When Henry Cavill Revealed He Was Fat-Shamed During James Bond Auditions & Rejected Because He ‘Too Chubby’ For The Role!

Henry Cavill is one of the most desired men in the showbiz industry. While the world knows him primarily for playing Superman, he could have been the James Bond. As the actor once auditioned for the role of 007 Agent, he was rejected and was body shamed. However, the role ultimately went to Daniel Craig, but it did motivate the DC actor to get in shape. Read on to find out what actually happened.

As the world is hunting for the next actor to take on the role of James Bond, there was a time when Cavill also auditioned for the part.

It would not be wrong to say that life came a full circle for the actor as he was once rejected for the role, and the world later started rooting for him to play the British Spy agent.
