Summary

It feels like every Hollywood heartthrob is either married, in a long-term relationship, or just… missing from the dating scene altogether. Gone are the days of a single George Clooney or Leonardo DiCaprio making headlines for their bachelor antics. So what happened? In this episode with Lindsey from We Met At Acme, we break down why the pool of eligible Hollywood leading men seems to be shrinking. Are actors settling down earlier? Is social media changing the way celebrities date? And why does this generation of male stars feel so much less iconic than the last? Let’s investigate.
