Here are some photos of Henry Cavill at LAX several days ago. Just because. I know some of you really like him, and I thought these were decent pics of him. With his glorious curls and his sweatpants, I kind of think he could pass for a relation of James Marsden, right? I’ve never really noticed the resemblance before. I do think Henry is actually more attractive with some scruff, with his hair kind of wild (and so curly!), and low-key in sweats. I would hit that. Hard. I just realized he falls into my “Dong Kryptonite” criteria: dark hair, light eyes, with an accent. Oh, yes. Come to me, Henry.
Anyway, Henry got name-checked several times in the comments of yesterday’s “Who should play James Bond next?” post. I’ll admit it… I don’t think Henry would be very good as Bond. He can do period-dramas, he can probably even do superhero movies (he’s Superman, after all), but I don’t think he could play James Bond. He’s just too… clean and uncontroversial. He’s perfectly vanilla, you know? That’s what made him a good choice for Superman, the most vanilla of all of the superheroes. Henry chatted with TMZ at LAX – the same time as these photos were taken – about being the first English actor to tackle Superman and whether his curls were real.
The accent is definitely a plus. If he sounded like James Marsden, I wouldn’t be into it.

He is devine, just from physical point of view he’s perfect. He’s nice, polite, doesn’t act like an asshole(looking at Pattinson/Stewart) and is naturally beautiful.
Watch his Dunnhill commercials he did couple of years ago, he basically plays Bond in them and is better at it then all those other options.

I completely agree. Those Dunhill commercials show it in full. It’s not a coincidence that he was the last man standing against (HORRENDOUS) Daniel Craig for Casino Royale, and Martin Campbell was expecting to do the movie with Cavill, not with Craig. (In fact there is at the very least one scene in the movie that had been written for a way younger Bond than Craig). Cavill is the ONLY choice that makes perfect sense for Bond at this point. He has the exact Fleming looks, the charisma, the style, and he’s a good actor. He better be the next Bond!

Henry Cavill = gorgeous. No way will Hollywood pick him now to play James Bond after passing him up already; especially since he is now Superman. Rumour has it that Idris Elba (in the BBC series ‘Luther’) may likely be the next Bond. Idris is so stimulating to watch, on every level…

God, I do find him hot. But I’m afraid he’s a bit dumb. Don’t know exactly though, just a feeling.

WTF are you talking about?
He is articulate, polite, dimplomatic in his answers and a gentleman.
Go read his interviews.
He attended a pretty expensive boarding school that he wouldn’t have gotten into if he didn’t have good grades. He also wanted to study history and speaks fluent French and can converse in German and Italian.
You confuse being professional and staying by the topic of his films for boredom. Too many actors try too hard to make themselves interesting by telling ridiculous jokes and anecdotes and end up looking like douchbags. Prime example Robert Pattinson, Joseph Gordon Levitt, James Franco and even M. Fassbender.
Henry doesn’t like drawing attetion to himself, he’s pretty reserved.

@McLane – Pattinson went to a pretty good school too.

Easy, I just said it’s a feeling
I’ve got the impression because his exgirlfriend and his now girlfriend (?) Gina Carano don’t seem to be that bright. There’s a rumour that Carano’s voice was replaced in Haywire, because she was that bad. And I read a few statements of him in interviews which made me wonder.
But hey, I’ll be happy if he’s hot and intelligent

His character in the Tudors was James Bond in the 16th century and his sex scenes were hotter than anything from a Bond film.
There’s nothing vanilla about him. If being polite and non controversial is that to some people then I’ll take him.

I read something somewhere about how he ridiculed one of his fan’s friend or something like that, because she was heavier, so since then, no way.

That’s never stopped someone from making disparaging remarks about someone’s weight. It’s all so common, the person who ridicules heavy people, when he/she used to be heavy themselves or have heavy relatives.

So your judging him because someone said that on the internet and there’s no proof that’s actually a fact?
I’ve never seen anyone saying anything bad about him.
Usually there’s a pattern in someone’s behaviour that shows up frequently and that was the only time something bad was written about him.

and I read that because he was heavy as a child and was picked on.. that he is more compassionate about things like that… someone would have to have him on tape before I would believe he was making fun of a fan’s weight

I think he can’t act his way out of a wet paper bag.

That’s actually not true. He’s a great actor when he’s not trying to be an action star.
His best scenes on The Tudors were the quiet, romantic scenes. That is his strength.
Problem is…he seems to be trying to be an action star and he’s a forgettable, awful action star.
He’s actually perfect for Superman if the Superman franchise plays up the Clark Kent persona and the Lois/Clark love story. ( Which is what they should do since that’s the one thing that makes Superman a much sweeter franchise than many of the other generic hero franchises. ).
I just think he seems to want to make the wrong kind of movies.

It’s a pity then that Zack Snyder directed this upcoming SUPERMAN because action is all he is good for and creepy, unnecessarily mysogynistic depiction of women.
Has anyone ever notices that there is a rape or near rape scene in all Zack Snyder’s films??
my heart sank when i found out that he was the director. i really wanted to see Cavill in this role but i can’t watch Snyder films.

@ Ella:
“That’s actually not true. He’s a great actor when he’s not trying to be an action star”.
I expressed my opinion, therefore *MY* truth — hence the fact I started my original comment with “I think” (it’s right there, very clear). How can you say somebody else’s opinion isn’t true? That doesn’t even make sense. All you had to do was saying you disagreed with me, not something like that.
I repeat: I THINK he can’t act his way out of a wet paper bag. Wooden, lacks charisma and sometimes downright risible during dramatic scenes. His “acting” is awful, almost painful to watch, in my opinion.
Even worse than Robert Pattinson, that’s how bad I think Cavill is.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Eve, you’re 100% correct.
Physically, Cavill is close to perfection. As an actor, however, he’s simply terrible. So wooden and unconvincing that he made Jonathan Rhys Meyers look like Lawrence Olivier in ‘The Tudors’. And Rhys Meyers is no great shakes in the acting dept either!
It’s lucky for Cavill that he looks the way he does. Because if he didn’t, he’d probably be stacking shelves in his local supermarket. Certainly not making millions as an ‘actor.

Complete nonsense.
JRM overacted in every scene. All he did was screaming. Henry played his character totally opposite and his character was the only one that grew as a person and changed. I loved his calm demeanor.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I never said JRM was a good actor – you’re right, he did completely overact. That doesn’t mean that Cavill was any better. In my opinion, he was completely unconvincing, and portrayed no complexity whatsoever. Being ‘calm’ (whatever that means) doesn’t mean you’re a good actor.
Some of the scenes where Cavill and JRM acted together were so bad they were good. There’s a scene, where Cavill approaches JRM to tell him of rumours about Anne’s behaviour with men. ‘What is truth, Charles?’ JRM inanely asks, as the former dumbly frowns. Unintentionally comical.
