Kevin Sorbo has branded Hollywood men ‘bumbling,
useless idiots’ with a ‘misunderstanding of masculinity’.
The Hercules: The Legendary Journeys actor, 65, who claimed to have been shunned
by Hollywood for his conservative opinions last month, wrote a controversial new essay for Fox News
in which he blasted ‘woke Hollywood’.
Taking particular aim at Timothée Chalamet, 27, and Billy Porter, 54, the star, who proudly noted that he made fame playing a Greek demigod, branded the current fondness for androgyny in fashion ‘the masculinity crisis’.
In his attack on the modern day male, he also insisted that feminists have ‘won’ when men ‘give into their base desires’, such as drink, drugs, video games and porn.
He penned: ‘It doesn’t really matter what end of the masculinity spectrum you fall on; if you’re a victim to your own base desires, the feminist culture has won. You’re exactly the kind of wussy man they (think they) want you to be.’

Kevin shot to fame with his starring roles as the titular character in Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys from 1995 to 1999, and as Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda from 2000 to 2005. He also starred in Xena: Warrior Princess.
In recent years, he has been a keen purveyor of Christian beliefs and conservative opinions – something he alleges has led to his ‘cancellation’.
His new op-ed on masculinity, will no doubt cause stirs thanks to his personal attacks on beloved Hollywood actors and fashion sweethearts Timothée and Billy.
Weighing in on their androgyous style, he wrote: ‘Society today seriously misunderstands masculinity… On the one hand, we love to normalize androgynous, Billy Porter-type men who sport skirts and poofy dresses…
‘GQ’s 2019 best-dressed man, Timothée Chalamet, for example, often wears clothes that your grandfather wouldn’t have been caught dead dressed like Chalamet.’
He went on: ‘Everywhere we look, bold, confident, self-assured females upstage passive men who recede quietly into the background…
‘Into the basement. Into the past, Fathers, in particular, have become the butt of every woke Hollywood jab, the bumbling, useless idiots who contribute nothing to their families or communities, but sacrifice themselves as objects of ridicule.’
Kevin alleged the depictions of men in Hollywood feature: ‘The brutish he-man who only abuses his strength and makes a mockery of masculinity.’

His new essay comes a month after Kevin said he has been ousted by Hollywood for his conservative opinions and Christian beliefs in an interview on Fox News.
The native Minnesotan claimed he and his agent had parted ways after the Andromeda star was ‘blacklisted.’
He said: ‘It was sad to me, you know, my manager and agent for so many years said that we can’t get you jobs anymore, work with you because of you being a Christian, being a conservative….
‘We have such a huge divide in our country right now, and it’s perpetuated by the mainstream media, perpetuated by movies, TV’.
