Henry Cavill: What a ride!
Cavill's film with the director Guy Ritchie, 'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,' has reminded us just how far this hunky actor has come over the years.

The film is based on the true story of a secret British combat organization during World War II. Founded by Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming (yes, the creator of James Bond), the organization’s less-than-gentlemanly warfare against N a z 1 s m changed the course of the war and gave rise to modern black ops.

His next project: 'The Count of Monte Cristo' (2002)

A superstar is born in 'Man of Steel' (2013)
As a child, Cavill dreamed of being Superman and he achieved this in this and other franchise films, despite being previously rejected.
