Well, Henry Cavill was very close to getting the part of James Bond, but it was his weight that came in the way of his dream. In an interview with “Men’s Health”, Henry said that he also auditioned to play James Bond in ‘Casino Royale’. “I probably could have prepared better. I remember the director, Martin Campbell, saying, ‘Looking a little chubby there, Henry’. I didn’t know how to train or diet. And I’m glad Martin said something because I responded well to the truth. It helps me get better”. Well, we must appreciate how Henry took the criticism to work on himself, which also brought some great films like, ‘Immortals’ and ‘Superman’ in his basket.
