Australia has provided a rich seam of chisel-jawed “hunks” from which Hollywood studios have mined. But finally, we are now on the cusp of a new era of Aussie celebrity masculinity hollywood celebrity

“In the US we have this relatively asexual or unisex area with sensitive young men, and we don’t have many Channing Tatums or Chris Pratts, while the Aussies do. It’s a phenomena.”Getty

The 25-year-old Smit-McPhee is in the middle of his most successful awards season yet thanks to his role in Jane Campion’s highly praised, playing a creative, misfit, gentle teenage boy exploring his sexuality against a backdrop of toxic, self-loathing masculinity in America’s early 20th Century frontier country.

Smit-McPhee has also won supporting actor honours from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, making him the youngest ever person to achieve the feat. On the back of his success, the McPhee family relocated from Melbourne to Hollywood to help Kodi pursue his career, though key roles have brought him back to Australia, such as the 2015 drama TV seriesin which he played 17-year-old Thomas “Tolly” Johnson, who ages himself up so that he can enlist with his brother Bevan., a character whose older version was previously played by Alan Cumming.
