According to Hollywood Reporter , Henry Cavill captured all the attention when attending an interview with an American magazine. According to the reporter, the actor is about 1.88 m tall but he looks much taller because of his broad shoulders and muscular body.

Contrary to his strong appearance, Cavill is polite when talking to reporters. He shook hands, said hello, asked the other person how their day was. That’s also how Cavill talked to his colleagues on set.

“I do it so much that my manager gets upset. For me, the rush of life makes people forget social greetings. I do it out of respect for others,” the actor began the interview.

An action star’s nightmare

As a teenager, Cavill pursued a rugby career while attending Hogwarts-esque Stowe boarding school in Buckinghamshire. Cavill’s father is a stockbroker and his mother is an office secretary. Henry Cavill’s family does not have anyone pursuing art.

Henry Cavill plans to join the army like his two older brothers after completing high school. “If the acting job hadn’t come while I was still in school, there’s a high chance I would have joined the British Royal Marines,” the actor said.

At the age of 16, when Russell Crowe approached his residence filming A Beautiful Mind , Henry Cavill boldly approached the Gladiator star. The 16-year-old boy introduced himself, said he wanted to become an actor and asked for advice from Crowe.

Russell Crowe was impressed with Henry Cavill at that time. The actor gave the 16-year-old a gift with the quote: “A journey of 1,000 miles begins with the smallest steps.”

Just a year later, Henry Cavill caught the eye of a casting director. The 17-year-old boy was recruited when the film crew visited the school. He then accepted a role in the film The Count of Monte Cristo (2002).

In 2007, the actor appeared in Showtime’s The Tudors , followed by his first major role on the big screen in the fantasy film Immortals (2011).

After filming movies, Cavill said he prefers to act in television series. For many people, this is a strange decision. When Netflix announced The Witcher series, Henry Cavill was proud to be a part of the film.

“I look forward to playing this role. After a few months of casting, my agent called and said they wanted me to audition. I immediately accepted even though my manager said I didn’t have to do that,” Cavill said.

In the series, Henry Cavill plays Rivia – a silver-haired monster hunter. He later becomes an advisor to the princess (Freya Allan) and carries out his own goals.

“Henry works hard on set. He always knows the lines, movements, and beautiful choreography to help his role succeed,” said producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.

While filming in the jungle, Henry Cavill tore his tendon. According to Hollywood Reporter, this accident is a nightmare for actors filming action movies.

Producers are concerned that the filming schedule will be disrupted. The actor then did physical therapy and participated in filming. “I know they always try to complete the film. I have to find a balance. If you fall, this is the end of your career. Getting into an accident was my worst moment in the past year.”

When asked about how to overcome the worst moment, Henry Cavill emphasized the word “professional”. According to Hollywood Reporter , this actor’s personality is similar to Superman. They always separate their private and work lives.

“I live a private life and am a family person. The excessive media attention is tiring. I like to have private space with friends and family. I see many people who are victims of fame,” the actor said.

Ready to replace Daniel Craig

After Daniel Craig announced his departure from the James Bond series after No Time to Die , a series of names were nominated, including Henry Cavill. In the race against Tom Hardy, Regé-Jean Page, star of The Witcher movie, is considered a formidable opponent.

The possibility of Henry Cavill participating in the series is even higher when the actor was praised by director Christopher McQuarrie: “He has health, charm and a good working attitude. Cavill would make an excellent Bond.”

This year, Henry starred in Matthew Vaughn’s spy movie Argylle . According to the director, Henry Cavill is perfectly suited to play the role of agent James Bond. “He is attractive just from the glance. Cavill’s action role is very different from Kingsman,” said Vaughn.

According to Hollywood Reporter , this is probably the 100th time reporters asked Henry Cavill about accepting the role of James Bond. “I thought it would be interesting to chat with the producer. I definitely won’t refuse and am honored to have their attention,” the actor said.

Henry Cavill is currently a rising star in Hollywood. The actor is currently busy filming the fantasy action movie Highlander , playing Sherlock Holmes in the second part of Enola Holmes and the star-studded spy movie Argylle .
