'They used to call me Fat Cavill': Hollywood heartthrob Henry admits he was teased for being overweight as a teenager
He's one of Hollywood's finest leading mean, but Henry Cavill hasn't always been so popular.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E star admits he was mercilessly teased as a teenager for being overweight and having spare 'rolls', with one cruel classmate even pointing out it looked like he had 't**s'.
'They used to call me Fat Cavill,' Henry told Men's Fitness. 'I actually had rolls of fat on me.'
'They also called me a "lemon", a guy who gets nowhere with the girls.'
Henry looks adorable as a chubby-cheeked youngster in flashback images showing him sitting on the front row of his cricket team photo at St Michael's Prep School in Jersey.
The teasing only got worse when, aged 13, he arrived midway through the first term at Stowe, one of Britain’s most prestigious public schools where fees are more than £9,000 a term.
Henry was made to feel an outcast from the start and would cry down the phone three times a day to his parents because he was so homesick.
These days, the 32-year-old star's chiselled and muscular physique has earned him the lead role in action films like Superman reboot Man Of Steel, and he has legions of female fans throwing themselves at his feet.
But Henry believes he still has the capacity to balloon, telling Men's Health that he's always an 'indulger' and never deprives himself of the finer things in life.
The heartthrob previously opened up about his tortured past to Event magazine, revealing that his peers picked on him because he was an easy target.
'There was nothing physical I was a chubby kid but I wasn’t a weakling', he said.
'I could have stood up for myself in that department. It was name-calling, and kids do that. So I comfort ate.'
Henry endured a gruelling physical transformation in 2013 to play the role of Superman in Man Of Steel and at one point was reduced to a diet of 1800 calories per day in a bid to slim down.
‘The production hired a trainer to work with me', he said. I’ve always been physical but I’m not always in the gym. In pre-production I was knackered all the time.'

Henry Cavill Says He's "More of a Relationship Guy"
And 10 other fun facts about The Man From U.N.C.L.E star.
The only guy who can get away with (Super)man-spreading — Sexy Brit Man of Steel Henry Cavill — kicks it cape-free this summer as Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE "Napoleon is more of a ladies' man than Superman is. I'm not quite as earnest as Superman, not quite as much of a rogue as Solo."

ON THE ROCKS "I'd be impressed if a girl drank Jack and Cokes with me … and tried to keep up!"

FIGHT RIGHT "You can't make everyone happy. And someone shouting at you doesn't mean you're wrong. What matters is maintaining your integrity."

TOTAL SUCKER FOR… "Confident women. The world is filled with people uncomfortable in their skin. So someone who hasn't got a front on is very attractive. I don't date much. I'm more of a relationship guy."

PUCKER UP "I was a pretty awkward kid and really didn't have girls fancying me. My first kiss was outside a dance when I was 12, and it was one snog and out!"

​SUPERMOVES "When I go somewhere where there's music playing, I'm not the guy who runs to the dance floor, I find it awkward. But after a few drinks, I definitely enjoy a dance. Is it a strength or a weakness? I don't know, I've been told some good things from time to time, but I'm no John Travolta by any means.​"

​CHILL DOG "My pet's name is Kal. Not Kal El, like Superman, just Kal. He's an informal dog."

​POWER WOMEN ​"Strong women are nothing new for the comic book world. I'm glad they are being represented a bit more in film and on TV. Wonder Woman has been around forever, she is an incredibly strong character. She can go toe-to-toe with Superman sometimes.​"

​SUPERMAN'S LOBSTER: LOIS LANE OR WONDER WOMAN ​"This is a very long discussion because there are a lot of questions to be asked and answered. I mean who is better for a super-powered alien, a human or a goddess? Yes, the goddess can do all the normal things, which we would think are normal in a relationship, and not have any fear of Superman. But you also need to have that baseline of humanity, which Lois provides. And literally keeps his feet on the ground, keeps him down to earth. So that's more of a debate than an answer."

​BINGEWORTHY SCOTS ​ "I watched a TV show recently that I thought was absolutely spectacular: Outlander. It's so good I watched it from beginning to end in almost one night. I couldn't stop. Jamie is a Scottish Superman, for sure!

​BOXERS OR BRIEFS UNDER THAT CAPE? ​"Superman is a polite Kansas boy and would never tell you either way. It would be un-gentlemanly to discuss.​"
