Henry Cavill is satisfied when the author of “Twilight” thinks that he is the most perfect Edward

Before Robert Pattinson was cast as the male lead Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga”, Henry Cavill was the “perfect male lead” in the heart of author Stephenie Meyer.

Henry Cavill is the actor at the top of the list that author Stephenie Meyer most wants to play Edward Cullen. She already had in mind a handsome Edward played by Cavill, and Twilight would be a potential project by the time the film adaptation was developed.

However, the character Edward Cullen is a vampire “disguising” a 17-year-old high school teenager, while Henry Cavill is now 24 years old. Therefore, the “number one choice” in author Meyer’s heart was probably not approved just because Henry Cavill… was too old to play the role.

The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.

Henry Cavill was not allowed to play Edward because he was too “mature”.

At the time author Stephenie Meyer announced that Summit Entertainment had acquired the rights to her book to turn it into a movie, she expressed her regret on her personal blog: “The most disappointing thing for me is is losing my perfect Edward. Henry Cavill is 24 years old this year. Let us have a quiet moment to regret…”

According to Variety, in a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast , Henry Cavill said that he didn’t know that Meyer considered him the “perfect Edward” until after the first Twilight movie.

Herny Cavill was “removed from the game” without even knowing it.

“I didn’t know anything about that movie. I didn’t know that they wanted to cast me in that role, and the Internet wasn’t as popular a tool as it is now, so I didn’t know until later. I was like, ‘Oh okay, that would be great,’” said “Edward Cullen.”

The actor also shared that after watching the first Twilight (2008), he felt that he was not strong enough to compete with Robert Pattinson, because Robert really suited the role. In fact, The Twilight Saga has become one of the most classic vampire-themed movie franchises of all time, and Robert Pattinson’s role as Edward Cullen has contributed significantly to that success. Thanks to this role, Robert was officially “promoted” to the current A-list star.

Edward Cullen is the role of a lifetime for Robert Pattinson.

Although he was not accepted for the role in The Twilight Saga due to age issues, Henry Cavill later participated in a series of other famous franchises such as Mission: Impossible and the famous role of Superman in the DC Extended Universe. Most recently, the actor caused a stir with the image of “monster hunter” Geralt as if he came out of the original work in The Witcher series .
