Sounds like he's getting the Hugh Grant conversion - he becomes a bit more interesting playing bad than good. Cavill has even less raw personality than Hugh Grant ever did though so he needs to get that from the character, rather than trying to act like he has a personality. Still hot though, of course.

No, I didn't miss that part. The author started the article by pointing out that Cavill's physicality is the driving force of his screen performances so far, which is true. TMFU is good because his character also has a dry humor and good chemistry with Armie Hmmer. Being a big, good looking guy is HC's biggest asset, because he's not the greatest actor. He didn't really loosen up in MI6 until the final act. I still liked watching him, though. The fight scenes were great, and he does come across really menacing in the final act. And I wish he would stick to talking about his dog in interviews

I very much disliked TMFU but I hate Guy Ritchie movies anyway. I thought if they insisted on casting Cavill and Hammer that their roles be switchd. For some reason, Cavill was playing the American and Hammer was playing the Russian or Brit? Or was it Vikander who was playing a Brit? It made no f-ing sense to me. And for an action-ish movie, it was boring to me. It was the prettiest HC has looked outside of tights though so points for that.

I wish the industry would come out about the rampant steroid use among its actors. I worry about the long-term health implications for these guys who sign up for these action movie roles.

I wasn't going to say anything because I don't want to break any hearts here, but...yeah. I'm a nurse and I've seen guys in the emergency room due to steroids. They make the blood thicker which puts pressure on the heart. They increase bad cholesterol, and have been linked to structural changes in the heart. Men have died from sudden cardiac events when they have no history of heart disease and they're young (and they're otherwise in shape). They also weaken your tendons so you can literally just be walking around and snap a tendon. They've been linked to prostate problems and possibly even prostate cancer, though that hasn't been definitely proven. I look at Cavill and I see steroids. His face is gorgeous and he'd look great just as a natural bodybuilder, but he's unnaturally big. Now, because he's rich and famous I'm sure he works with a doctor so he's not just buying steroids from a shady veterinarian (which is where a lot of steroids come from) or from Mexico, so at least he's getting some medical supervision, but these things are illegal for a reason. They're bad for you when they're not used for legitimate medical reasons (like with AIDS or other wasting conditions, or burn victims, and even then the type and amount you use isn't the same as just straight up taking testosterone to get huge muscles) and it's setting just as bad an example for boys who watch these movies as seeing crazy thin models on the runway does for girls.

Agreed. The actors are put under pressure to look a certain way, it leads to body image issues in regular guys, it's just nuts. Here is Henry in Immortals, filmed in 2010. His body is incredible but natural and can be attained with hard work and a proper diet. Here is Henry in Man of Steel, filmed just one year later in 2011. His body is huge. It is frankly impossible to get a body that big in just one year without artificial enhancement.
