June 05 ‘Man of Steel’ star Henry Cavill needs nerves of steel
A great article and a new photo!
The British actor has seen starring roles, but never anything like iconic comic-book hero Superman.
Henry Cavill wears blue jeans, flip-flops and a T-shirt while walking through a flock of diners at Fishbar restaurant, but it might as well be a form-fitting bodysuit and a red cape.
Maybe it’s his stride, physique, deep blue eyes and coiffed dark hair, the guy really does look like Superman, even while relaxing at a beach eatery.
“When my hair was longer months ago, you wouldn’t have said as much,” says Cavill, 30. “But at the moment, yeah, I guess there’s a certain resemblance.”
This “certain resemblance” was strong enough that director Zack Snyder nabbed the British actor to play the iconic comic-book character in Man of Steel, the much-awaited Superman reboot that hits screens June 14. It was also enough that Cavill was pursued for 2006’s Superman Returns, though he lost out to Brandon Routh when the project switched directors.
The experience of having come so close just makes snaring the Man of Steel role that much more poignant. It also gave Cavill some valuable training for the path-seeking character he portrays.
“I guess you can say Henry was born to play Superman,” says Snyder, noting the actor’s physical similarities. “But all these life experiences have come together. He’s gone through a journey. In our movie, Clark Kent gets jostled around by life and then becomes Superman. Henry has done the same thing.”
Cavill already has had an impressive career, including roles in 2002’s The Count of Monte Cristo, Showtime’s The Tudors and 2011’s Immortals (which had a No. 1 opening weekend with $32 million).
But he also has shrugged off high-profile setbacks such as losing out to Daniel Craig for the role of James Bond.
“Having had all the ups and downs maybe made me want to work all the harder,” Cavill says. “Yeah, bad things will happen to you. And you’ll get kicked (down) a few times. Stand up.”
But with Man of Steel, “I got lucky enough to have a second shot with different people whose vision I fit into,” he says.

June 09 How Henry Cavill overcame obesity and bullying to become the first ever British Superman
When Henry Cavill was 17, Russell Crowe visited his school to film scenes for the 2000 film Proof Of Life.
âOne of the guys at school was playing Russellâs son,â says Cavill.âThe scene involved Russell coming to visit him. I was one of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) kids chosen to be in the background.
‘Between takes everyone was standing around and I thought, âWe all look like clunkers standing here staring at him.â So I went over and said, âHello. My name is Henry and Iâm thinking of becoming an actor.â
âHe was very encouraging. He told me, âSometimes they treat you well and sometimes they donât and sometimes the pay is great and sometimes itâs not. But itâs great fun.â
‘And then everyone else who had seen me chatting came over and started asking for his autograph. I waved at him and said, âQuick, run!â I remember he laughed.âA couple of days later I got a note from Russell that said, âDear Henry, the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Best, Russell.â
‘He also sent me a signed photo from Gladiator, an Aussie rugby jersey, some Aussie sweets and a jar of Vegemite. It was incredibly kind of him. It actually made me think, âYes, this is what I want to do.ââ
Thrilling though a chance encounter with a bona fide star must have been for a teenage boy, Cavill never dreamed his tale would have a Hollywood ending, but it has.
This week, the callow schoolboy becomes the first British actor to play Superman, in Man of Steel… and his mentor, Crowe, plays his father.‘Itâs amazing,â he laughs. âIt felt like he was there to greet me at the end of this long journey.â
Today, Cavill is standing on the set of Hollywood blockbuster Man Of Steel in Vancouver, telling me about the day he first donned the Superman cape.âI was infused with this childlike excitement. I had been to numerous fittings, through all the prototype phases, with hundreds of bits of the costume. I promised myself I wouldnât look in the mirror until the whole shebang was ready.
When I turned around, it took my breath away. The âSâ emblazoned on my chest, the boots, the red cape⌠Superman seeps into every boyâs consciousness.
‘I remember running around the garden with a makeshift cape, then later a hand-me-down from one of my older brothers.
‘The âSâ is the third most recognisable symbol on the planet, after the Christian Cross and Coca-Cola. It isnât a Halloweâen costume. I was Superman.â
There was a certain poetic justice in that moment, which was not lost on âFat Cavillâ â his phrase.
Staring back from the mirror was the once-obese teenager who had been bullied at that same boarding school where he met Crowe; the struggling British actor who had lost out on both an earlier role of Superman, then James Bond â to Daniel Craig.
âI donât know if I believe in fate,â Cavill, 30, had said when we first met. But vindication is surely his.As a teenager Cavill was overweight and unhappy. Aged 13, he arrived midway through the first term at Stowe, one of Britainâs most prestigious public schools, where fees are more than ÂŁ9,000 a term.
âI got there late and the other kids had all formed their groups and cliques,â he recalls as we sit to the side of a gigantic green screen during a break in filming a scene where Superman flies.
Six foot tall and nearly 16st, with an impressively chiselled jawline, Cavill looks every inch the superhero.
âI had been head boy at my prep school. I had ambition. I wanted to be head boy at my boarding school. I think, immediately, that put some noses out of joint.

March 20 Henry Cavill talks Fashion and Film for Shortlist Mode
Henry Cavill is featured on the new issue of Shortlist Mode and it has a brand new fashionable photoshoot, which I uploaded in the gallery, the article is below:
MODE cover star Henry Cavill talks to Andrew Dickens about the joy of polo necks, the fun of guns and the wardrobe issues of being Superman
For a man whoâs used to getting changed in a phone box, swapping clothes in the offices of a private air charter company must seem positively luxurious. Mind you, Henry Cavill needs the space.
Only weeks after he wrapped up filming the latest Superman film, with shoulders you could drive across and biceps like prize hams, heâs still sporting a superhero physique that can make us mortals feel simultaneously fat and skinny.
Heâs also just wrapped MODEâs jet-setting cover shoot. His look, as he swaggers around an airfield just outside Exeter (giving rise to âIs it bird? Is it a plane? Yes, itâs a planeâ gags), has a dash of Sixties styling, which is a nod to the next Cavill film to hit cinemas: Guy Ritchieâs take on the classic TV show The Man From UNCLE. Cavill, it transpires, loves clothes, loves dressing up, but thanks to those muscles, his passion has problems.
âItâs bloody expensive,â he says, now dressed down in a checked shirt and jeans, and digesting a sausage butty. âIâm buying new clothes every year. Iâm bigger than I was in the first Superman film (Man Of Steel), so I donât fit the same clothes I did then. And when I was doing The Man From UNCLE, I was smaller, so itâs a constant shift in body size and shape. Itâs fun, but youâve got to have a big closet, so you can leave stuff in there and go, âOh, back to that size again â I can wear that sweater’.
âBut I never throw stuff away because Iâve changed size. Things Iâve loved, Iâve worn so much Iâve had to get rid. Iâll love something so much, I still see it the way it initially was, and then a friend will say, âWhy do you dress like a homeless person? Look at your f*cking clothes, mate.â And then you realise that the T-shirt you adore has four holes in it. And that pair of jeans no longer has a fashionable rip, itâs just your knee hanging out.”
Cavillâs character in The Man From UNCLE is Napoleon Solo. Or, âthe one played by Robert Vaughnâ for those of us who spent childhood Saturday teatimes being entertained by TV repeats â always featuring men in roll necks â from this strange, colourful decade our parents banged on about. Solo, a postwar art thief-turned-Cold War agent, is the dapper playboy â who Cavill describes as âan arsehole with a heartâ â working alongside Soviet spying machine Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer in the film, David McCallum when it was on TV). Itâs Soloâs look that inspired the shoot. Cavill likes this.
âI really do,â he says. âI was looking at some photos of myself in The Man From UNCLE, and I thought, âThose are really great.’ I love wearing classic suits. And the great thing about the Sixties is that they had a little bit of flair. You can go big flair, or just a little bit, and I like a little bit. Iâm more of a classic guy; Iâm not outspoken, so itâs nice to wear something that looks so sharp and has a bit of colour.â
And your feelings on polo necks?
âPolo necks are great! Thereâs this attitude towards polo necks, where if you wear one, then all of a sudden youâre a dickhead. And itâs not fair, because polo necks look really good. Itâs just a matter of people opening their minds to it. We can wear all sorts of stuff these days, so why not a polo neck?”
Why not, indeed? And it wasnât just the polo necks Cavill enjoyed about the film; he claims Ritchie is âthe best person Iâve ever worked with. He makes great movies, but doesnât sacrifice any fun or enjoyment in the making â if I could do every movie in the future with him, I would happily do it.â This, of course, wonât be the case. For example, Ritchie isnât directing Stratton â the film for which Cavillâs currently preparing. Based on the John Stratton novels by ex-SBS commando Duncan Falconer, itâs something of a passion project for Cavill, whose brother Nik is in the Royal Marines, and heâs co-producing the film with another brother, Charlie.
âIâve always been a huge supporter of the Royal Marines, and therefore the SBS is largely â not entirely â drawn from the Marines,â he says. âItâs my chance to be the Marine I never got to be, and draw some attention to them, hopefully raise some money. Iâm an ambassador for the Royal Marines trust fund. And I like the guns and stuff. I do. Itâs fun.â
Nor did Ritchie get his hands on the biggest film of Cavillâs career to date, the currently titled Batman vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Next summerâs clashing of the capes â and cause of Cavillâs enormous wardrobe requirements â sees his Man Of Steel take on Ben Affleckâs Dark Knight. A major salvo from DC in the war with Marvel for comicfilmiverse supremacy, itâs a subject of anticipation and hope. What can he tell us about it?
âI canât tell you anything.â
Not even from a fashion perspective? Surely there was some costume envy. With all that black, Batman has a much more chic look. And external underpants have never caught on.
âIâm incredibly loyal to my character,â says Cavill, with genuine conviction. âI love him. Iâm protective of him. Supermanâs the dude. Heâs an absolute ledge. Iâd never say, âIâd prefer to be that superhero.â Iâm Superman.â
The Man From UNCLE is at cinemas nationwide from 14 August
July 15 The Hollywood Reporter: Suicide Squad & Batman V Superman Cast Photo
The Hollywood Reporter has released an exclusive photo with the actors and directors of WB/DC Comics:
Good and evil collided at The Hollywood Reporter’s exclusive Comic-Con photo shoot with the directors and stars of Warner Bros.’ upcoming DC Comics adaptations.
Superheroes and supervillains collided â quite amicably, we must say â at The Hollywood Reporter’s top-secret Comic-Con photo shoot.
After stunning the Hall H crowd on Saturday with new footage, 17 actors, as well as directors Zack Snyder and David Ayer, from Warner Bros.’ Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad â together comprising the long-awaited first phase of Warners’ DC Cinematic Universe â zoomed off for what would be their first photo together.
While both casts appeared during Warner Bros.’ panel, they didn’t take the stage at the same time. So THR’s photo shoot was not only the first time that the two casts got together, but for many it was their first time meeting one another entirely.
Jai Courtney mightily shook hands with Jesse Eisenberg while Henry Cavill chatted with Will Smith, who introduced him to Jay Hernandez. Cara Delevingne and Gal Gadot posed for a selfie together.
Ayer and his Suicide Squad cast â Smith, Margot Robbie, Courtney, Delevingne, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Hernandez, Adam Beach and Karen Fukuhara â arrived backstage first. They rushed to the craft services table, scarfing down sandwiches and snacks.
The group was on a whirlwind trip, to say the least. Ayer had been working on the film in Toronto until 1 a.m. Friday night, then woke up the next morning to fly with his cast to San Diego. They were in San Diego for a little under three hours before having to rush back out to the airport at 1 p.m. to head back to Toronto. Ayer, who was trying to convince his handlers to stop to get burritos before he headed back to Canada, needed to return to shooting second unit the next day.
Onstage, Ayer touted his villain-focused movie: “Whoâs got the best bad guys out there? DC Comics,” he said. “Iâm not trying to start no East Coast-West Coast feud with Marvel Comics, but someone has got to say the truth.”
The footage he showed was surprisingly dark in tone, but at the shoot Ayer told THR of the film, âThe real shock is how hilarious itâs going to be.â
Smith, who was the only castmember to speak (if only a few sentences) onstage during the Suicide Squad presentation, relished leaving the crowd wanting more.
“This was just a little taste,” he told THR backstage. “We’ll see them again next year.”
If the movies are part of a big DC family, Batman v. Superman is the older, more mature sibling on which the weight of responsibility falls. Suicide Squad is the bratty little kid, chewing bubble gum and tagging walls.
Each cast has bonded in different ways. Loud and boisterous, the Suicide Squad cast was bonded by an attitude fueled by brashness and exuberance.
âWe’re very much a squad,” said Robbie, with her co-star Delevingne joking, “We should start a dance squad.” Indeed, the cast was seen taking plenty of selfies together, laughing at inside jokes and throwing up their hands in faux-squad poses during the shoot.
The cast of Batman v. Superman looked on with bemusement, like they weren’t quite sure what to do with the family member that steals cars for a living. They were bonded too, it just showed in a more subdued way â like when Adams jokingly sat on Affleck’s lap when they were taking their seats for the shoot. But don’t let their quiet demeanor fool you: Adams photo-bombed Delevingne and Gadot with aplomb.
And while they may be only newly acquainted, there’s already a friendly rivalry brewing between the two casts, with the Suicide Squad group joking that they’d eat all the sandwiches before the Dawn of Justice cast got there. Affleck, meanwhile, joked that he wouldn’t be waiting on the slacking Suicide Squad to take his group photo.

The Article:
HENRY CAVILL: SUPER SPY
He’s a proper English gentleman who became Hollywood’s all-American badass. But strip away the tights, Savile Row suits, and secret identities, and who is Henry Cavill?Iâm having an afternoon beer with Superman.
More specifically, Iâm having a proper British pint, a golden, glistening glass whose shimmering depths promise all the glory of that most fleeting of moments: the English summertime. Itâs a rare sunny day in west London. Weâre sitting in the sweltering beer garden of a pub in leafy Twickenhamânear where Englandâs national team plays rugby union, the bone-crunching football-with-no-helmets battle royale often described as âa hooliganâs game played by gentlemenââand 32-year-old Henry Cavill is drinking his second pint of pilsner top (a pilsner with a dash of lemonade) and radiating contentment.
Cavill is wearing a shapeless dark green Royal Marines hoodie (his brother Nik is a lieutenant colonel who served three tours in Afghanistan and in the invasion of Iraq) and sporting a wildly tangled beard that would guarantee his anonymity had he not spent much of 2013âs blockbuster Man of Steel sporting, well, a wildly tangled beard. But no one bothers him. We are far from Hollywood, in every sense. âIf I suggested to an American journalist that we do an interview over a beer,â says Cavill, âtheyâd find it very weird.â (Full disclosure: I am also British.)
Beer, wooden tables, small dogs. The scene couldnât be more English if Her Majesty the Queen showed up with tea and crumpets. Itâs fitting, because Henry Cavill is a very English Englishman. Born in Jersey, the idyllic island in the English Channel (not the industrial zone adjacent to New York City) and educated at Stowe, the private boarding school, Cavill embodies what his fellow countrymen would identify as âofficer class.â Men with Cavillâs privileged upbringing and schooling are often accused of being snobs. But theyâre also described as steadfast, honorable, and unfailingly polite. Cavill is the latter. He is a gentleman. He is old-school.
So it came as something of a surprise, back in the U.K. in 2011, when Cavill was cast as the all-American Last Son of Krypton in Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder and producer Christopher Nolanâs dark, controversial take on the Superman origin story, in which Cavillâs carefully controlled moral turmoil suggests that Supermanâs true superpower is a stiff upper lip. His compelling performance established Cavill as an A-lister, cementing his spot in next yearâs sure-to-be-blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, in which he squares off against Ben Affleckâs Dark Knight, and two subsequent ensemble Justice League films, DC Comicsâ answer to archrival Marvelâs The Avengers movies.
Before all that, however, Cavill appears onscreen as a character who couldnât be more different from his clean-cut Kal-El. This month he plays the cynical, debonair thief-turned-super-spy Napoleon Solo in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., director Guy Ritchieâs frenetic reboot of the Cold War TV series. Joyfully unpretentious, the movie is a fast-paced marvel of period production design, like Mad Men, but with fights and car chases instead of pitch meetings and cigarettes. Playing opposite Armie Hammer (the Winklevii in The Social Network and the masked star of The Lone Ranger) as ascetic Soviet hardman Illya Kuryakin, Cavillâs Napoleon is a scoundrel with style. Forget truth, justice, and the American wayâSolo is out for himself.
Having claimed the mantle of cinemaâs ultimate good guy, is Cavill now also angling to take ownership of the most charismatic jerk in cinema?

November 21 Henry Cavill for Los Angeles Times: Superman’s Return in ‘Justice League’
Henry spoke with Los Angeles Times during the Justice League press junket in London early this month. He discussed Superman’s return in the film, and confirms he’s still contracted for at least one more film to appear as the Man of Steel.
By now itâs likely not a spoiler to reveal that âJustice Leagueâ includes the return of Superman, who sacrificed himself to save humanity at the end of 2016âs âBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.â That film, which was generally regarded as overly dark and somewhat unwieldy, gave audiences a version of Superman (Henry Cavill) that felt morose and off-base from the comic books. Here, filmmaker Zack Snyder â as well as Joss Whedon, who stepped in to direct the re-shoots â uses âJustice Leagueâ as a chance to reestablish the character.
âHeâs definitely different from previous incarnations,â Cavill says, speaking a few weeks ago during the âJustice Leagueâ press junket here. âI feel like this is the natural progression from the end of âMan of Steelâ into what he is now. This is a rebirth of the character, to coin the D.C. comics franchise right now: Itâs a refresh.â He adds, âThis movie highlights the qualities of Superman that exist in the comic books. Thatâs something Iâve always been very keen to highlight in the character. This rebirth provided the opportunity for me to play those characteristics.â
Superman was largely left out of the marketing campaign for âJustice League,â and most of the cast and the filmmakers did their best to keep the revival a secret for as long as possible. But fans, especially those familiar with the comic books, had been speculating for months, asking: âHow can you have âJustice Leagueâ without Superman?â One of the only clues for his return? Reports that Cavillâs mustache for the upcoming âMission Impossibleâ sequel had to be digitally removed during the re-shoots, meaning that Superman would be somewhere in âJustice Leagueâ (âThat damn mustache,â Cavill jokes). As it turned out, the studio always intended to include Superman but did its best to keep the rollout spoiler free.
âI think die-hard fans will know you can’t have the Justice League without Superman,â says producer Deborah Snyder. âWithout Superman, there was this loss of hope. At the end of [âBatman v Supermanâ], there was this impending doom. This danger that was coming. That was the impetus of Bruce [Wayne] recruiting the Justice League. That was the why. But the threat is so big and large that they still needed Superman. They needed to be a team.â
âHis self-sacrifice causes such a huge ripple,â adds producer Charles Roven. âIt’s so inspiring that his presence is really all over this movie before you know whether or not he’s going to come back. The world is not the same without him, because he was representative of hope. Here’s the thing: We wanted to make a movie that was about hope and the positive force hope is. And it meant that you had to bring him back.â
The process by which Batman (Ben Affleck) and the other members of the Justice League bring Superman back to life is complicated, involving several scenes that would be impossible to fully explain here. Suffice to say that Supermanâs lifeless corpse (which was not played by Cavill for these scenes) is not lifeless for long. And ultimately, itâs Supermanâs reaction to being awoken from death thatâs more interesting than how heâs actually brought back. His initial anger and confusion shift to an emotional confrontation with himself over whatâs happened to Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and his mother, Martha (Diane Lane), since his death.
âI think itâs very confusing for him in that scenario, as it would be for any of us,â Cavill says. âHeâs trying to work out what the hell happened. Iâm sure thereâs a sense of failure there, akin to that sense of âI wish I hadnât died so I could still be here and the world wouldnât be in the state itâs in now and I could have protected my mother and Lois from the pain theyâve been experiencing.â Thereâs that sense of guilt, but it comes with unconditional love. Itâs not rational. One of the great things about us is that we still care even though we may not have a reason to feel guilty.â

Also, check out a short interview below wherein Henry discusses how he approaches obstacles, and some behind-the-scenes clips from the photo session under the cut!
June 09 New Layouts + Gallery Update
Mr. Cavill has a new look! This one features the photoshoots taken last year with a little touch of Superman-inspired style. I hope you all love it as much as I do. I was planning on having a new one along with a gallery update for Henry’s birthday last month, but I couldn’t make it in time.
Speaking of which, I have updated the gallery with tons of stuff, new and some old ones updated with higher-quality versions, from public appearances to photo sessions to magazine scans! A lot of these stuff are from Annie that she had but didn’t have the time to sort or upload. I have also added high-resolution screen captures, back from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. to Justice League, including the Blu-ray special features from the latter. Make sure you give our gallery a visit!
July 10 Henry Cavill for Square Mile
Henry has blessed us with another gorgeous photo shoot as he graces the cover of this month’s issue of Square Mile magazine! He discussed a lot in this interview, including the much-awaited Mission: Impossible – Fallout, being Superman, some of his earlier projects, and much more. Check out the two covers and some outtakes in our gallery.
Cavill is bigger: north of 6ft, and with a build to make a wardrobe search for the nearest brick shithouse to cower behind. Your grandmother would describe him as a âstrapping young fellowâ, while your wife quietly slips her wedding ring into the nearest drawer. Never has a man looked quite so obviously Leading.
A cinematic star needs a cinematic setting â so we recruited the Shangri La penthouse at the Shard, and thus half of London sprawled out beyond gigantic panes of glass. We have gathered on the X floor of Europeâs tallest building to discuss Cavillâs role in Mission: Impossible â Fallout; or rather the little that Cavill can discuss about his role in Mission: Impossible â Fallout.
Refreshingly for a modern blockbuster â where spoilers are tossed into the first trailer, and the plot can be deciphered a month before general release â very little is known about the sixth installment of the M:I franchise. Naturally, it stars Tom Cruise as daredevil superspy Ethan Hunt, naturally there is a countdown to an imminent global catastrophe, and naturally a lot of vehicles will blow up.
Cavill is the headline addition to an ensemble cast that includes returning M:I alumni Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan, and Ving Rhames â a veteran of the very first installment way back in 1996. (Cavill was 13.) Our man plays âprimary antagonistâ August Walker â a thrusting CIA agent whose methods clash with Huntâs inexhaustible heroism. (Hunt canât be much chill, although neither is Walker by the sound of things.)
âI’m forced upon Ethan’s team by the director of the CIA. August Walker is a sledgehammer to Ethan’s scalpel. He will get the job done no matter what. His MO is so different to Ethan’s that naturally they don’t get along at all. Walker has no problem with collateral damage,â notes Cavill with a certain fondness. âHe’s fine with it.â
Which is fortunate, as the trailer promises plenty of collateral will be duly damaged. Including the leading man: Tom Cruise broke his ankle chasing Cavill across the rooftops of London. (Fortunately for on-set harmony, the men were filming at the time.) Cruise, the utter pro, finished the take, but production was halted for several weeks.
Cavill spent the hiatus developing the character of Walker â and enjoying a little downtime. Every cloud⌠âI didn’t break my ankle, so I got a holiday and my character got better!â he says cheerily. âWasn’t even a cloud: just silver lining!â
After such a mishap, it might seem prudent to tackle the dialogue scenes and retire to the trailer for the heavy stuff. Cavill is made of sterner stuff, and insisted on performing the vast majority of his own stunts. (He canât share much details about the lone outlier, except to warn: âIf you have two actors involved in that stunt, it increases the risk tenfold. And when we’re talking about that kind of stunt, if the risk goes up just a little bit, people die.â)
Read the full interview over at Square Mile.
July 10 Henry Cavill for GQ Australia
We must be in heaven because we got two new photo shoots in one day! This time, it’s for GQ Australia, and the outtakes are very pretty. It reminds me of the Men’s Health shoot back in 2008. In the interview, Henry discussed his best life lessons, the #MeToo movement, the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Fallout, and more. Check out the outtakes in our gallery and a snippet of the interview below.
As I set my phone on record, it starts to feel as if Iâm about to get Dorffâd. âItâs better to step away,â says Cavill when asked whether he reads his own interviews. âA lot of stuff, in the written word, sounds very different from the intention.â
Cavill is still a little reluctant to open up. When asked what a visit home to Jersey gives him, he says it acts as a chance to reflect on how heâs changed each year.
So, how has he changed this year?
âThe usual things, that people change every year.â
Anything more specific?
âYou start to reflect on the past and consider the future while enjoying the present.â (6. âKeep secretsâ.)
Again, we are empathetic. Cavill is coming off a long run of work: Mission: Impossible â Fallout (the sixth instalment of the Tom Cruise-led action-film franchise in which he plays a moustachioed foil to Cruiseâs eternal Ethan Hunt) â was a marathon shoot, and itâs about to enter a marathon publicity tour.
Cavill spent a year working with Tom Cruise, and says precisely what so many say about Cruise. âTom has got this incredible energy. Heâs very charming and very engaging. He will remember details of your first meeting which you donât remember. Youâre person number 600 that he met that day, but heâll remember your dogâs name and that your brother was unwell that day.â
Suffice to say, when youâre managing a Mission: Impossible workload, and blockbuster-sized demand, you need to draw lines.
So, Henry Cavill has boundaries. He wonât pose for photos at airports because, in the event of a mob forming, heâd rather not hide in a toilet. He wonât pose for photos at the gym, either â in-between sets is âmeâ time, and thatâs fair. He wonât text at the dinner table â not unless heâs asked permission in advance. (21. âDonât allow the phone to interrupt important moments. Itâs there for our convenience, not the callerâs.â)
He has an extraordinarily tight circle of friends, and theyâre tightly curated. Heâs heard the, âYouâve changedâ thing before, and if youâre saying that, you already donât get it, and you may not have really ever been friends.
His real friends? They get it. âThey go, âWow! He is worked to the bone. Poor guy. I wonder how we can support him.â Rather than, âWhatâs wrong with you?ââ

August 02 Henry for Prestige Hong Kong
We are on a roll! Henry is featured in this month’s issue of Prestige magazine, and it is such another gorgeous shoot. Check out the cover and some outtakes in our gallery!
Henry Cavill is a gentleman. Itâs in his actions, his diction, his dress sense and the fact that heâs unfailingly polite. When he arrives at our top-secret photo shoot location, heâs wearing a Royal Marines Charity hoodie, blue jeans and smart brown shoes â and, until now, Iâve never seen anyone look so dapper in jeans and a sweatshirt. Cavill also holds the door open for me on two occasions. Itâs the small gestures that add up. This 35-year-old British actor has accomplished a lot, but still remains humble in whatâs known to be a fickle industry.
âWhat is it like being considered a sex symbol?â Heâs a bit surprised by the question and responds by saying, âOh, God. Am I? I donât know if Iâm considered a sex symbol. âI donât knowâ is the answer to that question. I think, I mean, cool? If thatâs the case, yay? My brothers will have a good laugh about that.âÂ
Cavill has starred in a string of box office hits including his performance as Napoleon Solo in the action spy comedy The Man from U.N.C.L.E., not to mention him suiting up for the role of Clark Kent/Superman in three DC films. This summer, weâll also catch him on the big screen in Mission: Impossible â Fallout.Â
Off-screen, Cavillâs schedule is hectic. Besides co-founding the film, TV and events company Promethean Productions with his brothers Charlie and Ben Blankenship, Cavill is actively involved in charity work as an ambassador for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and The Royal Marines Charity, a British organisation that provides support to serving marines, veterans and their families.
Cavill was born in Jersey in the Channel Islands, where the beach was just a 15-minute walk from the family home. The second-youngest of five boys, his career began when he bagged the role of Albert Mondego in the 2002 adaptation of Alexandre Dumasâ The Count of Monte Cristo. Back then, he was just a lad at Englandâs Stowe School and it was uncertain whether heâd pursue a full-time acting career. But by the time the movie had wrapped, Cavill had two agents, one in the UK and one in the US.Â
Starring as the most famous comic-book character in not one but three blockbuster films, Cavill was the lead in Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League (the first two are the highest-grossing Superman films of all time). As it turns out, âSupes,â as he affectionately calls him, was also the young Cavillâs favourite superhero.
