It’s true that while Cavill isn’t the first actor to slip into Superman’s tights, he just might be the most successful. It’s one of any number of self-deprecating stories from someone who has every right to be a little bit cocky.
How many times have I been photographed with a shitty little bow tie I’ve been wearing the wrong way?” “The moment afterward, I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m dying. TheyĪll stood there like, ‘Ha-ha, you fucking wanker!’ ” Though someone eventually pointed out the mishap, Cavill says the damage was done. “I was wearing one of those, but what I didn’t realize is that as I was waiting in the line to get photographed, it had started to do this droop-and no one said a word. “You know those bow ties you just clip on?” he asks, referencing a wardrobe malfunction at a recent awards show. He’s only a guy.Ĭase in point: While Superman, who Cavill will portray for the second time in this spring’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, might be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, Cavill says he can barely master the finer points of formalwear. There’s just one problem: When you sit down and talk to Cavill, he makes it perfectly clear that he’s no hero. After all, the 32-year-old actor portrays the Man of Steel on the big screen, and even over an afternoon espresso at a central London café, he has no lack of Herculean characteristics: He’s tall and preternaturally strapping, with bright blue eyes-the left one marked with a spot of brown-and the sort of jaw that could have been designed by engineers. Pegging Henry Cavill as a real-life Superman is definitely an appealing prospect.
