How Does Superman (Henry Cavill) Expect to Shave that Beard??

Posted by SOS Staff On November - 11 - 2011

The Good Folks over at MovieLine.com sat down with Cavill and had the following questions for him:

While shooting Man of Steel you've got people wondering things like what earthly tools are strong enough to shave or maintain Superman's beard. Is it a strange thing to deal with, people focusing so much on these kinds of non-serious aspects instead of your work?

[Laughs] "I think in this day and age it's all part and parcel. There are people taking photographs of us working all the time. It's just one of those things; you've got to take it in stride. And you know, I put all the prep work into it. I'm not necessarily being shot in the best, most flattering of lights, but I put the hard work in and the performance will come later. People will see the movie, hopefully. It'll help when people see these photos beforehand, from various movies, to sell them more on the character. So it's less of that transition phase from seeing an actor on screen to believing a character and getting wrapped up in the story being told."

 

Superman's such a familiar character, so deeply ingrained in pop cultural history. What do you think fans will be most surprised to see added to the canon in Man of Steel?

 

"There's only so much I can say, I'm afraid, about the job or the character. But what I can tell you is that we're going to make him easier to relate to, and it's a modernization of the role."

Henry Cavill: The Action-Figure. Coming Soon.

Posted by SOS Staff On November - 10 - 2011

 

The LA Times wrote a bio of Cavill for the release of his new film "Immortals", where Henry commented on his reaction to having his likeness turned into an action figure for "Man of Steel"

 

"I met the guy who is making the action figures the other day, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience, but I was absolutely stunned by the whole experience, too,"

Cavill said.

"I was shaking hands with a guy who is making a toy out of me. I don't think there's any shame in being really excited about it. It's mega-weird, but as long as you don't get too wrapped up in it, it's great. And you know, I don't want it to end."
