Superman Star Henry Cavill Reveals He Was Once a Chubby Kid!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s buff Superman star Henry Cavill showing off his amazing strength while swinging on a pole on a busy city street.
And in this month’s cover interview for Men’s Health magazine, Cavill who steps into the skin-tight suit and cape to play the hero in Man Of Steel, explains he was once a chubby kid who was given the nickname “Fat Cavill.”
He said, “It’s definitely a mean nickname, but kids are kids. Kids are cruel. Whatever… I was fat.”
Determined to bulk up for his ‘super’ role without the help of CGI or special effects, the Tudors actor, who chiseled his athletic 6’1″ frame down to 6% body fat to play a Greek warrior in Immortals, reveals how he lifted heavy weights and followed a strict diet with the help of Gerard Butler’s trainer Mark Dwight.“I had a big sense of pride,” stated Cavill.
“I was like, ‘No shading. I don’t want you to draw abs on me. I don’t want you to put dirt in the right places. I just want to do it myself. I want to have the body.”
He added: “I think the best thing I learned was that I can do it. A lot of people think they probably can’t, until they actually do. When I saw pictures I would say ‘Is that me?’”
Cavill joins fellow Brits Andrew Garfield and Christian Bale who have taken the U.S. by storm as Spider-Man and Batman; now he hopes Zack Snyder‘s reboot will have the same impact on the movie world, and we do too, Henry…we do too!

The Thigh’s The Limit For Jen At London Prem!

Stick a fork in her – she’s done! Hot chick Jennifer Aniston stepped out in a tinfoil-inspired minidress at last night’s premiere of The Bounty Hunter in London.
She paired the silver Valentino frock with Jimmy Choo heels and an Alexander McQueen tuxedo jacket and mancessory, co-star Gerard Butler.
The pair cuddled up for the cameras and lavished praise on each other.
Gerard, who I bumped into at the Chateau Marmont in LA last week said: “There’s nothing diva-ish about her, she’s very down to earth, very sure of herself and who she is, and I’m like a little kid, who doesn’t take myself too seriously.”We had a fun script and a great director, so we just had to dive in and it was a blast.”
The lovely Jen responded by saying, “I love my Gerry. We just lucked out – director fantastic, Gerry fantastic, our crew, New York – you just can’t go wrong.”
But despite rumours that they enjoyed an off-screen romance Gerard insists in this month’s Men’s Health that he’s not the womaniser people think he is. He said: “I get laid less now that I used to, because I’m way more paranoid now. Look at f***ing Tiger Woods.”
Er, I can understand you being worried about kiss ‘n’ tell stories Gerry, but it’s a slightly different situation. You’re single Gerard so you can s**g who you like.. And don’t forget, you were chasing every bit of skirt you could at parties thrown on Oscars week… I saw you dude! Does the name Sheila Shah ring any bells?!
