I only learned on Wednesday that Henry Cavill and Gina Carano are together and have been together since September (I covered it yesterday!), and now LOOK. They just walked the red carpet together at the Critics’ Choice last night!! How did the red carpet photographers not spend the entire time just shooting sexy images of these two? I really don’t get the “meh”-ing of this couple – they have the potential to be as hot (in sheer sex appeal) as Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz to me. He’s buff and English and he looks like Matt Bomer (only Henry’s straight!) and Gina is curvy and strong and tough and sexy. How do you not want to see this sex tape? I’m really asking.
Henry was at the Critics’ Choice to present – he was the first presenter with Nina Dobrev, who, I’m sorry, is incredibly annoying. I kind of felt like Henry knew it too – he’s was like, “Um, seriously? I’m Superman and you’re putting me with this tittering little girl?” Gina was at the Critics’ Choice because she was nominated for Best Action Actress for Haywire. She lost, but she got to take Henry home, so that makes her a winner.
Gina’s dress is Roland Mouret, by the way. This isn’t the best example of Mouret… it’s looks kind of dated and prom-y. The color is pretty on her, though, and you know what I really, really like? I love that Henry Cavill likes a woman with some curves. It’s hot.

Amazing! I love them both. He needs a tailor tho, those pant legs are dragging.
Me too! Hope we see a lot more of them together.
Ick. Not me.
Horrible couple. He could do better.
That’s a really cool couple.
I normally like HC but he seems oddly lifeless in these pics, with the exception of the last one where he’s smiling. Seriously, it’s like I can practically hear the tumbleweed rolling along in his head.
I feel much the same way. He looks like an early 90s-style romance novel cover model to me here!
LOL @ Lupe. Yup, totally agree with your description. I’m not a huge HC fan (but I’ve also never seen him in anything) but I think these two are somehow really sexy together.
He’s handsome, but really does nothing for me. It’s like looking at a mannequin. Also, he’s a bit wee (why are so many actors short?). Maybe once he gets out on the interview circuit, if he shows some personality, I may feel differently.
She’s pretty, but that dress is all wrong for her. If you’re curvy, you need to work with it. See: Sofia Vergara
Short? Cavill’s height is listed at 1m 85 (just over 6 foot). Now, it’s possible that he exaggerates his height a bit, like many celebs. But I still don’t think he’s short.
He seems shorter than he really is because he has very short arms. It ruins his body proportions.
Seriously Kaiser you hit the nail on the head with your comments! That was almost exactly what I was thinking, but does anyone remember young sweet Henry in the Count of Monte Cristo? mmm I was a tween when that came out, so I was in love with young baby faced Hnery then and now
I do remember him! He played the son… 🙂
My heart is BLEEDING right now!!! Is this really happening, ugh!! He’s my (pretend) boyfriend, not hers!!!
He actually kind of looks like the guy I had a crush on. I just found out that guy and HC both have gfs. Not surprising, but bummer in the same week! Not fair. 🙁
individually they are pretty, together they are pretty but they make me feel nothing more than “meh”
Ditto!
Additionally : are we handing men cookies and pats in the head for liking us Gorgon like horrible creatures with More meat on the bones than average Hollywood Sized, you know Normal-to-healthy-or-Atlethic bodies?! Bleh!
+1
I can’t imagine men feeling all humbled if a hot actress chose a boyfriend who didn’t look as though he spent every waking hour in the gym.
Kind of reminds me of a thread a few weeks back, where we were expected to feel grateful that Russell Crowe was (supposedly) dating a woman a mere 17 years his junior!
Right! No Christina, Negative! You see all the shows on tv are predicated on some fat bedraggle looking balding slob has a cute tiny sexy looking little wife, so to men, is like their Birthright or some such ( she is a Nag always on the shows so like that balances the universe)
@ Christina – that situation reminds me of Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard..he’s like if a guy like me can get a girl like her, there is hope for guys everywhere. I actually thought it was cute
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20631366,00.html
She’s so lucky! The color of the dress is pretty, but the dress itself doesn’t do anything for her. That man can work a tux.
Showmance, they don’t convince me.
I hope you’re right!!
I’m starting to think that, too. He was never (or at least very rarely) seen with this then fiancee and is now walking red carpets with someone he’s dated for a couple of months?
Yeah, made me wonder too.
Took the words out of my mouth!
They’re a hot young couple who’ve just got together – they should be barely able to keep their hands off one another! Yes, I know not everyone is demonstrative, but these two show NO chemistry at all.
And I’m sorry, but Gina looks like a drag-queen in these pictures.
It’s not a showmance because she’s not in Man of Steel.
What I DO think is that Gina desperately wants to play Wonder Woman and is hoping that if they start rumors that she is that she’ll be cast. Personally, I’d hate that since I think her acting is horrible.
I guess you are right… *sigh*
timing was perfect…
Answering Kaiser’s question/comment: so so NOT. There is nothing hot with these two.
I don’t think it is. They have been supposedly together for 4 months. It it’s a showmance..they usually roll that stuff out pronto. Laying low for 4 months is not showmance protocol.
She could have worn a bra under that dress though.
That suit is hideous. Get a better tailor Henry!
They do look good together. A bit blah, but whatever.
Henry is terribly good looking but I also get a vibe that he’s dull as dishwater, perfect casting for Superman.
^ This.
Yeah, he is gorgeous, but his personality is kryptonite.
Personality? What personality?
I know. He is sooo sleepy.
I think they are acting blah together, because they look nervous to me. Walking the red carpet as a couple, for the first time, might be a little stressful. I liked Henry in mini series The Tudors and I like Gina because she doesn’t look like the typical Hollywood actress, she has curves.
Well you are wrong.
Check this out, he is eloquent and adorable but also serious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPXWrz-x-uE
@katie
What does walking down the red carpet for the first time with a new girlfriend have anything to do with the you tube interview. I never said he was not eloquent and I liked him in the Tudors, but they might not seem to mesh together, because they are new, as a couple, on the red carpet and everybody is watching.
Agreed. Has Henry ever walked a carpet with a date? It’s a big step and opens them up to so much speculation.
They are gorgeous and hot! I wish them well.
hmm seems like the promotions for superman is about to start.. This dating life never been on the radar, now months before his film release we have pics of his apparent new relationship lol.. Hollywood never change
This relationships pr.. They been lowkey gay rumours about henry for a while… When he was chosen for spider man all of a sudden his team were dropping stories in the press about him having a gf (the race horse british chick) yet they never been pics of them together and from other stories I have seen about it on ontd the chick was just one of his best friends
Now with a few months before the release of the movie, seems either his team or the studio decided he needed a semi famous face as his gf , unknown brit girl wouldn’t drive enough interest in the press lol.
They don’t have chemistry in that pic, he esp looks stiff
Err no he was definitely engaged to the drunk driving horse beating chick.
There were pictures of him and Ellen together. And they were engaged at some point, if it was just a PR relationship surely they didn’t have to go through the engagement route right?
I’ve always read rumors here that he might be gay, but I’m not buying it. Maybe I just couldn’t be bothered to care – gay or not, he’s still pretty f-in hot.
It’s not a PR romance, those stories come from datalounge where every man is gay according to wishfull thinking.
He and Gina haven’t been papd once, only recognized by regular people.
If you start seeing tabloid stories and staged pap dates like Ryan and Eva or Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldan then start those speculations.
ONTD and Datalounge are filled with so-called insiders who claim to know the sexuality of everyone in Hollywood. I don’t know why people believe blind items and anonymous posters on the net as valid sources on the sex lives of celebrities. Most gay rumors are based on those two things but usually there is not one shred of real evidence to back it up.
How reliable are the guys on datalounge? I remember reading a juicy gossip about Matt Bomer once over there…
I personally like Gina but only after watching her MMA stuff and reading interviews. She was atrocious in Haywire but she’s only rememorable to movie goers once you mention Haywire. I don’t see how this could be a staged relationship when his PR people could have hooked him up with someone that has done more than one movie.
Their appearance together was probably pushed but IMO not the relationship.
They’re…..weird. He doesn’t wear suits very well, he looks like a statue.
How old is she!?!?!?! I’m sorry but she looks much much older than Henry, more like his older sister or aunt… And she’s too big for him, he needs some one petite (still curvy but way shorter…)
What do you base that knowledge on? Why would he ‘need someone petite’?
Who are you to dictate his taste in women?
His ex was even taller than Gina and he prefers athletic women. Better than anorexic ones.
No type of woman is better than another. STOP IT.
Maybe he isn’t attracted to that shape woman. Can you imagine, a man attracted to curvy and not rail thin and as you tried to politely say “petite” women? Good God what will the world come to if men were able to be attracted to women of all shapes, heights and color and small minded people not comment on it to the negative!
THIS^
God forbid a man like a woman who isn’t pin-thin. Gina is HEALTHY and beautiful. Besides, she’s probably too busy enjoying great sex with Henry to give a shit about how many calories are in a slice of mango.
Kitten…isn’t it funny how women judge men about who “they” believe is better for them based on physical attributes but very rarely do the same about a woman and a man? Like “she belongs with somebody who is thinner because he is so much taller and heavier he might crush her during mission style” or “she needs a bigger man because, well he’d be crushed if she tops”. LOL
Absolute double-standard Chat!
The message is that we shouldn’t expect men to be anything more than completely shallow and it’s really sad.
Meh. I adored Cavill in the early seasons of The Tudors and the Dunhill campaign. His buzz/Caesar cut was HOT. Then he grew out his hair and just became… boring. Somewhere along the line he lost his sex appeal. As for her, she still looks great, but let’s be honest, she’s not in the same shape she used to be. I like my Carano rock-hard and kick-ass, so this somewhat softer version of her is not as appealing to me. I so want to be more excited about them as a couple but I’m just really not.
I know who he is-hotness. I have no idea who she is. The dress is horrid and the sweat stains-gross. Together they look nice, and yes HC gets extra points for dating a girl who looks like she can be found in nature.
Nina is the new star of the CW now that Blake Lively is gone. I’m sure Blake had to have been mildly pissed because that would’ve been her position last year if the show had been on the CW.
Huh? Gossip Girl came to an end, and was never a “competing” show to Vampire Diaries. Different demographics, IMO. I’m sure the last thing Blake is concerned with is Nina, rising star of the CW. Lol please. Girl has bigger fish to fry now.
PS- If there is a hot star of the CW for 2013, it will be that little girl who will play Carrie Bradshaw in the Carrie Diaries. Just sayin
Yeah, sorry but no. Together they are the most stiff, lifeless couple out there. Henry already has a problem with being stiff at times. She just makes it ten times worse.
She’s a very attractive woman (not pretty–but attractive) but that dress is just terribly ill-fitting. Just awful.
Personally, I hated Haywire. Thought it was an absolutely horrible film and she was horrible in it. She’s great at doing stunts but listening to her talk makes me want to bleach my brain.
Ick.
+1, I find her let’s say.. exotic at best. As I said yesterday, haywire sucked for me big time, thanks Soderbergh.
Did she get bolt-ons? Wasn’t sure if they would look right together but they look hot. So I’m with Kaiser on this. Hot couple.
”How do you not want to see this sex tape? I’m really asking.”
And I’m really answering!
Firstly, many of us think this is a showmance. Even if they’re a ‘real’ couple, they’re not exactly oozing the hotness on the red carpet, are they?
Secondly, while Henry is blindingly beautiful, he completely lacks charisma. Look at these – or any other – pictures of him. He doesn’t seem to me like someone who’d be red hot in bed. Fassbender he ain’t.
Guys, it can’t be a showmance when SHE IS NOT IN THE MOVIE.
She is not playing Wonder Woman. That was a rumor started—I think by her—and people keep spreading it when it’s not true. She is NOT in Man of Steel.
Do I think there is a desperate sense of wanting to be seen together in these pics? Yeah. Neither of them are that famous and their publicists probably want attention.
I think Gina is doing the classic movie that this site has raked other actresses over the coals for in that she started rumors she was playing Wonder Woman hoping that it would push WB’s hand to cast her. I’ve seen other women get bashed to shreds for that desperate move on here. Yet, I’m certain that is what Gina is doing. She wants to be seen with him and is hoping it will get her cast in the JL movie. Which would be awful as she’s a horrible actress.
”Guys, it can’t be a showmance when SHE IS NOT IN THE MOVIE.”
Going by that logic, all of George Clooney’s ‘romances’ must be genuine, because none of his escorts are ever his co-stars.
Whether or not this is a showmance, Henry and Gina look decidedly awkward and un-hot together.
But often guys who seem bland, boring and a little bit too tame, are those who are really dirty freaks in between the sheets. So Yeah, I am all for a sex tape of him, just not with Gina, she is a little bit too maskuline for my taste.
She’s very pretty, but he’s so so meh.
See I’m the opposite. I think he’s really talented and handsome. (Especially in The Tudors.)
I think she’s lifeless and stiff.
This is the first time I ever see her, so I can’t tell. As for him, he looks so much like Matt Bomer, yet Matt is so much more attractive. Too bad he’s gay.
Her dress could have been so much better with out the flare at the bottom.
They looked nervous, but very good together. I approve!
He’s hotter with shorter hair and less bulk. He’s looking like David Hasselhoff to me here, and that’s not a good thing. I have no idea who the girl is, but she looks like my college roomate, so she alright by me. She’s pretty in that really strong and healthy kind of way, that is even more attractive in person… or naked.
Mark my words: this man is gay.
This coupling is meh to me too. Not because she is curvy or anything of the sort. Her body is nice and she is attractive. I just am not feeling them together. Her dress is hideous. He is also prettier than her , which is weird. She seems very masculine and makes him seem fem. However, maybe that is how they like…so in that case…good for them!
I thought she was pretty ever since Haywire but she seemed to put on a noticeable a mount of weight since the movie, and it isn’t really sitting well on her. But, I think she’s really pretty. He seems kind of boring, hot, but boring.
What’s wrong with his face or is it that he’s clean shaven?
Girl would look much better if the dress actually fit. Pet peeve is when stars wear these dresses a size or 2 too small and you get the “pulling across” effect. It’s just not cute. Just because it zips, does not mean it fits. Humble yourself and go up a size.
Random sidenote: She is giving me young Priscilla Presley vibes here.
I just realized why he looks so weird – he has so much muscle he just looks fat, with a small head.
Bingo! The fourth photo says it all.
Henry looks a lot better when he’s toned and not bulked up.
Very well-built men can often look a bit awkward and out of proportion in formal wear. Hugh Jackman is another example – he looks like a pinhead when he’s in a suit, especially when he’s clean shaven.
BUMP WATCH!! Hahahaha jk the dress is so ill fitting for her. Also I hate when people always jump to the conclusion but at first it looked like she had some facial work done but she could have just gained weight in the face or she’s bloated.
Still wont get me to go see Superman…
I actually thought she had some work done when I saw her too. She’s already had alot of plastic surgery from her fighting days—had several nose jobs/breast implants etc. So its possible.
She’s still pretty even if she has had work done.
True I did factor in her getting some reconstructive surgery because of her MMA days but she hasn’t fought in a few years now. Her aging with the work could be showing too.
Not feeling this at all. He doesn’t look happy or proud with her. They look like friends, not lovers imo.
There are other pictures of them where they are gazing adoringly at each other.
He really is old-Hollywood leading-man dashing, isn’t he?
I love the color of her dress.
@j.eyre: He is!
The color of her dress is great!
Hey Agent MOL. I want to ice skate down that jawline – but that may not be much fun for him.
I thought I read some time ago (during Tudors) that he dated an older woman before his fiancee? I mention this only because I remember being terribly encouraged by this since I, in fact, would be an older woman when we went public with our romance.
Of course, lord knows I latch on to spurious information and run with it in my fantasy world.
I like that he chose a woman like Gina instead of some blonde bimbo!
Not cool.
What does being blond have to do with being a bimbo? Cate Blanchett? is she a bimbo to you? Naomi Watts? Jennifer Lawrence?
The body shaming is not cool.
Also, I’ve got news for you…if you’ve ever heard Gina Carano try to have a conversation then you know that the term “bimbo” can also be applied to brunettes.
That look is just ALL wrong for her. Dress, while I agree it’s a nice color, is way too tight. Curvy ladies don’t tend to look great in mermaid unless they’re purposely trying to bring attention to their asses (ala Nicki Minaj or Beyonce), and I don’t think Gina is pulling it off. Her hair looks like a helmet.
Up do, drop earrings, up a size (or pick a different cut in the same color) – she’d look much better.
Not true. Curvy women can rock a mermaid dress on one condition: having a true waist.
Gina doesn’t have an hourglass shape. She’s curvy but if you’ve seen her modeling pics she’s also shapeless. No true waist that curves in.
She’s too thick waisted for this gown so it makes her look heavy.
‘Curvy’ is a term that used to describe hourglass shaped women. It’s been hijacked by media until the public gave in to mean big boobs and or fat. oops…mustn’t call fat girls fat. They are all curvy nowadays.
The perfect example of an old school hourglass curvy figures are Nigella Lawson and Candice Swanepeol. In terms of weight, they are on opposite ends of the scale but they both have that perfect hourglass shape to their bodies where shoulders and hips are the same size but the waist to hip ratio is big giving them a tiny clearly defined waist.
Gina, based on these pictures, is actually an inverted triangle shape or in old fashioned speak, an apple shape. Her shoulders are wider than her hips, and her waist to hip ratio is practically none existant.
Thank you LAK! So frustrating that the term curvy has been hijacked. I am curvy (in the traditional sense) and the redefinition of the word to now mean plus-sized is not just annoying, it makes clothes shopping incredibly frustrating…curvy clothes no longer work for truly curvy women, so what do hourglass figures call ourselves nowadays?
I think they’re hot together, he just needs to lose some of the bulk and get a tailor, and gf needs a stylist, STAT!
Her look for this event is all wrong; not flattering at all.
I don’t really have feelings about Henry Cavill, but I just think Gina Carano is so sexy and badass. There aren’t enough legitimately tough chicks in the spotlight. It’s usually chicks who are way to try-hardy in their badassness (ie: Kristen Stewart). Carano just oozes that toughness, which is so sexy to me. The fact that she’s dating him actually makes me like him more.
RAWRRRRR…I bet they have hot, athletic sweaty ‘shark week’ s-e-x.
Ah now Lindsey – I am going to spend the rest of my day wondering what exactly goes into ‘shark-week’ sex.
However, I will thank you in advance on behalf of my husband…
Really? I get the opposite feeling. They are both so monotone and stiff. I pictured him with a woman more animated and intellectual to counter his stiffness. She’s as one-note as he is.
Shark week! Funny 😀
No opinion on him, but she doesn’t do much for me.
I love Henry Cavill but Gina Carano is about as trashy as they come. Always out drinking and pictures of her lifting her dress up because she’s so drunk.
Also, I’m sorry but I saw Haywire and she was god-awful in it. She was fine when she was punching people but not so much when she talked.
She’s trash. He could do better.
Also what’s with this desperate showing up together and posing and PDA? Reeks of desperation and seeking attention. That’s not him. So is it her that wants the attention? Don’t know. Not a fan.
Totally agree about her! She is not classy at all. They don’t match in my opinion. Henry is very sophisticated, well educated and posh compared to her, I cant imagine them having anything in common. She is not even in great shape as she used to be. In some pictures, her arms look fat, not toned and Henry is too bulky. 🙁
They kind of look like they’re related somehow. Maybe it’s the dark hair and thick bodies, but I like it when a brunette is paired with a blonded/lighter hair color more, but I would take brunette+brunette > blonde+blonde anyday. Think Brad Pitt and Gywneth days. Yuck.
He’s hot, she’s not. The dress/hair is god awful, & she almost looks more masculine than he does. He could do WAY better. Hopefully it’s just a rebound thing.
Rebound from what?? I don’t find either or them overly sexy and Gina’s hands are freaking me out. They are really masculine.
I thought no one else noticed her hands, they look more manly than his and it’s a little disturbing.
Gawd…cut that damned mermaid tail off that dress and fix that ill-fitting bodice and she might look pretty. Well…if she fixed that horrid hair too. Hell…she’s a mess and he has lost his hotness standing next to her.
I think she is a lovely woman. But I am not a fan of mermaid dresses on ANYONE. The only ones who should be wearing mermaid dresses are MERMAIDS.
That style works on no one, imo.
I sense they are both nervous on red carpet I think they are real.
I’d be nervous too..anyone would. When you know your picture will be on the internet for alot of nameless/faceless people ripping you to shreds.
So goes the road of fame.
I think they might be real but I also think one or both of them had an agenda showing up together.
This was a desperate attempt to get their picture taken.
It feels forced. I’m sure they are a nice couple. But this is weird to me.
When she talked in “Haywire” it was Laura San Giacomo’s voice you were hearing, so you can’t fault her for the vocal performance. Or you totally can. Either way.
Too much makeup, Henry :/
My first impression when I saw this pic was that he was posing with his mother. Maybe it’s the Priscilla Presley hair……
I’m sorry but I just don’t get it. Neither one of them floats my boat. Meh…
You can’t be perfect when your name is Gina. They’re always heavily flawed.
Nina Dobrev is not annoying! Sheesh.
And Gina Carano isn’t “curvy.” She’s an MMA fighter. “Curvy” implies tits and ass and soft and feminine like Jessica Simpson or Kim Kardashian. Gina is all muscle.
And also–why do people think Daniel Craig & RW are so sexy? He looks like the kid on the cover of the Mad Magazine, and Rachel “Eyebrows” Weisz is only passably pretty in my book. There are so many hotter couples.
”And Gina Carano isn’t “curvy.” She’s an MMA fighter. “Curvy” implies tits and ass and soft and feminine like Jessica Simpson or Kim Kardashian. Gina is all muscle.”
LOL!
One of my pet hates is how the word ‘curvy’ is automatically applied to any woman over a (UK) size 10. ‘Curvy’ is a body shape, not a body size. Very slim women can be curvy, and larger women might not be. Gina falls into the latter category: just because she’s not super-thin doesn’t necessarily mean she’s ‘curvy’. She isn’t.
Loved her in haywire, she is awesome, hot couple
I think the reason people are “meh” is because she doesn’t seem all that interesting. And neither does he for that matter. He’s handsome- yes. But I haven’t seen or read enough about him to make me have any idea about who he is personality-wise. So yeah- I’m “meh” about them too.
He was a good actor on The Tudors so he’s interesting to me.
I think she is cool as a fighter but I find her forced “acting” career to be dull as dishwater. I just don’t think she has any talent. Shes a pretty girl who came from a very rich family who got famous for being a hot girl who hit people. She was atrocious in Haywire.
She’s dull to me because she has no talent. And I just don’t care about actors with no talent.
I can’t believe some people want her to play Wonder Woman. God that would be atrocious. Wonder Woman doesnt just beat people up. She would be awful in that role.
I think they are well mAtched. I love that she is a beautiful woman who is also not a plastic stick figure. Good on them! I hope it’s a happy union.
Well you know if he treats her bad she can literally kick his ass.
She’s pretty but they look odd together. It’s probably real.
He is kind of meh. And I don’t know anything about her.
as a mother of a young daughter, it’s just refreshing to see a woman on the red carpet who’s not a typical hollywood actress/model shape…queen latifah, christina hendrick…
What makes you say she has curves?
Because she’s wearing a padded bra and has a bit more meat on her arms than usual?
He’s rather handsome, but she’s very…plain…
