not sure if it was mentioned already, but Austin Butler crying in Elvis (2022 movie) broke my heart 
there are 2 major crying/sobbing scenes during the two saddest heartbreaks of his life, the first one around 1:02:00 (his mother's death) and the second starting around 2:02:50 until 2:04:40 (when his wife left him)
and a small one around 2:05:05 (Mahalia Jackson's death)

the director, Baz Luhrmann, posted a clip on his instagram, showing a little more of Austin's incredible work:

So, Sakura...the ending scene of Moulin Rouge when Satine dies and Christian breaks down was done so well by Ewan MacGregor in the movie. How did Aaron do it?? Was there sobbing? Was it a long scene, like the movie did? I love Aaron! I am so jealous you got to see it! LOL..

I had to watch the ending of the movie again to answer this.

In general though, I wouldn't compare the movie to the live musical, because they focus on different elements: the movie, even though it's a musical movie, focuses more in the acting and storyline, while the Broadway musical focuses more in the singing and dancing, and not so much in the storyline, tbh. 

So unlike in the movie, their banter when Satine's dying is very short in the musical; they're not given many lines at all. They just exchange some lines, then Satine dies. So what Aaron does in the ending scene is the same: Satine dies, Christian has to sing the last line of Your Song -- "how wonderful life is when you're in the world" (therefore there isn't time for a breaking down scene that involves sobbing like in the movie). Then the church bell tolls [i.e. Satine's funeral], and then Christian has to narrate the epilogue. 
(As a comparison: it takes around 4-5 minutes in the movie, from Satine dying to Christian breaking down, while it takes like 1-1.5 minutes in the musical, or even less than that, depending on how fast Aaron gets to sing the last line of Your Song.)

When I saw Aaron on my second performance, after pausing for like 20+ seconds (with a sob in between) to finally be able to sing the last line of "Your Song", he couldn't wipe his tears during the funeral (to stay in character), and just stayed there with his head down until he had to narrate the epilogue. When he lifted his face and narrated the epilogue, I could clearly see his face full of tears and his voice was nasally/watery.
For a Broadway musical, one has to sit really close to be able to see the tears from the actors' fa

If anyone is in NYC, I’d recommend seeing Moulin Rouge on Broadway. I saw last night and it was amazing!!
Aaron Tveit (who plays as Christian) always sings the song “Roxanne” with all his emotions and at the end of Roxanne he’s usually in tears. My seat was 4th row from the stage so I could see his face clearly. I saw that he was tearing up while singing and at the end there was already a tear track on his right cheek. I thought I was just imagining the tears, but the person sitting next to me said to her friend, “He’s crying,” so I know I wasn’t the only one seeing the tears. A few seconds later I saw a tear (or two) falling from his left eye and that’s the confirmation. I cannot forget that scene and his expression, too bad it’s not allowed to film.

I heard from some fans who have seen the preview last year in Boston and this month in Broadway that he cries a lot on Act 2, beginning from the song Roxanne, to Crazy/Rolling in the Deep, and the next few scenes and songs. It also helps that the ending is not a happy one (if you have seen the 2001 movie Moulin Rouge, you'll know what I mean).

Other than his amazing acting, singing, and dancing, the lead actress Karen Olivo (who plays as Satine) also has some crying scenes, although I’m not sure if she sheds any tears at all or not, but there's a sobbing scene. In Aaron’s case, the crying is not acting, it’s more like the expression of pouring out his whole emotions during said scene. He always emotes pretty strongly, so I heard.

Edit: 
I saw again a few days after the first, and was pleasantly surprised by how emotional Aaron was that day; he basically started crying at the end of Roxanne and didn't stop until the end of the show. He couldn't wipe his tears and snots, therefore he sniffled many times in between the songs/dialogues. And at the end, he even had to calm himself for a while (while letting out a sob) before he could sing the last line of Your Song (the orchestra had st

There is this movie called Back Roads with Alex Pettyfer. He literally cries in almost every scene, I haven't seen any other movie where a guy cries that much. It's very depressing though.

thank you! i just watched this, and wow..  he literally cries in almost every scene. 
there's a really intense scene with him and juliette lewis that only required one take & it was very heartbreaking to see. kudos for both his directing and acting here. it's his first movie as a director, too, at the age of 29.

There is a series available on Amazon Prime called Grantchester which stars a beautiful man named James Norton.  He has one of those faces where he sometimes he very frequently looks like he is going to cry.  He is totally my type of character; the kind who you're not sure how one person can continue to withstand the things he does.  This makes the 6th episode in the first season pull at your heart strings even more and makes the lovely subdued crying scene toward the end even more rewarding.  I highly recommend people watch this.

i agree with this so much! i'm a fan of Grantchester too and i really love James Norton; his facial expression is generally melancholic, that he often looks like he's about to cry.
season 3 finale is a must see , there's a scene where he was saying sorry numerous times with tears in his eyes (morven christie - who plays amanda - also cried in this scene), and at the end of the episode, he broke down crying while being comforted. 

a shame that season 4 is the last season featuring james norton (he's in ep. 1 & 2), because he moved on to new projects. tom brittney took over the lead from him from then on.

Does any male actor from the cast cry in  the Hunger Games ?

There's only sobbing sound from Finnick (Sam Claflin) in the beginning of the movie, but you can't see his face at all, so I assumed it was just fake sobbing.
I hate Josh Hutcherson (the one playing Peeta), so I don't care if he cried or not.
I wanted to see Liam Hemsworth cry in The Hunger Games... but sadly there's none.
