Something skinsational happened on June 13th. That’s when the heavens opened up and bestowed earthlings with every kind of guy to suit all different tastes. For fans of the all-American man, Chris Evans was born in the United States. Those seeking swarthy types will adore Argentina’s Julián Gil, England’s Sam Otto, and Romania’s Dragos Bucur. But if you’re more into an effeminate fellow, check out Kodi Smit-McPhee of Australia. Like his birthday mates, this doll from down under offers a unique allure to his specific audience. After making his feature film debut in the drama Romulus, My Father (2007), the youthful brunette received the AFI Award for Best Young Actor. Leading roles in The Road (2009) and Let Me In (2010) followed. Kodi also could be seen in the science fiction flick Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and heard in the animated horror pic ParaNorman (2012). The super talented Smit-McPhee then played Nightcrawler in the superhero movies X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and Dark Phoenix (2019). Next came the crime series Interrogation (2020) featuring Peter Sarsgaard, Kyle Gallner, David Strathairn, and Kodi’s shirtless chest! Of course, the actor scored global exposure when he was cast alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in Jane Campion’s psychological Western The Power of the Dog (2021), which won him numerous awards. Standing at 6’1,” Kodi is building a robust resume that stretches across the big (Young Ones, Alpha, 2067, Elvis) and small (Monarch Cove, Gallipoli, Poppy Cat) screens. Mr. Man can’t wait to peek at Smit-McPhee’s sleek physique!
