Real men don't dis other men

Actor Johnny Messner doesn’t think Orlando Bloom is very macho.
“Orlando Bloom’s a hermaphrodite,” Messner told the Ottawa Citizen. We believe the star of the forthcoming “Anacondas: The Hunt For the Blood Orchid” was speaking facetiously about the “Lord of the Rings” heartthrob — but he went on to say, “I don’t want to be prettier than the woman I’m walking with. . . . Right now, what I feel in Hollywood is that they’re so pretty and dainty and so metro that it’s repulsive to me!”
Messner apparently thinks that there aren’t many “real men” in Hollywood these days. He trashed or dismissed a long list of Hollywood stars as being too old or too feminine, and when asked about Vin Diesel he replied, “Listen! Vin Diesel’s my friend for a long time (but) nobody wants a one-note actor. . . . I couldn’t even watch 10 minutes of [“XXX”]. It was repetitive. “A Man Apart” —nothing. I’m not trying to crap on Vin Diesel. I’m saying that if that’s what we’ve got now for a real man, then we’ve got problems.”
