Well, the title has said it all. Let’s check it out.

The first minute James Dean appeared in ‘Rebel without a Cause’ was something we couldn’t forget, when any other movies of him still made my jaw drop, stubborn, rebelious, and provocative, and he bucks the traditional thought pattern, and defines a realistic B.A. Or he can be absolutely a monster doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
At that time, most people had never heard of him, but now his name is synonymous with B.A. and the cast of any must-see movies. Johnny Depp caught the attention everywhere when he appeared in denim as the Officer Tom Hanson, in the ‘21 Jump Street’. The show proved Depp had the acting credentials and the charisma to make it onto the big screen - as well as launching his heartthrob status.
Brad Pitt is what every girl dreams of: he’s suave, he’s strong, and he can obviously take a punch and not look like a puss. The picture of him running around, hunting down in that pair of denim from the Fight Club is something we could never forget.
Considered to be one of the most important actors in American cinema, Marlon Brando was B.A. to the core. What else happened in ‘The Wild One’ was a counterculture was born– rolled Levi 501 jeans, boots and leathers became the uniform that rebels and bikers lived in, and that polite society demonized.
One of the first B.A. actors, he made everyone’s day as the unforgettable Dirty Harry who shot first and asked questions later (which is the way I like it). His famous western roles as Josie Whales and the ‘Stranger with No Name’, are the epitome of don’t care attitude mixed with the strength and ruthless to exact revenge. Check out ‘The Wild One’ and see how badass he was in that rugged pair of jeans.
Even though he almost ruined any chances of being considered B.A. by starring in ‘10 Things I Hate about You’, he managed to be so amazing in The Dark Knight that the testosterone emanated from that movie wiped away all the estrogen that came out of other movies he was in. He will forever go down in history with so many B.A. quotable lines and that pinstriped pair of jeans we wish we had one in our closet.
This man was born B.A., the deep, gravely voice and the muscular physique meshed perfectly in every role he has appeared in. Always appears in white tee and his denim, Diesel exudes the mindset of a man who doesn’t give a rip about the law or society and what they think. Every role he’s played has been B.A., heck he was even a Bad A. in a children’s movie! In which he broke down doors, dodged traps, and fought ninjas. Check out the Pacifier.
Aside from being essentially the godfather of Kung Fu films in America, Bruce Lee was one B.A. we couldn’t forget. Say what you want about the martial arts movie superstars, but he did make many girls’ heart skipped when he appeared in that jeans.
9. Michael Clarke Duncan: The Green Mile
As known as ‘the Big Mike,’ Michael Clarke Duncan would always be remembered as the real badass John Coffey in Frank Darabont's ‘The Green Mile’, for which he received an Oscar nomination. But he's always been good in every role he has appeared in from Michael Bay's Armageddon, to playing the villainous Kingpin in Daredevil.
Antonio Banderas should change his name to Antonio Badass. Appeared in the ‘Once Upon a Time in Mexico’ with his signature super black jeans that bold enough to nearly give the sense of wearing rare leather, he was second to none in his iconic style. He was not only a jaw-dropper everytime he put on a fight, but also that badass heart snatcher most women were waiting for.
