HENRY CAVILL: My family are heroes.. my brothers would kick my ass if I acted like a movie star back home (IRISH SUN)

Henry is the fourth of five boys who grew up on the British Channel Island of Jersey.

He is very close to his family and credits them with keeping him sane and normal.

He said: “I have two amazing parents who always said ‘do the right thing, but do your own thing and always remain humble and thankful for what you get’.

“And my brothers threaten to kick my ass as soon as I’m not humble!

Henry Cavill, his father and brother, Charlie

“There’s something about being exposed in the world of acting and Hollywood that when you go home to your family it doesn’t matter what you say or what kind of mood you’re in, they know who you are.

“That’s special and very comforting. They know I am a good, honest person and that’s a very refreshing and quiet place to be.

“Every member of my family is a hero — my mother, my father and each of my four brothers. They have all shaped and moulded me with love and care and sometimes with very tough love.”

And Henry, who plays opposite Amy Adams as Lois Lane in the upcoming blockbuster, credits his siblings with honing his physical skills.

He said: “We fought like cats and dogs growing up, as boys do. But we had a rule that we never hit each other in the face.

“And that allowed us to be very physical and allowed us to be ourselves, but we set ground rules. There was always a sense of restraint and you never went past a certain line. That taught me certain life lessons — enjoy and indulge but never indulge too much, because if you do there may be bad consequences.”

Henry has been acting regularly in film and TV since he first appeared in The Count of Monte Cristo in 2002 and including Immortals in 2011 and The Cold Light of Day last year.

He starred in four seasons of The Tudors playing the part of Duke of Suffolk Charles Brandon, who raises the hackles of Henry VIII — played by Corkman Jonathan Rhys Meyers — by marrying his sister.

Henry remembers his time filming in Ireland fondly.

Henry Cavill: 'Man of Steel' star Henry Cavill needs nerves of steel (video) Bryan Alexander, USA TODA

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — Henry Cavill wears blue jeans, flip-flops and a T-shirt while walking through a flock of diners at Fishbar restaurant, but it might as well be a form-fitting bodysuit and a red cape.

Maybe it's his stride, physique, deep blue eyes and coiffed dark hair, the guy really does look like Superman, even while relaxing at a beach eatery.

"When my hair was longer months ago, you wouldn't have said as much," says Cavill, 30. "But at the moment, yeah, I guess there's a certain resemblance."

This "certain resemblance" was strong enough that director Zack Snyder nabbed the British actor to play the iconic comic-book character in Man of Steel, the much-awaited Superman reboot that hits screens June 14. It was also enough that Cavill was pursued for 2006's Superman Returns, though he lost out to Brandon Routh when the project switched directors.

Fifty Shades of Henry Cavill, why the 'Man of Steel' is Christian Grey FIFTY SHADES OF GREYFEBRUARY 6, 2013BY: BARBIE KAVETSKY (EXAMINER)

The debate over who should play Christian Grey began the moment the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie was announced and will continue to rage on until Universal Pictures announces the official cast for the film. E L James has said she has a few favorites but it is likely the author, who began as a huge "Twilight" fan, already had an actor in mind while writing the erotic trilogy. When looking at the facts, all signs point to Henry Cavill. On Feb 5, Brits United (THAT'S ME - LEAGUE OF BRITISH ARTISTS - YIKES - GOT THE BLOG NAME WRONG THOUGH) discussed the top 5 reasons Cavill should be cast as Christian Grey, some of which are mentioned here. Yet results on Feb 6 of a Wetpaint poll show the actor in fourth place behind favorites like Ian Somerhalder. This list will delve a little deeper into why Henry Cavill was likely the inspiration for Christian Grey and what makes him perfect for the role. Maybe the poll numbers will begin to shift as a result.
