Who did she wish to play the glowing vampire? Henry. Again in 2007, the creator mourned that he was too previous to play Edward in a publish on her weblog. “Probably the most disappointing factor for me is shedding my excellent Edward. Henry Cavill is now twenty-four-years-old. Allow us to have a second of quiet wherein to mourn,” she wrote. On the time, she even toyed with Henry taking part in Carlisle, the patriarch of the Cullen household.
Henry opened up concerning the casting information years later in 2022. Whereas on the Comfortable Unhappy Confused podcast, he defined that he had no concept he was even up for the position on the time!
“I didn’t find out about them eager to solid me and the web wasn’t fairly the instrument that it’s now and so I solely came upon afterwards. I used to be like, ‘Oh okay, that might have been cool,’” he admitted.
2005′ Harry Potter and the Goblet of Hearth
Apparently, Edward was not the primary position Robert booked over Henry. That might be Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Hearth.
“Sure, I keep in mind that. I undoubtedly auditioned for that one, and I didn’t get it,” Henry recollected concerning the course of on the Comfortable, Unhappy Confused podcast. “The audition could have gone effectively. It might have gone terribly. I’m certain somebody on the market has footage which hopefully is locked away by no means to be seen. However, yeah, I didn’t get it.”
Why? He had a idea: “How previous is Robert,” he requested, who’s three years youthful. “I believe a pair years youthful at the moment, although, is a giant distinction. I believe I used to be in all probability, I may need been 19 or 20. And that makes a giant distinction once you’re taking part in a child in highschool. Effectively, it used to anyway.”
