Best himbo characters in movies & TV shows we can't help but love

These himbos had us falling in love!

The dawn of the era of the himbo is here. Per the Urban Dictionary, a himbo is a “dumb or naive man, who, despite looking like an asshole Chad, is actually sweet, respectful, and kind. Typically large, beefy, and relatively handsome, but friendly. Gentle giants, if you will.”

The himbo archetype has been present for many years in both movies and TV shows. Though it has certainly become even more popular in recent years, there are various examples of characters who have been considered himbos over the course of history. As noted in the aforementioned definition, some people might perceive himbos as just being good-looking men who are dumb. However, there’s actually much more to this archetype, as these characters are generally lovable, sweet, and charming.

As such, it’s time to look back at some of the best himbo characters in TV and film and celebrate them in their full glory!
