maybe Hugh Jackman is a decent "macho" guy still around, but he's not a young guy either.

Most of that is just your feels and none of it matters to what lives on in the collective memory. Blade Runner 2049 is sitting at 8.0 on IMDB with 600K+ votes and Blade Runner (1982) is at a whole 8.1 with 800k+ votes. In contrast the Six Million Dollar Man has a rating of 7.1 with 12k+ votes and Fall Guy has a 7.1 rating with 8.5k votes.
It's not even close. Hell, might as well stick a fork in the memory of Lee Majors today, let alone "in decades!"
P.S. I'm not arguing who is a cooler cat or who I would rather have dinner with, only that Gossling will last longer in the collective memory of the US/world.

Lee's biggest success was in TV that doesn't get any airplay anymore. A movie actor with prominent critical and financial successes that has been Oscar nominated twice and may very well win one before he's done is going to have way more lasting cultural awareness, especially when you factor in the 30 to 40 year difference between their peak periods.

I guess I have to yield to evidence.
But I completely get your point... and I think I would rather hang out with Lee Majors or Scott Bakula than Gossling. But it's all fantasyland with no basis in reality (for me). Who knows?

I love the original Blade Runner but 2049 was a "piece of crap"? Dull that edge a bit.

Not unpleasant but not great. Does not have much in common with the original show. Comedy is mildly amusing but you will not find yourself rolling on the floor. It is supposed to be an ode of sorts to stuntmen, but that aspect takes second fiddle to the mystery. On that topic I would recommend instead the 2014 Japanese film Unsung Hero (aka In The Hero), about an aging stuntman who plays the "in costume" version of some TV super hero (a tokusatsu they call those, like Power Rangers or Bioman).

Ah, right you are. Barbie, I forgot. Somehow.
This was a fun movie we saw over the weekend. It is silly and absurd with some good stunts thrown in. I believe they broke 3 records in total (barrel roll, car jump, and fall). The unicorn and bullhorn bits got me pretty good. Both Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are likable, have good timing, and easy on the eyes. All in all it was a nice matinee and goes pretty quick.

The Last Race is probably Lee Major's best film, but it was not his biggest commercial success. Similarly, Gossling's best films are The Nice Guys and probably BR2049. Both were not financially successful, but I bet more people will be watching those movies again down the road than shit like "Barbie" or "SM Far From Home". But he might be the other bookend of the era of the Hollywood action star with blue collar appeal (Majors was the man who made the mold, Gossling is kind of the one of the last of that kind).
But Majors was so cool he sang his own fucking theme song.
