Answer 1

I don't know why he's called a Renissance Man, but he's soo sexy as Aragorn in Lord Of The Rings!

Answer 2

A Rennaisance Man is a person who has talents in many areas. He is not only an actor but also a painter, a poet, a photographer, and has made music and sold albums.

According to Wikipedia: "A polymath (from Greek "polys" (πολύς) meaning "much", great in quantity; and "mathese" (μάθηση) meaning "learning"); is a person who excels in multiple fields, particularly in both arts and sciences. The other most common term for this phenomenon is Renaissance man, but also in use are **** universalis and Uomo universale, which in Latin and Italian, respectively, translate as "Universal Person" or "Universal Man""

Leonardo Da Vinci was the epitome of a Rennaisance Man.
