Henry Cavill has revealed that when he auditioned for the part of James Bond for Casino Royale, he was called “chubby” by the film’s director. In an interview with Men’s Health, the 36-year-old recalled trying out for the coveted role, after British star Pierce Brosnan’s exit post 2002’s Die Another Day.
“I probably could have prepared better. I remember the director, Martin Campbell, saying, ‘Looking a little chubby there, Henry’,” the Justice League star said. Cavill had auditioned for the role, wearing just a towel in an attempt to recreate Bond legend Sean Connery’s famous scene from From Russia With Love (1963).
