BlackBook Magazine Usa 2008: KING HENRY CAUGHT WITH PANTS DOWN!
British actor Henry Cavill came thisclose to landing the title role in Batman Begins and Superman Returns. He was almost cast as James Bond in Casino Royale, until Daniel Craig's smirk swooped in. He even tried buying a house a while back, but "the deal fell through right at the end." Nothing stuck. Defeated, the extremely private star considered quitting Hollywood when he was offered the plum role as Charles Brandon, Jonathan Rhys Meyer's Number Two, on "The Tudors." On being positioned as Hollywood's next heartthrob, Cavill says, "Being naked on camera isn't the most comfortable of things, to be honest. But sometimes the role calls for it, and it has most definitely gotten me a lot of favors." | |
