After news broke that Summit Entertainment had optioned the rights to her book, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer wrote on her blog, “The most disappointing thing for me is losing my perfect Edward. Henry Cavill is now 24 years old. Let us have a moment of quiet in which to mourn…”
On a recent episode of podcast 'Happy Sad Confused', Cavill said he had no idea he was the author's frontrunner until after the first movie came out.
“I didn’t know about them wanting to cast me and the internet wasn’t quite the tool that it is now and so I only found out afterwards. I was like, ‘Oh okay, that would have been cool.’”
Cavill mentioned in a past interview with The Graham Norton Show that missing out on parts isn't always a bad thing.
“Essentially, I got close to a bunch of stuff and didn’t get it, but it’s funny that people think that’s a bad thing,” Cavill said. “In Hollywood - or in the acting industry - everyone’s trying to get a role and they’re not necessarily getting them. And so, to get an opportunity to be in the limelight by missing out on the big roles is actually a good thing as opposed to a bad thing. And I count my lucky stars for each one of those.”
