He explained to Style magazine: “It’s like being asked why you love your wife and it’s rather bland to say she’s talented and beautiful and bold because it’s such a subjective thing. I guess what I’m excited about is watching her develop. She’s her own woman with her own sense of purpose and her own mysteries. She’s not here to conform to a male fantasy. I think Keira has taken control of her own image. What we tried to do with the latest commercial is turn it around so that it begins as a story about the male gaze, but becomes about the female gaze. The idea is the artifice of projected female sexuality.”

If you have a minimum of experience, we know that all the complexity of the human being comes from the fact that their actions are often totally at odds with your thoughts, and that two human beings do not always react the same way to a given situation . Some people cry when they are sad, others are violent or, conversely, close themselves… That is why, rather than theorizing for hours, have always preferred to turn the camera on and let the actors surprise me.

Henry Cavill discusses being cast as Superman

Henry Cavill has spoken out about the nerve-wracking experience of landing the lead role in Zack Snyder’s new Superman movie. Speaking with EW, the British star of The Tudors and upcoming fantasy Immortals reveals how scary it was auditioning to be the world’s newest Clark Kent.

“All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go: ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance,’” he says. “The actor inside me was going: ‘You’re not ready! You’re not ready!’”
