Bill Simmons says there is 24 male movie stars right now.

They are:

Smith and Leo; Depp and Cruise; Clooney, Damon and Pitt; Downey and Bale; Hanks and Denzel; Stiller and Sandler; Crowe and Bridges; Carell, Rogen, Ferrell and Galifianakis; Wahlberg and Affleck; Gyllenhall (it kills me to put him on here, but there’s just no way to avoid it); Justin Timberlake (who became a movie star simply by being so famous that he brainwashed us); and amazingly, Kevin James

Carell I’m not sure I agree with. The top of the list is obviously where it’s at. The ones that endure will always be my movie stars

Smith and Leo; Depp and Cruise; Clooney, Damon and Pitt;

Narrow it down again, you say? Well, alright:

Leo, Depp, Clooney, Pitt.

Unless Brad steps up his game, in 2 years Damon will be replacing Pitt on that list, not just becoming an additional entry.
