Male actors are usually referred to as "it boy" less often than a female actor will be referred to as an "it girl", as male actors often begin their careers at an older age.

"It" Boys also seem to have a initiation/hazing with the media where they are rumored to be gay once they reach a certain amount of fame. Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Jackman (although in his case I think it's true even though he's married), Richard Gere, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, etc.
Ashton Kutcher only avoided it I think because he started dating Demi right after he became well-known.
And it took a while to happen to Tom Cruise, but it finally started this year (well, at least widespread rumors started this year...they were probably always rumbling in the background).
