You won't believe these Hollywood gentlemen are unapologetically feminist

When you think of feminism, you might not immediately think of men, but in Hollywood, many A-list hunks are proudly part of the movement and passionate supporters.

From proudly identifying as feminists to supporting female-led initiatives, these Hollywood gentlemen such as Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Styles, and Justin Baldoni, are unapologetically hard-core feminists.

Celebrating men's contributions to feminism, here is a list of Hollywood heroes championing women's rights:

David Schwimmer

The Friends star is a hard-core feminist!

The 58-year-old actor, who is a director of a centre for rape victims in California, credits his social activism with having grown up in a strong female household.

Interestingly, Schwimmer’s mother is also a feminist activist and lawyer and he also cites his mother and sister as examples of women who have shaped his perspective.

Harry Styles

The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker is a proud feminist.

Besides calling on his fans to support the #HeForShe campaign, Styles was once asked in an interview if the band (his former One Direction band) have a system in place if they like the same girl.

In response, the As it Was crooner said, "We feel like that objectifies women. And that’s not really what we’re about."

Mark Ruffalo

The Hulk star has literally penned an essay on reproductive rights, citing his mother's own illegal abortion and his two daughters as the reason for his passionate feelings.

"I am a man. I could say this has nothing to do with me," he wrote, adding, "Except I have two daughters and I have a mother who was forced to illegally have an abortion in her state where abortion was illegal when she was a very young woman. It cost $600 cash."

Ruffalo went on to say, "It was a traumatizing thing for her. It was shameful and sleazy and demeaning. When I heard the story I was aghast by the lowliness of a society that would make a woman do that.

"I could not understand its lack of humanity; today is no different."

Ryan Gosling

Gosling has always expressed his disappointment with the film industry's censoring of female sexuality.

"You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression," said the Barbie actor, adding, "And yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on-screen."

He did not stop here as the La La Land star expressed, “The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex."

According to the Fall Guy actor, it's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self and he considers this an issue that is bigger than this film.

Andy Samberg

It's fair to say that the Brooklyn 99 star is the first Jewish feminist male comedian!

In an interview with Glamour, our favourite Jake Peralta said that the only reason people think that is because "f--king idiot-ass men keep saying that women aren’t funny."

"It makes me crazy, Samberg noted, adding, "I find it disgusting and offensive every time."

Tom Hardy

Hardy identifies as a feminist! Once moviegoers questioned the Venom actor on Mad Max: Fury Road's feminist undertones, saying "As you were reading the script, did you ever think, 'Why are all these women in here? I thought this was supposed to be a man's movie!'"

Hardy replied, "No. Not for one minute." Insert clapping emoji here.

Chris Martin

He Coldplay’s lead singer beside being a great singer has taken two major mind-blowing steps; signed on to curate the Global Citizen Festival until 2030 and being committed to seeing an end to gender inequality.

Last year, Global Citizen joined Coldplay on their “Head Full of Dreams” Latin America tour campaigning to Level the Law and end discriminatory laws targeting girls and women.

“Together with Coldplay’s support, Global Citizen raised awareness to put an end to sexist laws and support equal rights for girls and women around the world,” its statement read.

Ian Somerhalder

Somerhalder has publiy expressed his views and participated in campaigns to support women's rights and end violence against women.

Moreover, the Vampire Diaries actor is a humanitarian and activist who co-founded the Girls Impact the World Film Festival, which focuses on global women's issues.

Somerhalder once told She Knows magazine, "Women can be wives, mothers, comedians, bioengineers, hackers, auto mechanics… the pressure should not be on fitting stereotypes and norms, but instead the pressure should be on launching yourself toward your true passions during the short time we have on this planet,"

He added, "While it seems pretty meta and grand in thinking, once we step back and really acknowledge the pointlessness of role stereotypes and the necessity of true passion, the world around [us] is liberated in every direction."

Ashton Kutcher

Kutcher has delivered a powerful speech shedding light on the atrocities of human trafficking in which 80% of whom are female.

Moreover, the No Strings Attached actor is the co-founder of Thorn, which uses technology to end child trafficking which eliminates violence that targets a majority of women sends a clear and proactive feminist message.

Justin Baldoni

Baldoni, despite fighting a legal case against sexual harassment claims, has been a crystal clear on his stance of being a feminist.

"Tears fill my eyes as we watch our US women make history! I spent my life playing this sport, and now I pray that Maiya will grow up in a world where women will draw as big of a crowd as the men," the It Ends with Us actor shared on his Instagram once, adding, "I have big dreams for my little girl... I have big dreams for our world," he shared via Instagram."

Jason Momoa

The Aquaman actor, who used to be called a "pretty boy” while growing up, can empathise with being objectified, especially in the New York Post interview.

"I wasn’t raised by a man. I was raised by a single mother my whole life. It’d be ridiculous for me to say that I didn’t believe in [feminism.] They’re the strongest beings in the world," said Momoa during an interview.

Daniel Craig

Craig advocates for equal treatment and respect for women of all ages and even called out his own character as James Bond.

"Let's not forget that he's actually a misogynist," he told Red Bulletin, adding, "A lot of women are drawn to him chiefly because he embodies a certain kind of danger and never sticks around for too long."

Eddie Redmayne

The Good Nurse actor, who has often faced backlash during his career for playing LGBT+ and queer characters, has been a vocal supporter of the #HeForShe since the movement started.
