Henry Cavill for many of his fans is the ultimate Christian Grey and yes, their dreams has officially been shattered when news surfaced that former Calvin Klein model and “Once Upon a Time” actor, Jamie Doornan has snagged the part.

But we contest - the blue-eyed and dashing “Man of Steel” hunk could be the better pick for a multitude of reasons than Jamie Doornan. And with no offense intended for the Irish actor of why we’re opting for the British star, here’s some reason why Henry Cavill could have been a better Christian Grey.

Royal Background. At least in TV, nobody can ever forget the impressive Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, in the series “Tudors.” In it you see the British hunk in all his glory and the intense chemistry he has with love interest in the series. Aside from being royally handsome, you could see that Henry could easily portray class while charming viewers at the same time.
Superman Physique. There’s no doubt that woman’s fantasy of the billionaire and classically-inclined Christian Grey is thanks in part to his looks which Anastasia described as, “not merely good looking - he is the epitome of male beauty, breathtaking.”

From his role on “Immortals” to “Man of Steel,” it’s unquestionable that Henry Cavill’s body is not a benchmark for male beauty. The instant success of the workout video Henry did to show how he prepared for the Superman film is enough reason why he body-wise, he has the edge over many other Christian Grey potential.

Star Power. In “Immortals” where the actor played as the skilled warrior Thesesu his star power brought in a total of $226 million for Relativity Media, according to stats from Wikipedia. Come 2013, as Clark Kent/Kal El in the “Man of Steel,” he help deliver more than $600 million in the box office for Warner Bros.

It’s no surprise that if Focus Features and Universal Pictures is looking for a strong pull in the box office, Henry Cavill should have been the pick for the film.

A possible reason why Henry wasn’t picked for the book-to-film flick is his tight schedule. He’s currently shooting “Man from U.N.C.L.E,” which is being directed by former Madonna beau, Guy Ritchie.
