Superman Hearts Money

I have already heard fandom whining. Knowing their mindset, it's because Henry Cavill didn't sugar-coat it with the standard, "I'd do it for nothing because I love the character so much" scripted answer. Speaking in the forthcoming issue of GQ UK (via Metro), the newly minted Man of Steel talks up salary:

"God, all those people who say, 'Oh no, the money doesn’t matter.’ Yeah, right. They're either mad, or they’re lying. I mean, come on. 'Oh no, don’t pay me anything, it’s for the arts.' I'm sorry, no. Pay me the money. I'm not doing it for charity. I'm not a nonprofit organization. Plus it's expensive flying back and forward to LA. You need a job that pays money.'"

He said absolutely nothing wrong.

Truth is he's not going to be Superman forever. While the red cape and blue suit are his, the smart thing is to make as much money as possible while the property is hot. So when his career inevitably hits the skids, he's secure.

If you take issue with this and Cavill's openness, to quote the great William Shatner, "It's time to move out of your parent's basements and grow the Hell up."
