Crying Men is a series of photographic portraits of famous film actors. Sam Taylor-Johnson (née Taylor-Wood) makes portraits of her subjects as actors; she shoots them in role, asking each to perform and cry for the camera. Each actor cries in their own way. The portraits include Tim Roth, Gabriel Byrne, Laurence Fishburne, Woody Harrelson, Michael Gambon, Jude Law, Hayden Christiansen, Ryan Gosling, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Newman, Ed Harris, Benicio Del Toro, Willem Dafoe, and Kris Kristofferson.
