The race of Henry Cavill It is currently at its peak. The actor, who rose to international fame thanks to his signing as Superman to Warner Bros. , has become one of Hollywood's best-known artists. Additionally, his arrival on Netflix as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher and Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes led him to attract more audiences due to the wide variety of characters.
Also, it should be noted that Henry Cavill he has managed to earn his place in the industry by showing how versatile he can be. Well, in a few years he played very different roles which, without a doubt, caused a stir all over the world. So much so that, little by little, the Briton has managed to win the affection of all his fans to the point that they want to continue seeing him play and betting on different challenges such as, for example, the possibility of to be the new James Bond .
However, it should be noted that early in his career, Cavill did not achieve everything he set out to do. Obviously, the adversities he faced were not because of his acting talent, but because of his age. When he started acting, many producers were looking for him to be part of their creators, but the truth is that often the characters they offered did not match his physical appearance or age.
That's exactly what happened with Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and Edward Cullen in Twilight . As we know, these characters are the ones who catapulted Robert Pattinson to international fame. But, long before, Cavill was the one who was the preferred actor to carry out these roles. According to reports, when casting the Harry Potter character , Henry's fans went out of their way to see him in the role.
However, by then Henry Cavill was already too big to bring a high school character to life. And of course with Edward Cullen the same thing happened . Stephenie Meyer, the original author of Twilight , cataloged him as her "perfect Edward", but once again age worked against him: even with makeup on, he couldn't look like a 17-year-old boy. . That is, once again Robert Pattinson got the role since, as we know, he is three years younger, but has less formed features.
At this precise moment, when Cavill was fighting for these positions, he also tried to be James Bond for Casino Royal but the production preferred Daniel Craig because Henry was "too young" . So this time it was the other way around: if he was too old to play a teenager, he was too young to be Agent 007. Yet, despite these setbacks, at the time C Avill was perfect to be the new Bruce Wayne, but Christian Bale beat him on the spot . And, as we know, now this character brings him forward Robert Pattinson who, for the third time, “takes” a role from him.
That's why, in the face of so many losing battles he had to face Henry Cavill before earning his place in the industry, Empire magazine dubbed him as "The Unluckiest Man in Hollywood" . In any case, even if he lost important papers, he later managed to recover since fate had prepared a more precious trip for him. Fame came, success too, but in due time, with effort and dedication, he showed how talented he was.
