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!

Nice to see my ol’ pal, Jonathan Rhys Meyers with his life clearly back on track.
JRM looked fit arriving at LAX on Thursday with his sexy long-term girlfriend Reena Hammer, dressed enviably fashionable in a stylish grey jacket and ripped jeans; the Irish actor appeared happy and glowing, sporting a healthy sunkist tan.
As he and Reena pushed their trolley full of not-notch designer luggage and Louis Vuitton duffles through the airport, The Tudors star couldn’t resist stopping for a sneaky puff on a cigarette just before his chauffeur driven car arrived…
Well, for someone who’s had his fair share of ups and downs over the past couple of years, including stints in rehab, smoking is one vice of his I won’t criticize…
See you in the gym Jonny boy!

The Tudors star was apparently drunk when he threatened workers at ‘Le Quotidien’ bar in terminal 2F of Charles de Gaulle airport…
