Henry Cavill is compared to a Westworld robot in Hollywood Reporter coverstory

SCORCHINGLY HOT GOSSIP! THANKS OP!

God forbid someone stop to consider an answer rather than regurgitate talking points! Mental illness!!!!

Henry Cavill is not very animated. Several years ago during the Bucket Challenge (to promote some disease which I've forgotten) he and Superman co-star Amy Adams had buckets of water poured over them and he just sat there and said not one single thing. She did but he was like a robot. I've never forgotten how wooden he was.

The disease being promoted was Glaciesitulitus.

This charade is still going on?

The reporter sounds like an insipid asshole, highly unprofessional, immature. He's clearly writing as if he's posting to Gawker or Vice, trying to inject cutesy commentary between the lines, a tired trope that Millennials both crave and popularized.

THR should be embarrassed that this is the caliber of writers they've resorted to having to hire. Cavill may or may not be robotic, awkward, difficult, I don't know. I know nothing about the guy. But the "journalist" who did this story is embarrassing. Not even worthy of a serious college newspaper.

The next Bond will be Henry Golding or Idris Elba. Or perhaps an unknown. Cavill is entirely too white and boring for today's audiences.

How much did his people pay for that cover? What a random person for them to put on their cover.

R5 Guess so. He’s staying in that closet for the rest of his life.

Why would it be random? Witcher Season 2 comes out soon.

R10 And it’s just one of a million different series on Netflix. I don’t know of anyone except you fangurls who give a shit about it.

R4 Henry looks and acts like a very quiet gay man in that clip.

They made me remove that line from the article r12 but that’s what I was going for.

[quote]The tape recorded Cavill’s contemplative pause as lasting 42 seconds

Imagine being SO worried about your image that you take 42 seconds of silence to figure out how to answer a fucking simple question because god forbid you say the first thing that comes to your mind. This is why his tv interviews are always so boring - he can’t ever just let the conversation flow.

I don’t think he’s taking the time to formulate a glib PR answer as much as he’s taking the time to formulate ANY answer.

I suspect a similar pause would take place if he went to Starbucks, was told his usual drink was no longer available, and he would have to order something else.

Remember the awkward bbc radio interview? I’m not a fan of the interviewer but I still can’t get awkward how robotic and awkward cavil is. And honestly he took that stupid superman role so seriously, it’s not Shakespeare!

[quote]As I always say, ‘The cape is still in the closet.'”

M-hmm.

OMG. That interview. SO BORING.

You know what he's saying he regrets? That he didn't start a cologne or clothing line or a brand of vodka. So empty.

Henry is my number 1 crush but even if he wasn't I'd defend him over that twatty Nick Grimshaw interview.

Those junkets are just so ridiculous, the actors get asked the same questions over and over again and Henry have boring replies to boring questions.

Jimmy Kimmel gets him going.

[quote] The next Bond will be Henry Golding or Idris Elba.

I agree it is likely to be someone who is non-white, but I think it's extremely unlikely to be Elba. He's 49, and they won't start shooting until next year. That's too old to re-start the franchise again, since they will want someone who can play the role for ten years or longer.

It's far more likely it would be someone younger like Golding or Regé-Jean Page (I am betting on the latter).

I also think if they do go with another white man, Cavill is too associated with both Superman and the Witcher to have him be a THIRD franchise action hero.

100%. This is what a lot of journalism reads like nowadays.

I really wish he would shut up about Bond and Superman, at this point it’s just chasing windmills. He has three films in development and a series to occupy his time, it makes him seem retarded to keep going on about things that will never happen.

[quote]...Cavill’s brawn is quickly contrasted by his genteel demeanor that his colleagues say is typical of the 38-year-old Englishman.

He's not even English. He's from Jersey. They're called Islanders.

Bond and Superman keep being mentioned because what else will garner attention?

I'd like to see the Cavill that article tries to sell us because the real one is not a star. He's a lump of wood.

He actually liked the article, if he is to be believed

Of course he liked it. It tried to paint him as a contendah.

OMG. Of course he liked it! That’s some high-priced PR he’s paying for there. You think THR was like “Let’s make Henry Cavill our cover boy!” For the 2nd season of a Netflix series? Please. He’s playing Sherlock Holmes as a supporting role to fucking Millie Bobbie Brown? This was his Bond play. Barbara Broccoli may be saying it’s not on until next year but the race is on and he obviously still believes he should be in contention.

But all the stuff they go on about in that interview, military this and military that, those are the very reasons he’s so limited as an actor. He’s a plank of wood.

The military stuff makes no sense in light of his wanting to go on the stage. But that's not butch enough, of course.

[quote]I really wish he would shut up about Bond and Superman, at this point it’s just chasing windmills.

Yeah, it’s getting almost creepy how he keeps obsessing over these two fucking characters. Move the fuck on!

Why does he even give interviews? They’re SO rehearsed and he says the same damn thing each time.

Too bad he’s such a pussy and is so worried about his image and what people think of him that he doesn’t just show his real personality (if he has one).

He's made some prize ignorant comments. His career would be over if he spoke his mind more.

R33 At least it would be more entertaining than his acting.

The interview -- or the cheeky rehash of an older interview -- at R16 has 1.5k "thumbs up" and 4.4k "thumbs down".

Do the math.

He'll probably be super ignorant in old age, like Alain Delon.

R32, so much jealousy in show business.

JustJared gay teases Henry:

[quote] Henry Cavill Just Confirmed Something Fans Have Been Wondering About!

Jesus he needs to move the fuck on and let this Superman shit go!

I feel if he were cast as James Bond it would be a step back for the brand instead of forward. He could have been James Bond in the 90s, he’s a throwback to the pierce brosnan and Timothy dalton bond although in my opinion not as charismatic as brosnan. I just think it would be regressive of them to hire him. He could play bond in an advert maybe, perhaps that would suit him more- a martini advert.

If he were cast as Bond he would be the equivalent of a 21st century Roger Moore without the charm and charisma.

I’d love them to keep surprising people with someone unexpected like they did with Craig. Honestly it was pretty boring to me for so long and when Craig was cast I think It really shook things up. What gets boring now is even their ethnic choices are sort of safe and boring - Henry golding and rege Jean page. Idris is almost too established in my opinion, but I guess he would be more interesting than the other two. I can already see them arching their eyebrows and delivering their lines in a very predictable way.

Casted.

[quote]I agree it is likely to be someone who is non-white

It won't be anyone nonwhite. That would piss off the bedrock fan base: white males. Neither would it play in China. The US Gen Z fanbois and gurls cheering for it don't comprehend that in the rest of the world -- where 77% of Bond's earnings come from (it's a unique franchise in that respect), whiteness is still seen as beautiful and aspirational, and they enjoy seeing a white man playing the role.

Poor R44 better brace himself. You’re being replaced, mate.

Could he purse his lips any more in his photos?

In order to keep everyone happy they're having a trained seal play the new James Bond. It will shut everyone up and make them think.

As he emerges from the water......."Bond.........James Bond."

he's dead to me until he shows those bowling balls he has for butt cheeks on Witcher

There's Tom Hardy pathetic and then there's Henry Cavill pathetic. I wonder if Corey Spears is still liking all the tweets that make fun of Henry's sexuality like he was doing during the pandemic.

I guess Corey is no longer getting flewed out.

Does Henry do anal?

He's so anal he can't sit down for fear of sucking up the furniture.

For all his masculinity Henry has a softness and femininity to his demeanor.

Does he? Where?

To paraphrase another poster, there’s always some delicacy, or at least a softness, mixed into his masculinity,

Are you talking about his facial features?

OJ was a story people were still interested in - sex, drugs, murder, rich beautiful people. No one cares about Lewinsky, it was a laughable "crime."

[quote] Are you talking about his facial features?

No. I think his facial features are utterly masculine. I’m referring more to his persona.

I don't see it.

R60 Of course you don’t. You’re a frau. Fraus always ignore things like this.

Post footage of his femme softness. Go on.

He’s a geek.

[quote] Henry Cavill: Superman, or Supergirl?

Are you kidding?!

[quote] Are you kidding?!

?

I'm still undecided on how big his cock is.

Young Henry was a bona fide pretty boy on Tudors, along side the even more extravagantly pretty boy JRM.

Gay!

But would he have been better than Armie in The Last Portrait?

He comes across as an ass in interviews. I remember when he mocked a gay reporter to his face by lisping.

He should’ve done Fifty Shades. That would’ve proven something. Instead he wimped out.

[Quote] Too bad he’s such a pussy and is so worried about his image and what people think of him that he doesn’t just show his real personality (if he has one).

Have you seen Henry when he's drunk??

[Quote] I wonder if Corey Spears is still liking all the tweets that make fun of Henry's sexuality like he was doing during the pandemic.

He liked one about Lois Lane that was shade towards Gnatalie. And he made a comment on instagram implying Henry isn't what he pretends to be.

[Quote] he made a comment on instagram implying Henry isn't what he pretends to be.

I wonder why he's doing this. Looking for a payout?

If he looked like me, he'd be that nameless, faceless IT guy who came into the office to fix the network.

Looking like he does, he' still that guy, but in the form of a famous movie star.

[quote]He comes across as an ass in interviews. I remember when he mocked a gay reporter to his face by lisping.

Fear-driven self-preservation.

Nah. He was tipsy and thought the gay man was insincere.

R74 Maybe he’s simply sick of always having to defend his phoniness after 15 years of being friends.

Hardly. He's enjoyed private jet jaunts he wouldn't otherwise have got.

Does Henry shove a dildo in his ass and masturbate while thinking of Corey?🧐

R80 Graham Norton should ask Henry that next month.

Were they real boyfriends? He used to look so happy when he was out and about. I wonder if he looks back at those pictures and misses being free. I know I would.

No job in the world is worth the humiliation. I'd never out someone but these people are also very selfish forcing their friends and lovers to lie. I empathize with people in the closet because I've lived in it too but I never asked anyone to lie for me except some exes who were also in the closet and didn't mind doing it.

No. "Sisters" at most.

[Quote] very selfish forcing their friends and lovers to lie.

Lie to whom?

Lie about them being straight, about not being involved with them, etc. Many celebrities are out to family and friends but not to the public. They live under constant pressure and anxiety over not outing the celebrity relative or lover, they change their whole lives so that these assholes can live a sham.

It's very selfish to impose this on everyone, I think.

I think this is a message from Henry to Corey, from their trip to budapest

When Henry has an engaging interviewer his eyes sparkle.
