulgar.

Not disturbing, it looks absolutely funny.

Chachi 420 is funny.

WHAT?!!! are you living under rock.. Or are you joking?

The sheer Transphobia. Eff gender norms, anyone should be able to dress however they want to.

But I do despise the cheap played up gags under the garb of comedy in bw movies, often reeking of queerphobia.

Just cuz someone finds it disturbing doesn't mean they're transphobic or that it's an illegitimate opinion.

Like some others pointed out, crossdressing is not done in good taste in a lot of movies.

There's also that whole issue of the social notion of womanhood drags use as a vehicle to empower themselves but that's a different topic altogether.

Charlie Chaplin - A Busy Day

Robin Williams - Mrs. Doubtfire

Dustin Hoffman - Tootsie

Jerry Lewis - many roles

Eddie Murphy - The Nutty Professor

Arsenio Hall

Michael J. Fox - Back to the Future II

John Travolta - Hairspray

Tyler Perry

Monty Python actors

So many more I'm not including here.

Harry styles a prime example of doing something edgy just because he lacks a personality. Don't hide behind the phrase "toxic masculinity" without being open about your sexuality and use it to cross dress just to make yourself interesting. I don't see any problem when Gay people wearing dresses.

Same sex sexual attraction has nothing to do with cross dressing even if it's done for sexual fetishism and not comfort or style. The overwhelming majority of cross dressers are heterosexual.

Interestingly over the last century plus women cross dressing has been normalized to the point where it's not seen as cross dressing - it's just part of our wardrobe.

Fashion is ever changing.

The idea is not bad but the way it's executed in Hindi movies is. It's caricature, vulgar and cheap comic relief. They show use of oranges, apples which is not funny but idiotic. The story has no need to such antics.

The only make actor who has managed to look good infact beautiful is Ritesh Deshmukh👍🏼

literally this ... and now a days gender neutral fashion is becoming a rage and people of any gender can wear that regardless of their sexuality
