If you're not a Twilight fan this post will mean nothing to you.
If you are a fan, this may be blasphemy.
I've made no bones about my feelings about Robert Pattinson.
He's ok as Edward. He'll do.
But he's not MY Edward...not the image I had in my head
when I was reading the books.
So the other day I came across something on the internet about
Stephenie Meyer being Mormon and went looking for details.
She IS a practising Mormon, BTW, and put in the movie contract
that none of the movies could be rated R because, as a Mormon,
she doesn't watch rated R movies! Good for you, Stephenie!
While I was searching, I discovered something very interesting...
Robert Pattinson isn't her perfect Edward either!
This yummy guy is;
Meet Henry Cavill, Stephenie Meyer's choice for Edward.
Ahem.
All I can say is wow. Yeah, he is MUCH closer to MY Edward!
So, you're wondering why they didn't transform
Henry Cavill into Edward Cullen?
By the time the movie deal was offered and then all
the kinks were worked out, Henry had hit the ripe old
age of 24, and they were afraid he was just too ole
to play the 17 (albeit 108) year old Edward.
Such a shame.
This last pic is off Stephenie Meyer's website.
Rare indeed.
You're welcome.
TTFN,
P.S. For those of you so inclined, there are pics out there of
Mr. Cavill shirtless-I was not comfortable posting those here.
However...let's just say he would be perfectly capable of giving
a certain, often shirtless, buff werewolf a run for his money physically.
As eye candy, anyway.
Something I wouldn't say about the current (hairy!) Edward!
