Henry Cavill Workout Routine For ‘Man Of Steel’ Turned Slender & Dashing British Star Into Superman With Mega Physique; Actor Says Regimen Was Draining & Intense

MTV news reports that back before the Man of Steel had begun filming, a majority of movie buffs had no clue who in the world Henry Cavill was. If you went searching for him on IMDB you would find out that he had roles in Stardust as well as The Tudors. These roles however would not let you picture him fitting the role of Superman in Man of Steel. When the pictures started trickling through however, many had to agree that there couldn’t be a better fit for the superhero role. Everybody has a way that they imagine Superman down to the face and when we finally got to see him, many won’t say it but it was exactly what they made him out to be.

MTV is not talking about the first official picture we saw where he was dressed in the newly updated Sup-suit in front of the bank. The suit was actually not bad at all but that is a story for another day. They are reporting about the paparazzi photos of the now mega-star which were taken after the oil rig sequence where he can be seen all raggedy and bare chested with a beard. That is when fans admitted he was stunning for the role.

Anybody who takes a look at the exclusive tiny feature from the soon to be released Man of Steel Blu-ray, it is not an easy feat to reach that level of super-human fitness. As soon as he got the role, he had to get into a rigorous work-out routine that made him realize that he was not as invincible as the character he was about to play. In a home-video release, Cavill talks about how to get into that super shape he had to be pushed to the brink of being fully drained but not badly enough to harm him.

According to MTV, it was cast trainer Mark Twight who was tasked with the job of turning the slender actor into a perfectly sculpted Superman. Cavil stated that Mark is one of the most incredible people he had ever met. Twight helped him achieve things that the actor spoke of doing but would not have been able to without the trainer. He made sure Cavill could see beyond his limits and work past them in the gym until he could barely even walk out properly but still make sure to be voluntarily present for the next session.
