John Abraham: Master of Brooding Patriotic Roles

Some actors do romance. Some do comedy. And then there’s John Abraham—who does brooding while saving the country in slim-fit suits like he was born for it. He doesn’t yell. He doesn’t flinch. He just walks in, stares intensely, and next thing you know, the enemy has surrendered, and he still hasn’t said more than five words.

Whether he’s dodging bullets or dodging feelings, these are the films where John Abraham proves you don’t need to smile when you’re busy saving the country.
