Tom Cruise is about the closest we got.
Yeah, he is nuts and has a weird religion but. Gearhead, pilot, thrillseeker and generally pretty fucking crazy. And he banged (and married) Nichole Kidman and Katie Holmes so there is that. |

Watch "Le Mans" if not for the acting, the racing sound track and racing footage. "Racing is life, everything else is just waiting" |

He was the man.
Great actor. Race car driver. Trained in Tang Soo Do with 9th degree blackbelt Pat E. Johnson. Inducted into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1978. Inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999. and he was a conservative. 
"Was originally supposed to star in The Gauntlet (1977), but left the project during pre-production because he didn't want to work with Barbra Streisand, the first choice for the female lead."

Quote HistoryQuoted: the real men went off to war came home started businesses raised families of good people and help their neighbors the rest are just pretenders In 1947, McQueen joined the United States Marine Corps and was promoted to private first class and assigned to an armored unit. At first, he reverted to his prior rebelliousness, and was demoted to private seven times. He took an unauthorized absence by failing to return after a weekend pass expired, staying with a girlfriend for two weeks until the shore patrol caught him. He resisted arrest and spent 41 days in the brig. After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement and embraced the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise, pulling them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea. He was assigned to the honor guard, responsible for guarding then US President Harry Truman's yacht. McQueen served until 1950, when he was honorably discharged. He later said he had enjoyed his time in the Marines.       |

Can't remember where I heard/read it---may have been a documentary---but IIRC, he turned down starring with Paul Newman in "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid", because the billing would have had Paul Newman's name over his. . .
If true, (and if that was really the only reason), that's sorta of an insecure thing---sounds like a 12 year old girl. . . Now, now, don't get me wrong, I love all of his movies and the characters he played, though, come to think of it, they were all kind of the same character. . .but from what I've heard he was a bit insecure/sensitive about his stardom. . . . . .Maybe that comes with that territory. .  |

I read an account of Lee Marvin working in a movie set where there was a Ma Deuce in the movie that kept jamming or breaking down in some fashion and Lee Marvin was the only guy who could keep it running due to his USMC training.
