At Stowe, Cavill was active in both sport and drama. He portrayed a member of the T-Birds in a 1999 school production of Grease and took the lead role in a performance of Dogg's Hamlet, which was made by his own Grafton house as their submission for an intra-school drama festival.[6][7] He played field hockey for the 1st XI and rugby for the 3rd XV.[8]
In 2000, while playing rugby, 16-year-old Cavill met actor Russell Crowe, who was shooting on location at Stowe for the film Proof of Life.[9] The actor shared some acting tips and later sent a package to Cavill. The two actors later worked together on Man of Steel.[10][11]
From 2007 to 2010, Cavill had a leading role in Showtime's television series The Tudors, as Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. The series was commercially well-received and it went on to be nominated for a Golden Globe in 2007 and won an Emmy in 2008. Cavill gave the show credit for bolstering his career: "It's done the most for me to date. [...] Now that there's an audience somewhere in America that's aware of who I am, I have more sell-ability, because of The Tudors."[13]Entertainment Weekly named him the "Most Dashing Duke" and praised his work on The Tudors for displaying "charm, depth and a killer bod".[14]
Cavill had been set to play Superman in McG's 2004 film, Superman: Flyby. McG pulled out of the project and direction was taken over by director Bryan Singer, who recast Brandon Routh as the lead in Superman Returns.[15][16] Cavill was also the cause of a write-in effort from fans to see him cast as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005).[17] The role eventually went to Robert Pattinson. Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series, was outspoken in favour of Cavill playing the character of Edward Cullen in the Twilight film,[18] calling him her "perfect Edward".[19] However, by the time production of the film began, Cavill was too old to play the character,[19][20] and again the role went to Pattinson. Despite reports that he was a contender for Batman in Batman Begins, Cavill confirmed that he never auditioned for, nor was offered, the role.[15][21]
In 2005, Cavill was a final choice for the role of James Bond in Casino Royale.[21] The producers and director Martin Campbell were torn between him and Daniel Craig; reportedly Campbell supported Cavill but the producers preferred an older Bond, and Craig ultimately landed the role.[15][22]
On 30 January 2011, it was announced that Cavill had been cast in the role of Clark Kent / Superman in director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.[26] Snyder called Cavill "the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield."[27][28] Entertainment media applauded Henry Cavill on his road to success.[29][30] On being chosen for the role, Cavill commented, "In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honoured to be a part of his return to the big screen."[31] Cavill reprised the role of Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a 2016 sequel which featured a crossover with Batman[32] and Wonder Woman.[33][34] He attended San Diego Comic-Con in disguise to surprise the cast of Suicide Squad.[35]
Cavill returned as Superman in the 2017 theatrical version of Justice League, which had been reworked by director Joss Whedon after Snyder left the project due to a family tragedy.[36] He appeared again in Zack Snyder's Justice League which premiered on HBO Max in March 2021 after an intense fan campaign to see the Snyder cut.[37] His manager Dany Garcia said in 2016 that he was working on a new standalone Superman film.[38] Directors Matthew Vaughn[39] and Christopher McQuarrie[40] were reportedly interested. Shortly after the release of Justice League, Cavill revealed he was under contract to play Superman in one more film.[41]
From 2019 to 2023, Cavill portrayed the mutant monster hunter Geralt of Rivia in the hit Netflix fantasy drama The Witcher, an adaptation of the book series of the same name by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.[47][48][49] The series premiered on 20 December 2019[50] and had its early premiere on Służewiec Racetrack in Warsaw on 18 December 2019.[51] In late October 2022, Cavill and Netflix announced that he would exit from The Witcher after the third season released in 2023, and would be replaced by Liam Hemsworth.[52][53]
In May 2021, it was announced that Cavill would portray the lead role in the reboot of Highlander, although his exact character is unknown.[57] In July 2021, it was also announced that Cavill would join an all-star cast for director Matthew Vaughn's new spy film Argylle.[58][59] The same month, an article by Deadline reported that he would star in The Rosie Project, directed by Steve Falk and based on the book of the same name, written by Australian author Graeme Simsion.[60]
Cavill negotiated what was intended to be a one-time contract with Warner Bros. to return as Superman in Black Adam,[61] and appeared in a cameo in the mid-credit scene of the film.[62][63] Later a sequel to Man of Steel was put back in development, with Cavill set to return.[64]
He confirmed in October 2022 that he would appear in future DCEU films and referred to his mid-credits cameo as "just a very small taste of things to come".[65] However, in December 2022 Cavill released a statement saying that his future involvement as Superman was no longer moving forward after meeting with new DC Studios executives James Gunn and Peter Safran; Variety reported that Cavill was eyed to play a different DC character.[66]
After the acquisition of global rights to the Warhammer 40,000 franchise by Amazon Studios in December 2022, Cavill was attached to star in and executive produce projects related to it.[68]
Cavill was listed as one of GQ's 50 best-dressed British men in 2012.[71] In December 2013, he was named "World's Sexiest Man" by British Glamour magazine.[72] The same year, Empire magazine placed him third on their list of "The 100 Sexiest Movie Stars 2013".[73]
In early 2008, Cavill became the face of the British fragrance Dunhill.[74] He appeared in two television commercials for the brand.[75][76]
Personal life
Cavill was born on Jersey, an island in the Channel Islands. Cavill resides in South Kensington, London.[77][78][79] He was engaged to English show jumper Ellen Whitaker from 2011 until
2012.[80][81] In May 2021,[82] he announced his relationship with Natalie Viscuso.[83] On 15 April 2024, it was announced that they are expecting their first child.[84]
He has been an avid gamer since childhood,[88][89] at one point missing a phone call from Zack Snyder telling him he got the role of Superman because he was too busy playing World of Warcraft.[90] He prefers PC gaming over consoles, having been introduced to it by his father when he was a young boy,[91] and has been building and maintaining his own gaming computer.[92][93][94] He credited his experience playing The Witcher video game series prior to the show's production with motivating him to seek out the role of Geralt.[88] He has also named the Total War series of strategy games to be among his favourites,[95] and in May 2020 it was announced that a new character paying tribute to Cavill and his Witcher character Geralt would be added to Total War: Warhammer II via DLC: Cavill, Loremaster of Hoeth.[96] Cavill also enjoys the Warhammer 40,000 series of games and fiction, saying he "genuinely can't get enough of the lore they have built over the decades."[97]
