Superman Henry Cavill was Nicknamed Fat Cavill

Superman Henry Cavill was Nicknamed Fat Cavill

The Man of Steel actor tells Men's Health that he was teased as a child for being overweight. He also talks again about missing out on James Bond.


Weight issues aren't just for mortal men and women. Henry tells Men's Health that he considered himself "round" for much of his life. He didn't start to feel better about his body until he start to train for his new movie Immortals. It was during that training process that Henry found the joys of working out with his fellow cast members. It's that group mentality of having everyone supporting each other as they lifted weights and ate tasteless meals all in the name of their craft.

In this day and age when muscles can be sculpted with airbrushes and computer generated, Henry accomplished his eight-pack abs with hard work and determination. "It's very stressful, Cavill says "waking up Monday morning and saying, 'Can I still see that vein in my abs?'"

Cavill Wasn't Always Super


The superhero began life a chubby little boy. As a child in England, Henry Cavill was known as "Fat Cavill." "It's definitely a shitty nickname," Cavill says, seated in a Chicago sidewalk cafe. "But kids are kids. Kids are cruel. Whatever. I was fat."​

Cavill & Zack Snyder on Henry Missing out on Superman


Technically, Man of Steel isn't Cavill's first time wearing Superman's cape. About 7 years ago he was cast as Clark Kent (and alter ego) in the last update of the franchise, Superman Returns. But when the original director, McG, abruptly quit, Cavill was gone with him. As it turned out, that flaccid sequel to the Christopher Reeve series proved to be kryptonite for the career of its replacement star, Brandon Routh.

"He's definitely more Superman now than he was 7 years ago, I think," says Man of Steel director Zack Snyder. "He has been the rock that we can build this movie around." That rock didn't spend the past few years sitting around. "I want to be chosen, not wish I was part of something," Cavill says. "I didn't pine over the fact that I didn't get the last one. It was 'move on, carry on,' whatever!"​

Cavill on James Bond


His other high-profile letdown: losing the role of James Bond to Daniel Craig just a year after losing Superman Returns. "I obviously wasn't right for Bond," Cavill admits now, secure that he gave it his all. "I did, and I wasn't right. That's all."​

Henry Cavill Talking About Superman

I have made a concerted effort to focus purely on the source material, which is the comic. I personally believe to focus too much on other people's interpretation of the source material is going to detract from my performance and my interpretation. It's a wonderful opportunity and there is so much material there. And there is such a wealth of...way he is represented across all the comics. That it's a deep well to choose from.

Daily, I'm learning more. Because as I'm experiencing it, as I'm performing...I'm...As you say, if you were to look at George Reeves, and Christopher Reeves and all that. I'm doing bits myself and therefore learning more about the character. Because hopefully if I do my job right, I'll be remembered and maybe fifteen years in the future someone will be saying Henry Cavill when the next chap is playing Superman.​

The photos and video are from the day after the green screen shoot with the helicopters. There are more photos of Henry, but they are a bunch of photos from the same two angles. I decided to only include the best image. In the video it starts with the green screen rescue shoot that you've seen, but then goes into the shot of the burning building that you haven't seen. This is most likely the hallway fire that was described in the official memo that I posted the other day.

Amy Adams Compares Henry Cavill To Kermit The Frog

Amy Adams Compares Henry Cavill To Kermit The Frog

The actress compared her new leading man in Man of Steel,to her most recent in The Muppets.

Amy Adams is starring in the new Muppets film which has earned heaps of praise from various critics. When Total Film asked her to compare her leading men from both The Muppets and Man of Steel, she had the following to say:

Henry Cavill is very Kermitty! There is a humility to Henry and that’s one of the reasons his Superman is going to be so compelling. He has this beautiful face and humble spirit and that’s really a hard combination to come upon.”​

Amy's comments seem to only convince me even more that Henry Cavill is the ideal actor to play The Man of Steel.

Hit the jump to take a look at a very cool set photo reportedly taken during filming on the Man of Steel set. The circumstances of how this truck ended up skewered on two lumber logs is unknown, but it's pretty impressive nonetheless. Josh Wilding - 1/11/2012

If there's one thing that director Zack Snyder is pretty much consistently good at, it's action, and Man of Steel looks to be just as brutal and awe inspiring in that respect as the likes of 300 and Watchmen. The guys over at Facebook - Superman: Man of Steel (2013) have just posted the following set photo from a scene which looks like it was torn straight out of a comic book! We're currently not 100% sure who or where this originated from so stay tuned for further updates in regards to its authenticity and be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

While director Zack Snyder and actor Henry Cavill while filming sequences for Man of Steel at Edwards Air Force Base in California, Cavill took the opportunity to thank the soldiers for all that they do. EdGross - 2/2/2012

The soon-to-be Superman, who has two brothers in the British military, met with 100 Airmen to sign autographs and pose for photos. 2/1/2012 - EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Actor Henry Cavill took a break from the rigorous shooting schedule for the Warner Brothers film "Man of Steel" to meet with Edwards Airmen, pose for photographs, and sign autographs at the Joshua Tree Dining Facility here Jan. 31.

"I have such great respect for military members and what they do," Cavill said . "It's important that they know how valuable their service is. It is a pleasure to tell them how much they're appreciated."

Senior Airman Lyndee Bennett, 95th Security Forces Squadron, summed the experience up with, "It was great that he took the time out of his busy schedule to do something so wonderful for the military. He was incredibly nice. It's amazing how an event like this humanizes the actors. I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet him."
 
Any of you guys notice the explosion in his size in less than half a year? I'm tempted to say he was on the juice.

Here was a before (you can't really see much, but you can imagine how skinny he probably is). Look at the shoulders, arms, chest and neck.

Wait. What was the question?
 
Could Tahmoh Penikett Be the Latest Addition to the Cast of MAN OF STEEL?

Could Tahmoh Penikett Be the Latest Addition to the Cast of MAN OF STEEL?
The information originally comes from the Internet Movie Database page of the movie, so you may take this with a grain of salt before we see any official announcement. According to the report, Penikett will play a character named Emerson, who is speculated to be Grant Emerson, better known as Damage, the son of Al Pratt (the original Atom). Check out the report and speculation by Cosmic Book News below...

It appears as if Battlestar Galactica's Tahmoh Penikett has been cast in the Man of Steel as "Emerson." IMDb has Penikett listed in the new Superman movie, where we've heard of at least a few additional cast members confirmed as well. Tahmoh Penikett could be playing the character of Grant Emerson, the DC Comics superhero known as Damage. What could be interesting in regards to the Man of Steel, is that Damage accidently blew up Atlanta where he was "recruited" by Sarge Steel to be a part of the government version of the Titans. Steel was head of the government's Department of Metahuman Affair/superhuman activities. Now, Penikett could just be playing a member of Colonel Hardy's squad, but could Zack Snyder be bringing in the big guns to take care of the aliens? Or could we just have a slight skirmish between Damage and Superman, with Supes stopping Damage from causing massive chaos?​
