Emma Stone for example has box office hits and critical acclaimed movies like
Crazy Stupid Love / La La Land (both with Gosling)
Easy A
Favourite
Birdman
The Help
Zombie land
Spider-Man
Won’t even list Super Bad since she was barely in it
All great movies but besides Notebook many of those weren’t box office smashes that are cemented in pop culture. So is it just having many good roles that makes you an icon?
How can u say drive is not cemented in pop culture. One of the most iconic movies and characters of the 2010s

I’m fine giving him Drive
I said many aren’t not all of them

It’s having the skill of a great actor and a uniquely entertaining personality. It’s rewriting rules and becoming instantly recognizable, a level above famous

I would argue Anna Kendrick just off Pitch Perfect is more iconic than her
obviously none of these people are on the level of jack nicholson, one of the most iconic and famous actors of all time, maybe THE MOST ICONIC
but in 20-30 years time gosling, stone, hardy will be viewed as film icons no doubt in my mind
Gosling is the only icon here
Amy Adams? Nigga please
Tom Hardy not up there with Gosling for you? His 2010s run was fire imo

Hardy already proved himself imo tbh.

Iconic for uk culture, not Hollywood
He’s close with venom tho

Again, already said gosling
Stone is one role away from being an icon tbh

Him and Gosling were both iconic imo for leading sequels to iconic 80s movies years later and nobody was really mad like that lol like these niggas had to follow behind Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford

Mad Max is iconic for Mel. Tom didn’t make it his in the same way he did with Bane or Brock

Really? Damn. I respect it. I found his Max more barbaric somehow lol

would you say that Fury Road was more of an "icon-booster" (for lack of a better term) for Charlize Theron then it was for Hardy? (idk if i would put Charlize herself in that category personally but for this role specifically)
His last three movies were the departed, the bucket list, and he’s just not that into you. Departed he was doing “real” acting
fair enough. I dont know if I ever even saw bucket list, but it was a pretty big hit and personally I dont discount comedies as real acting roles. many people say its harder to be a comedic actor than a dramatic actor.
fun fact just because I looked it up: his final film was actually How Do You Know and the wild thing is this rom-com had a $120 million budget. that's insane. rom coms used to be so successful that they would pour money into them, the same kind of budget an action movie gets. that's a bygone era. (it was a huge flop btw)

Exactly. Charlize got the glory from that movie.

I feel like folks went to see that movie for Tom moreso than her but I dig it

A movie about Valentine’s Day had a $50 million budget
