The central subject of the film was King Henry II of England. When Henry Cavill
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] auditioned for the role the first
time, he had put in a lot of effort and practiced for the role as well. But he
couldn’t perform because he found Stewart’s aura to be very strong and
overwhelming. He stood there still and couldn’t perform as he thought he would.

However, when he returned for the second audition, Sir Patrick Stewart
appreciated his efforts and determination. The appreciation from the living
legend changed Cavill’s life forever. Even though, Henry didn’t get the role in
the film, he got a life-changing lesson from the experience. Now, as are
witnessing the actor’s journey, we are certainly happy for him as are his fans.
This was the time the English actor decided to pursue acting forever.

Well, as inspiring as Cavill’s story is, we would like to know about your
life-changing experiences as well. Tell us about it in the comment box below.
