Appearing for an interview with ShortList magazine,Henry Cavillwas asked about where his first big wage was spent. Cavill replied stating that while he did spend the money, it wasn’t on anything super expensive. He added that he would go to fancy nightclubs and get table service but that was about it for a period of time.
“I mean, sure there are times when after a bit of pay you go to a fancy nightclub and get table service and spend silly amounts of money on alcohol, which would cost about 40 quid in the shop.”
He did let the outlet in on his first big purchase which was an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera OHMSS Edition. One of the coolest things about the purchase is that only fifty such cars were made. What’s even more intriguing is that the car was seen on the big screen in aJames Bondfilm – Casino Royale. Simply being linked to James Bond’s name adds more cool points to an already cool vehicle. While Cavill did not spend his first paycheck on the car, it was the first thing he bought afterMan of Steelbecame a success. He told ShortList magazine,“I treated myself, eventually. After a few years of decent pay packages. I gota very snazzy car. An Aston Martin DBS.”

Is Henry Cavill Going to be James Bond?
After losing out onThe Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia and DCU’s Superman, almost side by side, Cavill’s fans were hoping and praying that the actor gets to play the iconic James Bond. While theEnola Holmesactor is a fan-favorite pick to play the character, we aren’t sure that will be happening.
ActorAaron Taylor-Johnsonsure has the odds in his favor however, it looks like another actor is rising up the list.Happy Valley’sJames Nortonseems to be getting the support of punters to play the role of 007. Coral stated,“We are set for a tense finale of Happy Valley on Sunday evening and as we approach that final episode, punters are backing villain James Norton to become the next James Bond.”
Who will take up the license to kill next? We are desperately waiting to find out! Will it be Taylor-Johnson, Norton or will Cavill defy all the odds to bag the role for himself? Will it be someone completely unexpected? We cannot wait any longer!
