Henry Cavill shakes the kettlebell.
Henry Cavill said he was told he wasn't thin enough to play James Bond.
The "superman" actor told reporters that he was a "chubby kid" who didn't dare to take off his shirt because he was insecure.
He said he felt the pressure to stay in shape, but ultimately enjoyed the rewards of this fitness.
Cavill said James Bond's director told him he was too strong and thin enough to be up to the role. At the time, Cavill was about 21 years old. He told reporters that the comment came from the mentor's guidance, not from a "humiliation" of himself.
He said the phrase was "well-intentioned" and was a suggestion from a senior to a young man at the beginning of his career.
Cavill added that his motivation for fitness came from being chubby as a child, because at that time he felt quite unsafe when taking off his shirt, and then began to contact fitness, and slowly fitness brought him self-confidence.
