00:00Jerry Seinfeld is weighing in on gender roles and says he misses, quote,
00:04dominant masculinity. Seinfeld shared his comments on Tuesday's episode of the Honestly
00:09with Barry Weiss podcast, where he said he's nostalgic for the agreed-upon hierarchy of
00:14American culture in the 1960s and feels cultural hierarchy has, quote,
00:18absolutely vaporized in today's moment. That is why people lean on the horn and drive in
00:23the crazy way that they drive, because we have no sense of hierarchy. And as humans,
00:27we don't really feel comfortable like that. The comments came while discussing his feature-length
00:31directorial debut on Frosted, when Weiss told the comedian she felt the film represented a nostalgia
00:36for, quote, a sense of one conversation, a common culture. Seinfeld agreed with Weiss's assessment.
00:42That's part of what makes that moment attractive, looking back, and added,
00:46I always wanted to be a real man. I never made it, but in that era, it was JFK. It was Muhammad Ali.
00:51It was Sean Connery. Howard Cussell. That's a real man. The comedian elaborated on his point, saying,
00:57I miss a dominant masculinity. Yeah, I get the toxic thing, but I still like a real man.
01:02Part of what defines that era of masculinity, Seinfeld continued, was, quote,
01:06those movements of style. I like people that have a little style in everything they do.
01:10Seinfeld cited Hugh Grant, who was also casted in Unfrosted, as an example for a real man.
