Hey Henry,
I think you are a very sweet and warm hearted person! I just now noticed we have a lot of things in common. Like our birthdays are both in May, were both Taurus’, have dark brown hair,like the show dexter,and athletic. Btw I think you played an AMAZING role in SuperMan: Man of Steel!!!
Your an amazing actor to!
Wow! Smuckers and his body go together. I wonder what flavor we should try first. Hmm let’s see. Strawberry on his lips and chocolate on his n*pples? He is a god and I have a dirty crush on him. LOL.
Henry is a great actor and he appears to be very humble too. So far I have heard he is a nice person. I hope whoever he settles with truly deserves him and vice versa.
49 inch chest my arse.
outrageously good looking fella though
I saw him in the movie Man of steel…I think he has every quality of being a lady’s man.I must say he is someone whom to watch…on and off screen….And My fav superhero is the Superman since my childhood and this is the prime reason I like him….May god bless him….(a fan from India)
I actually got to meet him in Los Angeles, he is not a full 6’1″, he is slightly shorter, a celebrity height database has his real height as 6’0.5″, and his modeling resume lists him as 184cm which translates to 6 feet .4 of inch tall. I am 6’1.5″ but downgrade my height to 6’1″. Apparently some people were not happy with him being British and being the shortest actor to portray Superman on film. Both Brandon Routh and Christopher Reeve were considerably taller. Reeve was 6’4″ and Routh 6’3.5″. He seems to make up for his lack of stature with muscles, but does not have much of a personality as Superman, he throws a lot of punches but hardly has any dialogue.
He is a good looking actor, but the other Superman actors were also good looking too. I honestly think given his dark demeanor, he would be a better Batman than Superman. People keep raving about Christian Bale, but Bale’s Batman was good but not amazing. Cavill looks like Bruce Wayne, he has an aristocratic look, that is why he does not make a good Clark Kent. Kent has to be a regular humble nice guy.
