It’s surprising to see men cry but to see celebrity men who cried in public, is a huge shocker.
Jay Z has let his song cry both metaphorically and literally. In an interview with MTV, Jeezy revealed that Hov got emotional while penning a verse for Jeezy’s “Seen It All.” “We got on the phone and [Jay] was like, ‘Yo, Jeezy, when I was writing the verse I had tears in my eyes, man,’ because it took him so far back to Marcy,”’ said Jeezy.
Few things are more touching than seeing macho men show true emotions. For a man to tear up about something important, it reminds us that no matter how hard he might appear, he’s still human. Here are a few male celebrities who were man enough to cry and not apologize for it.
