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.

Based on a true story in WWII

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. Want to know more about its star? Here are key moments in Henry Cavill's career.

He began his career in a film nobody saw: 'Laguna'

Cavill started his acting career in 2001 with 'Laguna,' a film that went unnoticed but served as his first foray into the film industry.

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

As Albert Mondego in 'The Count of Monte Cristo,' Cavill captured audience attention. His portrayal of the protagonist’s son was crucial for his development as an actor.

His rise began on the series 'The Tudors' (2007-2010)

His role as Charles Brandon, the best friend and advisor to King Henry VIII in 'The Tudors,' solidified his fame. The critically acclaimed series allowed him to demonstrate his ability to portray complex and charismatic characters.

His first big Hollywood opportunity 'Immortals' (2011)

He played Theseus, the mythological Greek hero who battles the Minotaur in 'Immortals,' where he showcased his physical prowess in action films.

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. In 'Man of Steel,' Cavill became the face of a new era for the superhero, earning praise for his performance—and so far, it seems he has escaped the curse of actors who play Superman!

His first villain in 'Mission: Impossible – Fallout' (2018)

His role as August Walker in 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' allowed him to show his acting range in a globally recognized franchise.

His consecration in 'The Witcher'

As Geralt of Rivia, he ventured into streaming productions, portraying an enigmatic monster-hunting witcher with a formidable physique in a fantastical setting. He followed this with roles in 'Enola Holmes' and 'Argyle,' all for Netflix.

Ranked as "The Se*iest Man" on several occasions

Various magazines around the world have given him this title, the most notable being People in 2022. This has led to a curious phenomenon: whenever someone else is named, his fans cause a stir and reaffirm Cavill as the most handsome. This may be due, in addition to his physical appearance, to his humility and seemingly kind spirit.
