Actors get a lot of shit for looking pretty, which is why, we presume, they're more than happy to get in front of the camera and prove they're not pampered pansies.

Remember, it's all for the sake of your entertainment anyway. Now, enjoy our GIF Guide to Beautiful Men...Getting Beaten Up in Movies.
