I wonder what was going through Cavill's mind when he had to kiss someone 9 years older lol.
Is this sarcasm? Seriously. I'm asking. Was this meant as a sarcastic post? I can't believe this was actually a serious question if it wasn't.
Look people, I know this may seem crazy to some of you depending on your age but once you hit your early 30's....age really does just become a number. The age gap starts to close.
I'm 30 years old. I have WAY more in common right now with a 40 year old than a 20 year old and even a 25 year old in some respects. The age gap starts to close.
You don't notice people's ages anymore because it just doesn't matter.
This idea of age and age gaps seems very important when you are young and then you hit 30 and you don't even notice it or care anymore. Age becomes just a number. You can meet someone 50 years old and have tons in common with them just as you can look at someone 21 and realize that you are worlds away from their lifestyle now. This becomes even more true once you get married and have children. The age gap closes. You look at people in their early to mid 20's who are still going out and partying all the time or just appear to be "trying too hard" in so many respects and you just feel like you have nothing in common with them. Then you meet people in their 40's and you realize that you actually have alot more to say to them then you do to the young 20-something. This is real life. And it's great! It's not a bad or scary thing!
To some of you, age 35 or age 40 seems very "old." To me, it seems like something that I can see in the near future and the very idea that I would be considered "too old" or treated like I was less valuable while men get to keep living on with their sex appeal is just a really crappy thing. It also just reminds me that age is relative because 35 still feels pretty young to me. 40 seems young to me. I consider these people my peers now. They don't feel older than me and I don't meet people in their late 30's and sit there looking for signs of age on their face.
I can pretty much guarantee you that 30 year old Henry Cavill does not view young 20-somethings as his peers anymore. I can pretty much guarantee you that he may actually relate more now to men and women who are well into their 30's and beyond. Because THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS as you age. Age becomes nothing.
Henry Cavill is notorious for liking older women. He was quoted YEARS ago as saying that he "quite liked older women." He was in a relationship with Jillian Michaels for years. She's 39 years old. His romantic partner on The Tudors was a woman 13 years older than him when he was a young 20-something. He didn't care. THey had amazing chemistry. He made a film as a young 20-something with a love interest who was 20 years older. He's always been a very mature actor who played very well against women who were a bit older. It's kind of his thing.
Most women in Hollywood act opposite men who are 10-15 years older than them ALL THE TIME. No one asks those women how it "felt" to kiss an older man.
When Amy was cast and Henry was asked about the age difference between them his exact answer was, "
What an odd thing to be concerned about." He thought the focus on Amy's age by fans was totally ridiculous. Because Cavill isn't a moron. He dated a woman for years who was older than he was and CLEARLY did not care.
Seriously, guys. Age is just a number. The age gap closes as you get older. It doesn't matter. Those of you are still in your early 20's.....you can't see it yet. But it will happen to you too. It happens to everyone. It's just a number and it means nothing. My suggestion to anyone who doesn't understand this is to do some serious thinking about what is important in life. You are not defined by your age so stop trying to define Amy by hers.
