20-year-old Henry Cavill talks "Red Riding Hood" Movie

Before becoming the “Superman” admired by millions, **Henry Cavill** was also a young actor with innocent eyes and a gentle voice when he first entered Hollywood. One of his first marks on the screen was the movie **Red Riding Hood** – a modern, humorous version that is completely different from the classic works that Henry has participated in.

## 🌹 Put Tragedy Away, Go for Comfort

In a 2003 interview, **Henry Cavill** – then only 20 years old – shared the reason for taking on the role in *Red Riding Hood*:

> *“I did this movie because it was light, fun and relaxing. It was completely different from what I had done before – period films, full of tears, death and pain.”*

Henry had played in films like *The Count of Monte Cristo*, which were psychologically heavy roles that required a lot of depth and complex expressions. Therefore, *Red Riding Hood* was like a breath of fresh air for him – where he could relax, smile and have fun on set.

## 🎭 “I Hate Him!” – A Cute Joke With Co-Star Joey Fatone

During the interview, Henry Cavill made the audience laugh when asked about his co-star **Joey Fatone** (formerly of the group NSYNC):

> *”I hate him! Can’t work with him. He’s a diva!”*

Henry continued to tease:
> *”He asked me to call him ‘Mr. Bertoni’, and asked for a makeup room with pink curtains and lace trim! If it wasn’t right, he would make a scene!”*

Of course, it was all just a joke between two co-stars who got along well. When asked honestly if he would like to work with Joey again, Henry smiled:

> *”Definitely. I would love to work with Joey again. He’s a good friend, easy-going and extremely funny.”*

Without the superstar aura, without the handsome “heart-stopping” style like later, young Henry was a lovable guy – talented, humble, and especially with a **natural sense of humor**.
