Is Henry Cavill a “toxic bachelor”? Is that his thing? I’ll admit that I’ve never really figured out Cavill’s thing. I liked it when he was with Gina Carano, because I think she’s a badass and I respected him for being with her. But then came the Kaley Cuoco debacle. And then he dated a 19-year-old university student named Tara King. And so I mostly just feel like Cavill doesn’t really know what he wants out of a relationship, nor does he really have a “type.” Maybe the “toxic bachelor” label covers it. Anyway, Star Magazine claims that Cavill’s big problem is that he’s a caveman who doesn’t want women to express any thoughts. Sure.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… a toxic bachelor! Those in Henry Cavill’s inner circle are shooting down rumors that Cavill is secretly gay, instead confession that his single status is down to his arrogant attitude.
“Henry is hot, but he’s a bad boyfriend. He spends every date talking about himself,” says a buddy. “He’s like a real-life Gaston from Beauty and the Beast!”
And while he may play Superman, friends say that he’s not exactly after a real-life Lois Lane.
“He doesn’t want a woman with a career and ditches them if they start expressing their own opinions,” adds the source, pointing to Henry’s romance with then-19-year-old Tara King last year. “Tara was so young and in awe of him, but even she got fed up.”

Is this it? I still feel like there’s something we’re not getting about Henry Cavill, but I don’t think this is it. Like, the Tara King thing was definitely an eye-opener, but was the problem that Henry can’t handle a woman with opinions and a career? Or was it that, like, she was a college student and he was a 30-something movie star? And the thing is… in interviews, Cavill really doesn’t come across badly. He’s self-aware, he’s a bit nerdy, he’s thoughtful. I find it more likely that Cavill is not so much a toxic bachelor as a formerly overweight nerd who can’t believe that he gets to date the “cool girls” now. Like, he’s stuck in a high-school mentality. And that’s definitely a problem, it’s just a different problem altogether.

Well that’s how grown men who date girls fresh out of high school are
yup.
yeah its not rocket science lol
Myth buster here to the rescue….please please please don’t believe this garbage ladies. It simply does NOT exist. (The notion a man can’t stand intelligent women). It’s a garbage mythos perpetrated by idiots who write books like “The Rules” (and their ilk.) I promise…..The give away is that no man has the ‘insight’ to be able to stipulate a dating criteria like that; “I only date ‘non-opinionated’ women”. Utter garbage! More like; “I don’t date flat chested women”. (Trust me….I’m a guy). Sound pretty deep but we ain’t. I like opinionated women. You just better be hot lmao. (Kidding) sort of….
Hoping this is sarcasm, but “I have some doubts.”
Oy. Then again, I side-eyed him HARD for dating that college student.
This is disappointing news but at the same time, it makes sense.
It’s sounds like he royally pissed someone off and they’ve gone to the presses as a “close source.” It reads like a vendetta so I’ll take it with a grain of salt please.
I agree. As much as I share the sentiment of that article it sounds like an attack piece more than gossip.
My thoughts exactly. Either his team is so desperate to kill those gay rumors they think painting him as a douche is the better opinion since none of his relationships ring true to the public. Or he f*cked with the wrong person and this a part of a smear campaign. Either way this is a bad look that needs to be nipped in the bud.
I have no idea what to make of this guy but does weird dating behavior equal toxic bachelor? The thing with Cuoco still fascinates me.
I thought he was great in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” – very funny with that deadpan humor.
If anyone is familiar with Tina Whittle’s Tai and Trey series, I think he’d be the perfect Trey Seaver. And if you are looking for something good to read, I recommend these books.
Something in the way he carries himself has always been very off putting to me. Can’t really put my finger on what it is, though.
This type of guys is all over LA. He’s not ready for a commitment. It’s Clooney all over again. And there are tons of them. I got sick of it and left. Now I’m happily married, but I don’t think it could have happened for me in LA or NY. I am successful and was often mistaken for an actress or model when I was in my 20s. I did the Hollywood parties and hung in those circles, and the men I ran into looked good in person, were well spoken and appeared kind, and they looked good on paper, but they couldn’t handle my opinions. I thought that there was something wrong with me until I moved away and realized that Hollywood, LA and NY reward shallow douche bags.
Where did you move to? Because I’m in Miami and I may need to move there too…
LMAO, me too and I am in a different country hahah
I mean I agree with what they write but still think he turned down an interview or something because usually they dont go for the jugular like that. They would write the same thing but in way less aggressive form. Seems fishy. And again: Im not even in disagreement that he is a massive douche.
Do friends who know who you really are go and spill the beans to gossip magazines? As much as it may have some ring of truth to it, i call bs on this story. And I am not even a fan of Cavill
I agree well said.
well I am a Cavill fan and know he is an amazing human being so this article is BS!
Janice, get your head outta his ass!!
Is there any validity to the rumours that he’s closeted? Because the lack of a specific type, and the tendency to rush into relationships with thirsty women would suggest that here’s a guy who’s desperate to hide something about himself.
If he’s straight, regardless of how much legitimacy there is to the article, he’s a creep.
no. some people are obsessed with bearding or actors being closeted, but in this day and age it’s very hard to hide these things. cavill is just an asshole.
Yes, there are amazing threads on datalounge about this. I’m pretty sure he’s gay.
He is a huge homophobe. I’m certain he is not gay.
Some gay people who aren’t ready to be out can appear homophobic and say homophobic things as a defense mechanism to be being outed.
I don’t doubt that he has a lot of insecurities, but this is Star magazine.
Exactly! Don’t believe everything you read online………
He’s an alcoholic, that’s more off putting to any GFs then anything else.
Agreed with commenters upthread; this reads like he or his management pissed someone off. Next they’ll tell us he has a girlfriend in Canada or “Europe.”
Side note: He’s 33 -34 and a gorgeous, globetrotting movie star. WHO CARES IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO SETTLE DOWN?! This is not a free pass for any alleged misogyny. But, CHRIST, the social pressure to pair up and settle down by some arbitrary date on the calendar is ridiculous.
“WHO CARES IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO SETTLE DOWN?! This is not a free pass for any alleged misogyny. But, CHRIST, the social pressure to pair up and settle down by some arbitrary date on the calendar is ridiculous.”
I don’t understand it either. Some people seem to take personal offense to others’ dating status and patterns.
Yes agree thank you
Hahahaha I would “love” to have close friends leaking these kind of unflattering opinions about myself to the press.
With full disclosure that I find him adorable in films and interviews, the first part of this sentence reeks of PR:
“Those in Henry Cavill’s inner circle are shooting down rumors that Cavill is secretly gay, instead confession that his single status is down to his arrogant attitude.”
I don’t know him but…during the Superman V Batman fiasco, the difference between he and Affleck is so fascinating to witness. Both are facing journalists who point out how unfavorable the movie is; Affleck looks concerned and devastated (on a soul level), while Cavill just power smiles through it, pretending not to know wtf the reporter is talking about. It’s just two very different reactionary roads to go in the face of that.
That is one dashing caveman. Looks better clean-faced. No ‘close friend ‘would speak to Star Mag. This is non-news.
I think we should respect his feelings also.. He can only tell what exactly happened..they say know there is no substitute for experience. There may be innumerable reasons to say so. Thus he might have come to such a conclusion. What is wrong in it?? After all it is his life…
I still don’t understand how he went from being so sexy in The Tudors to so NOT sexy now. It’s like DC washed him of all charisma and sex appeal the day he signed the superman contract…
I think he likes Amy Adams but she is married. That’s why he can not find a girl friend.
I’m torn about Henry.
Part of me wants to hump him till the cows come home, the other part wilts at his overly pretentious forced mannerisms.
Do I think this article is about true? I think there is a kernel of truth there, as in I could easily see him talking about himself constantly, but I take this with a big pinch of salt.
As said above, no friend would go tell a story like that to Star magazine. Someone is pissed off!
Maybe we should just give him and other actors their privacy, he should watch that circle of his if it’s a friend selling his life issues out.
His a man his not prefect.. He probably never said he was..
What a weird attacking article. Conveniently right before his birthday. Does someone have a score to settle?
Cavill superfans coming to his rescue!! PMSL
The man has deep issues, deal with it, it’s just all slowly revealing itself.
I’m still welling to bet money he’s gay. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with playing Superman, no matter how the fans feel, rather they’re homophobic or not. He has a image to keep up, I’m sure he doesn’t want to be remembered as superman only for the rest of his career. Things have changed in the world but not enough for him to feel he has to come out, that’s just what I think it is. Or it may not be he is gay , he could be a new star enjoying his fame and is having fun. There are pics out there showing him coming out of bar, pubs, clubs drunk but holding it together pretty much as best as he can.
Mate his star and flown and died he’s been around for 10+ years. He’s also hitting his mid 30’s there comes a time when one needs to relinquish the clubs and booze and think longterm interests.
There’s something so irksome about this guy. Creep!
