Henry Cavill Shares Weight Struggles: "I Was Fat Cavill"
"I will say I was a lot bigger as Superman," he confesses. "A lot bigger. I'm not saying how much. It's modesty about the weight—I've always been worried about my weight—but I also don't want to invite that debate: Henry weighs this, so he's the perfect Superman. Or, Henry doesn't weigh this, and therefore he's not believable in the role."
Another defining moment during Cavill's boarding school days? His chance encounter with Russell Crowe, who now plays his father Man of Steel (and is equally fond of the British star).
"He was on campus filming Proof of Life," Cavill recalls. "Everyone was standing in a semicircle, and I thought, 'We look ridiculous, staring like he's some kind of prize pony.' So I walked up and said, 'Hi, my name is Henry. I'm thinking of becoming an actor. What's the acting world like?"
