Boy men and men men

In the good old days, men who were men ruled the movies: Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable. Today, we've got a lot of boy men: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Jude Law. Of course, we have men men, too: George Clooney and ... er, who?
We also have quite a few girl women: Renee Zellweger, Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon, Paris Hilton, etc. Rather a change from Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Kate Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor (who started as a girl and became a woman).
Is it because our culture has become more adolescent?
Interestingly, there are those celebs who fall in neither category: Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, and ... well, think of a few others. It's an excellent new trivia game. Picture a celeb, and rate them boy man, man man, girl woman, woman woman, or neither. Or maybe, both? Can you think of anyone who is both?
