Superman Stud Henry Cavill Smoulders As Man Of Steel Hits Australia

Superman stud Henry Cavill sent fans wild at the Man Of Steel premiere in Sydney on Monday night as he brought the big screen re-make to Australia. Fans had camped out for a glimpse of the hero and braved bad weather as they waited for a glimpse of the son of Krypton.

The British hunk, who has seen his profile sky rocket thanks to the Zack Synder directed movie smouldered on the red carpet as he arrived for the latest premiere of the movie. Henry might look at home in his skin tight blue suit and red cape on the big screen, but he's not exactly bad in a sharp suit either.

Admitting in a recent interview he'd thought long and hard about just how he should look as Superman and recently told Reelz.com, he'd decided on chest hair, he said: “It’s something that I wanted to because in the comic book Death of Superman, there’s this bit where his costume’s ripped, and he’s making the ultimate sacrifice—and he’s got this hairy chest!” 

“I was like ‘Okay, why is there this perception that because he’s muscly, he must have no body hair?’ And I thought why can’t we just do that, like in the comic books.”

Cavill was joined on the red carpet by his on-screen father Russell Crowe who plays Jor-El in the movie and it seems the pair aren't just close on screen, with the Jersey born stud telling Confidential in Australia: 

"I appreciate having such talented actors as Russell around me. It's nice to be around people who are so good at what they do."

It was certainly a family affair in Sydney, with Crowe's sons Tennyson and Charles joining their dad on the red carpet.

Claiming it was the first movie his sons were actually excited about the Oscar winner told the AAP: "They're never really impressed with me. I'm just dad, the taxi driver, but they love the film and they're here again tonight because they wanted to see it a second time."

Despite the huge success of the movie Superman failed to get to the number one spot at the US Box Office with Disney's Monster's University hitting the number one spot, after taking $82 million.
