A quote I try to live by.
Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage. -Theodore Roosevelt
That's a great quote!
@@Gent.Ztrue
Don't try, live
Very good quote from one of my heroes!
A fun little thought; all these gentlemen started out from working class in humble positions in life. Food for thought.
Good point
Spot on. Archie Leach from the poorer parts of Bristol, Frank Sinatra from Hoboken. Even Roger Moore (I know that he’s not in this video) came from a very modest part of South London.
Lee wasn't. What are you on about? The guy was the son of a Colonel and was a Rupert in the Air Force
1962. I was in the 2nd grade in Vermont. The school gave a short course on "Growing up to be a proper gentleman". Boys were instructed about how to 'open a door for a lady', 'help her with her chair at a restaurant, penmanship, courtesy..etc. The boys liked the class...we wanted to grow to be as smooth as Cary Grant and as
'Rough & tumble as a 'real man'.. We would practice with the girls...lots of fun.
Social pleasantry, courtesy, respect & confidence... Reinforced by media, daily life, adults, parents.
Ten years later...every bit of came under femin*st attack. Now for over 50 years.
That’s an amazing post; I truly enjoyed it. To think that you were taught that and then practiced it. And you’re so right: it has all been trashed and tarnished by feminists over the past fifty years.
yes, I was trained as a boy to be a proper fine gentleman with manners back in the 60's however they unfortunately downgraded men and they don't teach these things to the new generation of girlie boys.
I was taught likewise those same manners. I do believe feminism has actively sought to destroy traditionalism in all its facets but I have vowed to myself to hold true to manners, decency and propriety. Could someone call me old fashioned for even chauvinist for displaying these masculine characteristics. Yes, but I say have at it! I will own my traditionalism and stand tall.
@@28pbtkh23 For years I made a 'judgement call'..about women and my 'gentlemanliness'. I finally just quit...
Well, old manners don't die. They just go dormant. Recently I noticed...when a woman thanks me for 'opening her door's..,women don't know how to act. When they are treated with such courtesy. They were never taught about 'feminine frame' or mature character. They were never taught how to 'be a lady'.
@@johnnie2638 I still open doors and allow Ladies to go first whether the like it or not 😏
Don't forget Orson Wells and Sydney Greenstreet. They showed how a very large man can still come off as gentlemanly and elegant. All too often big men give up and wear baggy sweats, etc. when they should try even harder. The same holds for older men. An older man carefully dressed and mannerly is someone to be respected and dealt with and not dismissed.
I completely agree with you. Whatever disadvantage you have in life, or aspect of yourself you are unhappy with, it can be improved by taking care of yourself
As a large gentleman myself, I appreciate this reminder, sir!
David Niven deserves an honourable mention
No Keanu Reeves? He may not dress like a traditional gentleman but he certainly carry’s himself like one.
He will be in my follow-up video about modern gentleman role models!
He also dresses like one.
One of my faves is Dean Martin, he seemed kind and had a great sense of humor and self-deprecation.
To refer to Cary Grant was enough. The ultimate male figure of a gentleman.
Indeed
Thank you for taking Christopher Lee in this
Oh no problem!
Refreshing to see the recognition of Sydney Poitier. While the other gentlemen are indeed icons, the challenges Sydney faced non of the others came close to. By the way, Sammy Davis, Jr could have easily made the list too. Good content man!
when in doubt- always look at Cary. He was perfect.
My favorite Christopher Lee bit is in a red carpet interview for LotR he is asked in german if he speaks german and he says 'no, I'm sorry I barely know anything' in an absolutely flawless and accent-free German.
Mr Lee had learnt some very interesting skills when in the military, which he never talked about in detail.
Lets just say ,he could handle a knife and unarmed combat skills to a very high standard even in his seventies.
Omar Sharif, Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart and Michael Caine just to name a few!
Errol Flynn? Are you kidding me?! Did you ever read up about him? He was far from a gentleman and there were numerous examples of it.
Vincent price was always a true man in my eyes.
Can't mention Lee and Price without including Peter Cushing; perhaps the ultimate GENTLE man.
Great choices. I agree with Ralph Lauren. You should stick with style and not fashion. These gentlemen can teach us a lot. Sidney Pointer was able to overcome the obstacles of racism in the 60s and rise above it. I watched these gentlemen as a kid in the 60s and they left an expression on me. I would also recommend Humphrey Bogart, David Niven Sean Connery Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. Cheers Ron
Thank you, Ron! There are so many other fine gentlemen I could have included in his video and I aim on making another one fairly soon
@@Gent.Z you picked some good ones.
Sean Connery is a bit iffy on the gentlemanly role model tip… The guy was a bit of physically abusive asshole.
@@eyespy3001 yes a little rough around the edges I must agree. Humphrey Bogart and especially David Niven are tops.
@@ronaldpoppe3774 David Niven did get a 15 year old girl pregnant, Margaret Whigham, the future Duchess of Argyle . That might not be considered to be ideal gentlemanly behavior in this day and age.
Are you aware of a gentleman by the name of Hugo Jacomet?
He is a style guru par excellence and has written books called the Parisian Gentleman and the Italian Gentleman. He has a couple of TH-cam channels, one in French and one in English I think. Sparkling chap.
Oh for sure! I'm a big fan of Hugo and his channel was a big inspiration for me in starting this!
Malcolm X had the look of a college professor and indeed once debated at Oxford and also spoke at various American universities such as Harvard. His formal education ended at eighth grade. But he learned how to debate at the highest level while in prison. That gentleman-and-scholar framed his advocacy for Black people worldwide in terms of "human rights" and natural law rather than mere "civil rights" which are defined by provincial government.
Malcolm argued that it doesn't make sense to go to the criminal to demand justice, i.e. the U.S. government which he argued should stand trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity. He pitted human-rights militance against civil rights activism as epitomized by Martin Luther King. Human rights vs. civil rights was what the debate between X and King was really all about. That said, he did advocate the Second Amendment as opposed to Gandhi-like nonviolence. In short, Malcolm was a man's man amongst intellectuals and no man since has had a more powerful decolonizing intellect. He's a role model especially for the aspiring intellectual who would change the world rather than publish or perish by academic journal.
They look up to “Actors” as gentlemen smhh …..we look up to proven real MEN!!! And Malcom definitely was one of those men
That’s a superb jacket you’re wearing.
Edit: I have just noticed the name of your channel. It’s truly inspired. There’s hope for the younger generations yet with men like yourself.
Vert good choices. I would add a movie star of the 1930s William Powell. Also Humphrey Bogart. A correction, if someone is knighted, given the title Sir. it's Sir Christopher or Sir Christopher Lee, never Sir Lee.
Christopher Lee, Jeremy Irons, and if I may add - Michael Atherton (not sure if you are much of a cricket person, but he is an absolute gent!).
Next time please mention 2 of the classiest actors ever lived Mr. Gregory Peck and Mr. James Stewart, in my humble opinion they were even more noble than Mr. Cary Grant.
... and you can also add to that James Mason
You forgot one of the greatest, Charlton Heston, my favorite
"Gentleman" is a label to which a man can aspire but one he can never apply it to himself. It must be applied by others. I spent 4 decades in radio broadcasting and through most of it I dressed down. After all no one see the person on the air so I took advantage of that circumstance & relegated myself to t-shirts & sweat pants as often as possible though I would dress accordingly for public appearances. But now in my 60s I've decided to remake myself and have begun a sartorial journey in which I've eschewed my old look for something more masculine, proper and gentlemanly. But the changes I've made are not only for myself but for those around me. I've determined to refocus on traditional values & manners. So I will hold open doors and be thankful & put others first. I don't wish to be a peacock. I wish to be a gentleman. This was a very inspiring video in no small part in that I too grew up in very humble circumstances in a loving family of very limited means.
Thank you for promoting this kind of ideal! The old-fashioned gentleman is a lost gem. I wish there would be a resurgence of traditional masculinity and class. I've committed to waiting for that type of guy for a husband. Cary Grant is one of my favorites. Being an old movie and TV show buff, I have many favorites. I could add Ronald Reagan, Gary Cooper, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Richard Boone, and David Janssen.
Hmm, Richard Boone and David Jansen.
Really obscure choices there... and very good ones.
@@gojira387 I love the show The Fugitive with Janssen. He's a strong, sensitive type of guy. And I like Richard Boone. He was called "the ugliest actor in Hollywood", but I disagree. Ruggedness is attractive to me. Beauty really is subjective!
@@annahenderson2155I have an indirect connection to David Janssen. I have family from the small town where he was born and have visited there many times.
"Have Gun-Will Travel" is probably my favorite television series of all time & Richard Boone's Paladin one of my top heroes and I think his role of John Fain in "Big Jake" is the Greatest Villain in John Wayne's extensive filmography.
Boone is the perfect example that the old cliche: "The camera either loves you or hates you," has nothing to do with how "handsome" you are. He could be strikingly handsome or fearsomely ugly and the camera caught all the nuances of either version.
Boone was a very interesting man, on and offscreen. He was fiercely independent & that stifled his career in many ways. Then his alcoholism ravaged his body & his talent. Which is a tragedy, he was legitimately one of the greatest actors of his time, drunk or sober.
Anyway, I'm always happy to find out I'm not the only person left who remembers these guys!
@@gojira387 That is so cool! Having connections to any of those great personalities is an honor. Amazingly, some of my relatives were entertainers in the old days too. My great-uncle, Bob Bain, was an amazing guitarist who played with the band on the Johnny Carson Show. He's the one playing the main themes to all the major shows of the day, like Bonanza, Peter Gunn, The Pink Panther, and The Munsters. It's humbling looking at his body of work. I wish I could have met him. My dad did and even sat with him in the studio a time or two.
So true about Richard Boone. As with several other stars of Old Hollywood (like William Holden and Alan Ladd), drinking and smoking sped up his aging and definitely hurt his career. It's sad that those folks allowed addictions or dissipation to rule their lives. But I appreciate the work they left behind. In my opinion, no actor or singer today compares with the classic performers. We just bought "Have Gun, Will Travel" on DVD, so I'm excited to start watching it.
Feel like Sean Connery could be added here
Too much James Bond image for me.
I would take Frank off this list. He almost killed Frederick Weisman with a telephone in 1966. (look it up, was messy, very ungentlemanly behavior...lol).
I would add William Powell in his place....by all accounts, in all remembrances and bios, a real gentleman.
Exactly. Sinatra a rare miss but a bad one by our esteemed poster !
Yes to William Powell
oh yes. Bill Powell.
growing up, I really had no one male model to learn from, all the men I grew up with had some good qualities but had more bad qualities that were very questionable. I picked up on the good qualities of being a decent man, and also took notes on not what to do- as for being a complete gentlemen, I observe the qualities from actors such as Cary Grant and the rest of those male actors from the gentleman era when movies glorified the proper gentleman. From it I had great relationships with women and compliments on being a great guy, great father and a fine gentleman with manners😊
Love Cary Grant I've tried to model myself after him by always being polite, friendly, self deprecating, funny, welcoming, courteous, well dressed and humble. These are wonderful attributes all of us should try to obtain.
Lauren started out selling neckties? He was a salesman at Brooks Brothers where he learned everything about classic mens clothing. The old school Brooks salesmen (all gone now that the store has been severely diminished) were often the epitome of the gentlemen. My father and I used to go to one, as I recall his name was Mr Dwyer, who had worked at Brooks for over fifty years.
Oh to go into a restaurant-car and find yourself seated with an Eve Kendall.
Good video.
Always exceptional content
Great stuff you go boy one love and peace to all the postive people in the universe love it keep-up the good work❤
Love it!
# 6. Give Me Steve McQueen the King of Cool.
Excellent thank you!
Apologies for just now seeing this. I agree with all of these, Lee of course being the favorite.
As to modern gentlemen, perhaps Henry Cavill. Keanu Reeves in terms of character.
You've got another subscriber. Keep up the great content.
Spot on. You are a good chap.
Cheers
"The superior man is he who develops in harmonious proportions his moral, intellectual, and physical nature. This should be the end, at which men of all classes should aim, and it is only this which constitutes real greatness." Douglas Jerrold
In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development will count, when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character." Theodore Roosevelt
Both excellent quotes
@@Gent.Z Thank you for your response, time, and consideration.
Excellent list....what people don't know...sidney poitier and cary grant were very close pals....2 of the greats..enjoy your weekend..peace

You’ll be at over one million subscribers within two years if you keep up this pace!

Thank you sir! People like you are making it happen!
The quote i live by is
Speak to a person in a way that if they die later, you will be happpy with what you said to them the last time you had a conversation
I hate to be that guy that mentions race and not trying to be woke but I’m so glad you mentioned Sydney Poitier in this list. As a coloured person myself, I’ve always adored the likes of James Bond but appreciate I’ll never be able to carry myself similar to the likes of Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan due to my skin colour. Despite being born in Britain I appreciate I’ll never be technically British but I appreciate the values of being a Gentleman and try my best to adhere to this at all times.
I agree with you about Sinatra's talent, work ethic, etc. But, I live in Las Vegas, and have met some still surviving, some who have passed, who worked with him, as employees, and one thing he was not, while dealing with those he could bully, was being a gentleman. At one famous Las Vegas restaurant, the Golden Steer, he would have people beat up. I got to know a talented singer who now has passed. She worked with Sinatra, and hated every bone in his body for his continual bullying of those he thought were beneath him. Most were women. They were easy targets of his uncontrollable ire. Sinatra's public persona was much different from the real "man."
Hi, I was hesitant to include Sinatra, as he certainly had a dark side. But he also had many admirable traits which I decided to focus on here, especially because I adore him as a musician so much.
@@Gent.Z He was wonderful, and I still hunt down Sinatra LPs. But, as the old joke stated, He was a great guy, just ask his fourth wife. Just like Jerry Lewis, I like to divorce the work from the man. Lewis' work was legendary. But, having met the man twice, well, he was not kind.
Per those who worked with the Rat Pack, Joey Bishop and Dean Martin were the favorites.
It's hard to be classified as a good honest men when he was connected to the mob.
He had his dark side for sure, if you were his friend all was okay, if you were his enemy-watch out! Frank ran hot and cold!
Nice video! I’d certainly have David Niven on the list too. 😉👍
Try to catch David Niven being interviewed on the Dick Cavett show on You Tube. Another great gentleman to emulate.
I laud your adoption of old money appearance, as a much needed hard shift from today’s pop trash casual aesthetic. But also feel that devotees are adopting the “look” without recognizing the requirement of generational wealth in continuing this tradition. Old money means that the families had rich fortunes made in days long ago, resulting in the familes living a lifestyle of ease but also of restriction and expectation. Children were expected to resemble their parents and follow in their footsteps. Thus - the prep boarding school (of which I have first hand experience) to further inculcate the traditions. Boys were expected to excel in business or professions like law, medicine, archtecture. So it wasn’t just a “look,” it was a representation of “class” - the upper class. My point is that dressing a certain way does not fully embody the historical old money aesthetic.
I would also comment that you have chosen film stars and singers as examples to follow, but in actuality the old money lifestyle would not unilaterally accept those professions as being suitable for their children. As you note, nearly all of your choices came from lower class environments. They were not born into generational wealth. As Cary Grant suggested in his quote, they are imposters.
I don’t think that Nat King Cole was a member of the Rat Pack. And you didn’t include Peter Lawford, whom you resemble greatly in appearance and speech.
Please do not take my comments as accusatory in nature. I just wanted to give more context. But I do laud your initiative in guiding young men in adopting a classic style in attire and manners. That shift is sorely needed in today’s society. Thank you for taking on this enormous challenge.
Young men of culture , i love to see it
Nice choices, i also would like to nominate David Niven.
Alain Delon, Jean Paul Belmondo, Marcelo Mastroiann
Jimmy Stewart , Clark Gable, Tyron Power, David Niven, and Humphrey Bogart are missing from the list.
Sir Christopher Lee was a huge Mario Lanza and opera fan, and despite his own protests to the contrary he spoke excellent German and a host of other languages.
Great quote by Grant. Also love Sinatra. My way is easily my favorite song because it represents this idea perfecrly
It does indeed! No wonder many people choose it as their funeral song.
Glad hear that you're a singer!
Alessandro Squarzi is a truly modern gentleman. I really like his wardrobe choices and his personality.
Yes, there are gentlemen out there, but becoming as precious as finding a diamond.
BEAUTIFUL
Greeting from Brazil . I was particularly pleased to remember two great actors I like very much: Sidney Poitier and Christopher Lee
Thank you!
SIdney P. was so very lovely.
Well chosen individuals. Truly Men that I absolutely respect & try to follow in their footsteps. I got a lot of work to do.
Thank you! Yes, they all show a lot of traits for us to admire. Although they weren't always angels themselves, I wish we had more role models like these men today
Thankfully, we have Gentlemen like yourselves on YT dropping knowledge on us. Bless you Sir for all that you do for us. You are most appreciated. Respect!@@Gent.Z
@@smackroscoe thank you kindly, sir
Christopher Lee , a truly legend
Jazz! This is a bit tangential, but I love jazz, and I was so sad when Tony Bennett died last year. Very cool that you're a jazz singer, you certainly have the voice for it, it must be something to hear! Great list, everyone you mention perfected classiness and was tremendously accomplished. As for popular role models alive today, I'm fond of Robert Downy Junior, Chris Hemsworth, and Ryan Gosling. I don't know a ton about them personally, but they conduct themselves well in interviews, and Gosling in particular often looks quite sharp. Sam Harris, neuroscientist and atheist author, while he certainly doesn't strive to be a style icon, dresses well enough and is a quiet philanthropist who donates millions and allows people to access both his podcast and his meditation app for free, even though those seem to be the bulk of his livelihood. I admire him tremendously and his impact on me is inestimable, I would probably never have gotten into mindfulness meditation if it wasn't for him. I respectfully disagree with him on some things, but that of course is no objection, and I very much agree with some of the messages he presses the most.
I'm that Cary Grant guy, with a bit of Philip Larkin and John Betjrman thrown in, and have been for decades. Men appreciate it, and people I mix with professionally appreciate it. Women don't. They see it as an indication that I can be manipulated and used. They can't, and that turns them off.
‘ Manners maketh the the man ‘ … or more simply put - be kind
Yul Brenner, Roger Moore, Christian Bale, Clark Gable, William Holden, Charlton Heston
Such an important video, given the state of men and boys in our society.
Thank you, Andrew
Good choices! But I wanted so badly to see the gentleman that inspired me the most along my journey - Sir Roger Moore.
Thank you, very useful. Also you look more credible in this video thanks to the tie. But please note that your jacket is slightly wide at the shoulders, there's a slight collar gape.
Subscribed. Just saw your channel and I love it. Greetings from Georgia. Can you tell me what do you wear? Blazer is superb. Thank you for your work to make world better place, God bless(!)
You should look at Robert Mitchum who has a wonderful stoic masculinity. Home from the Hill is a great example of this type of masculine stoicism.
💯
Another excellent video Gent Z. I agree with all your choices of role models. We are fortunate to be able to look back at these men and build upon their good qualities. As for modern role models, I suggest David Beckham, Mark Strong, and Daniel Craig.
Thank you! I appreciate your suggestions 🙏
Beckham plastered with tattoos including on his neck and hands Beckham ?!!!
Would disagree with all.3 tbh
First off, I must say that I'm a big fan of your channel! I was wondering if you considered the Rat Pack (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Frank Sinatra, and Peter Lawford) to be good role models for Classically Masculine Men, and if so would you consider doing a video on their style?
Class acts
When it comes to fashion, a modern icon and role model could be Daniel Craig, because of how he mastered casual wear as 007. We can learn so much and literally copy his outifts without having to spend lots of money on the exact same clothes used during the set (I believe most of them were made by Tom Ford). We can find them at mall stores like H&M, Zara, or Mango (which I really like), making it easy for us young men to look like him (of course it won't be the same quality, but for what we pay is a good deal). Thanks for the daily uploads !
Lol !!
Don't forget Gary Cooper or David Niven.
Cheers
Gary Cooper is true classic in the gentleman look
Strong and silent type
Great job. Loved the roster. As for the contemporary guys...Henry Golding...Lakeith Stanfield, Matt Bomer, Neil Patrick Harris, Mark Consuelos, Joel McHale are ones to watch IMO
Thank you Darby! That's very helpful 🙏
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Christopher Lee was a master fencer.
Lauren's words of advice should be posted at the entrance to every tattoo parlor.

- paul newman
- steve mcqueen
- alain delon
- robert redford
- carry grant
- pierce brosnan
King You Missed Daniel Craig 😢❤ The James Bond ❤
Again, you set yourself apart by simply making a great and interesting video and not sullying everything by begging for likes and subscriptions. Already a big fan. I am a fan of boxing (the older days--I came of age in the '60s and '70s). Some seriously masculine men in that group, and, in their own ways, gentlemen: Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman (after a rough start on the gentleman front). Actors: Lee Marvin, of course, and more recently Steve Buscemi. He often plays a near lunatic, but interviews with the man show a true gentleman.
In order to help everyone pursue excellence I'll drop in my two pennies: In informal speech, you don't really need to name someone who has received an honour (in Christopher Lee's case, a knighthood) using the honourific ("sir"), but if you do, then it would be "Sir Christopher", not "Sir Lee". It's more complicated for a lordship, where you have "Lord Sugar", or "Lord Percy", so confusion is common. But for a knight or a baronet the title precedes the first name, or both names, but not just the surname alone.
Mentioning "Sir Lee" is the worst of both worlds, because it makes you sound like you value titles, but it shows that you're not familiar with them, and so you are perceived to unknowingly fall short in your own estimation.
Just "Christopher Lee", or "Sir Christopher" would be better, and "Sir Christopher Lee" would be best (but also a mouthful).
I go to church and nobody but nobody wears a sports coat much less a suit I am it and the general attitude of both sexes is why dress up. Being 81 it was customary to open a car door, etc. but now women comment on how this is so much out of the ordinary and either their husband or boy friend doesn't do it. Times have changed and unfortunately not for the better.
Thanks for the video. I liked Frank Sinatra as an actor. His role in Von Ryan's Express was very good, my favorite WW2 movie. regards, Paras. My philosphy of a gentleman is treat someone how you would like to be treated even your enemies.( even though I have a hard time following it:))
Von Ryan's Express in an absolute classic film.
Do a vid on clarke gable. And i look forward to your modern gentleman vid. George clooney has to be included and once you mention him that means brad pitt should be in the mix. Denzel Washington also is a shoe in. Will Smith despite the slap. Henry cavill and perhaps daniel craig tho his gentlemanly persona only came about as Bond
I met Mr. Poitier once, he was a true gentleman.
Everyrhing was great back that Golden era..sigh even if it was not my time i enjoy golden era movies Cary Grant as my fav example of a Gentleman
Modern gentlemen that embody some of the traits you have outlined.
I would say Ryan Gosling has some of the old school charm of Cary Grant
Roger Federer carries himself with such grace not easy in the ultra competitive world of sports
But the five you picked are certainly a hard act to follow.
Thank you Dean! I look forward to doing a modern version of this and a sportsmen like Federer would be a great addition as well as the usual actors
Excellent role models....one thing about Frank Sinatra....he was an extremely generous man who helped many people but quietly
He was indeed!
How about Paul Newman?
No mention of David Niven or Roger Moore ?
Can you make a video about where you get your clothes that you have already
Sinatra!!!
This might sound unusual, but can you cover Jason Bourne's style? It's casual, functional, subtle, and flies under the radar (except the Tag Heuer😅).
Huh ? Nonsense!! 😮
Have nothing to do with being a gentleman
All great men to aspire too. Gary Cooper and Jimmy Stewart were not chicken liver either. Dean Martin would be that other guy Frank hung around with, Nat King Cole he very much admired. The list of Gentleman of yesterday is sadly quite large compared to modern day. But there is hope that the young men of today will follow in their footsteps.
Another gentleman to add to the list would be the great Terry-Thomas. Modern role-models would be someone like Keanu Reeves, who is said to be the nicest man around.
Thank you! Yes, Keanu was definitely in the back of my mind
The sad thing is that people have never met a gentleman like Cary Grant, so they typically don't know how to react. They eventually learn, usually because of my charm.
“A Dress well person,
Is a sign of Good Manners.”

Robert Wagner would be one to consider.
