the making of a man of steel

It's very hard work to transform your body in a year.

According to Hollywood Hunk and Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill, "It's a very, very long and involved process. Five months before shooting there was varying stuff which ended up being mass building and then leaning down. Throughout the shoot it was just waking up and making sure I got an hour in [of exercise] before I went to work. [He went through] a horrible eating phase … where we really, really leaned down. It was exhausting. They didn't force me to give anything up. They just cut my calories right down to 2,500 [a day]. And keep in mind, only a few months ago I'd been up to 5,000. So it was a big drop… It was hard but it paid off."

This is not the first time Mr. Cavill put himself through the grueling task of carving an Adonis figure for a movie role. We hear that stars do this all of the time. Some lose weight, some gain weight. Much respect to those who not only must commit to eating a very distinct diet, but must work out to build an incredible physique.

Henry's workout plan was akin to the workout used to train soldiers in the National Guard.


"Soldier of Steel"


Although Henry is quite candid about his days of adolescence where he was dubbed 'fat Cavill' still his pre-Superman body was nothing to laugh at.

Cudos to the grind, the sexy, and the cuts!

Henry is one hellacious hunk and we thank everyone who helped build this machine and put it into a skin suit!
