Hardcore Hollywood Motorcyclists - The Most Stylish Rebels in Entertainment
In the world of Hollywood, a select group of celebrities have not only graced the silver screen with their acting talents but also revved up the engines of iconic motorcycles. These stars have added an extra dose of cool to their roles and real lives, making them stand out as Hollywood's top bikers.
Steve McQueen, a legendary motorhead, first gained fame for his motorcycle role in the classic film The Great Escape. Riding a 650 Triumph TR6 Trophy, McQueen's daring escapades on two wheels became the stuff of legends. Later, he earned money in dirt bike races with a Metisse Desert Racer.
Another actor who found a love for motorcycles was James Dean, who was inspired by Marlon Brando. Dean used a Triumph TR5 Trophy in his acting career, but it was Brando who set a new standard for screen anti-heroes with his rebellious motorcycle persona in the 1953 film The Wild One. Brando famously rode a Triumph Thunderbird 6T in the movie.
Tom Cruise, an A-list Hollywood actor, has also shown his love for motorcycles, using a Kawazaki GPZ900R in Top Gun and a Triumph Speed Triple 955i in Mission Impossible 2. Cruise is known for pushing the limits of what's possible with a motorcycle in his films, making each ride a thrilling spectacle.
Charlie Hunnam, known for his role as outlaw biker Jax Teller on Sons Of Anarchy, has a Harley-Davidson Dyna-Glide Sport that he's often seen with, both on and off set. Numerous paparazzi shots show Hunnam sporting the rebel attitude that made him famous.
Ryan Reynolds, with a passion for Triumph motorcycles, has a top choice in the Triumph Bonneville. Reynolds regularly posts his bikes on his social media pages, and a recent shot with famed designer Dustin Kott on the set of Deadpool left fans very excited.
Hollywood celebrities have long shown great interest in motorcycles and appeared in motorcycle-related films. Peter Fonda in "Easy Rider", Nancy Sinatra, Dennis Hopper in "The Glory Stompers," and Jack Nicholson in "Hellβs Angels on Wheels" are just a few examples. These films highlighted biker culture, freedom, rebellion, and often involved real motorcycle clubs like the Hell's Angels.
