"I live for myself and answer to nobody"
-Steve McQueen
Steve McQueen personified the “anti-hero” in Hollywood at a time when the emerging counterculture in America was challenging the very definition of what a true “hero” is. Maybe a better way to look at it is– heroism is an act. To live an idealistic, heroic life without fault is ultimately impossible. We all struggle with aligning our beliefs and goals in life with what is truly right. The fact is there are grey areas that we have to be honest about. We saw the good and bad in McQueen, and loved him anyway– in fact, we loved him for it. He was honest about who he was.
He showed his his true grit when pursuing his passions
for motorcycles and race cars....
but the guy had a natural style with clothing
that was class, through and through.
Great piece on the man,
highlighting the style, the toys, the icon
