We all know how that went, and the lousy 23-yr-outdated was also informed to possibly get in far better condition. 17 years later and the British hunk is a spectacular specimen, with a back catalogue jam-packed with muscular steps figures from Superman and the Witcher to the beefcake baddie in Mission Unachievable 7. He has hardly ever concealed his desires to step into that 007 tuxedo and this thirty day period his hope surged once again.
Cavill was the frontrunner favorite to be the subsequent James Bond for a great deal of very last 12 months – until eventually younger pretender Aaron Taylor-Johnson was claimed to have display examined for the purpose and amazed Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.
