Henry Cavill having a second childhood

Henry Cavill says gearing up for the new superman movie is like reliving his childhood. The actor is currently preparing both physically and mentally for his superhero adventure and that means some fun reading.

“I picked up comic books every now and again as a boy but I went to boarding school so had very little time for anything other than studying,” explains Henry.

“Now I’m kind of having this second childhood where I find myself reading a lot of comic books. It’s something not many people get the chance to do for good reason so I’m enjoying it.”

Henry recently revealed that he’s already been hitting the gym to prepare for the role.

“At this early stage I’m just doing some foundation training,” he said.

“I’ve done about a month so far and it’s really hard stuff, to get my body used to the real stuff, which is coming up soon. So at the moment it’s just getting my body in the right aesthetic shape.”
