Celebrities including Chris Hemsworth and Novak Djokovic have made public declarations that, say health experts, might finally help convince men it’s “not a whinge” to discuss their emotions.
Forget aces down the line. After winning his seventh Wimbledon championship, 21-time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic was met by screams and claps of adulation for a move not often seen on the court: declaring that he was officially in a “bromance” with his competitor, Nick Kyrgios.
It follows actors Chris Hemsworth and co-star Taika Waititi speaking about the “love story” of their friendship, last month, which began when they hung out together, with their children. And, yesterday, Essendon Football Club player Sam Draper was celebrated after he kissed teammate Matt Guelfi on the pitch at the Gabba, after their team beat Brisbane in an unexpected upset on the weekend.
And it can lead to mental health struggles, says Bruce Smyth, a professor of family studies at the Australian National University. “I know it’s probably being a little dramatic, but it felt like somebody walked into my office, put their hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Are you OK?’” the man wrote. “And that’s golden because guys struggle with all that kind of stuff.”
