Henry Cavill seems to always be in superb shape these days, and it comes in handy when playing spies, superheroes, and now a monster hunter in The Witcher. While he's no stranger to films about spies and espionage (just look at Mission: Impossible - Fallout and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. for proof), there is one role in the spy realm that he did not get, and that would be the part of James Bond. In a new interview (via CinemaBlend) Cavil spoke about trying out for the role back when Casino Royale was being developed, and he remembers being called out by the director for his weight.
"I probably could have prepared better," Cavill said. "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 respond well to truth. It helps me get better."
Cavill's had no issue being in shape since it would appear, as one only needs to look at his work as Superman for a prime example, but it is still interesting to think about what a Cavill James Bond would look like.
