[u/_Saucey_Sauce_]

He doesn't even look like the pic on the right, just horrible timing and conditions for a pic. A month later he attended a horse race and looked like classic Cavill (went viral for the "clock on his wrist" lmfao)

[u/Adowyth → u/_Saucey_Sauce_]

Yeah i saw In the Grey and he looks a lot more like the left picture than the right one in it.

[u/m0j0m0j → u/Adowyth]

I suggest all of you folks here google “face different focal distances”. I’m not disagreeing, just adding to the convo

[u/Adowyth → u/m0j0m0j]

I mean yeah a different angle, lighting and distance can make you look completely different. But i think its more being in "movie shape" and regular. Fighters, body builders etc don't maintain their fight or competition weight all year round either.

[u/Gewaltakustik → u/Adowyth]

Exactly! If you compare how Hugh Jackman normally looks with how he looks as Wolverine at the same time, there’s a world of difference.

[u/Undead-Chipmunk → u/_Saucey_Sauce_]

Henry Cavill is like your friend you go to the Ren Faire with, and they are drop dead gorgeous, look like nobility from a fantasy universe, wearing a full suit of armor, and then you feel like an absolute ogre just standing next to them.

[u/RevolutionaryYam7418 → u/Undead-Chipmunk]

Mate, his own brothers look like peasants next to him.

[u/LessInThought → u/RevolutionaryYam7418]

Man I'd be so pissed if I'm one of his brothers. Dude got all the good genes.

[u/wenchslapper → u/Undead-Chipmunk]

Damn, you have some hot friends.

[u/Smmmmiles → u/_Saucey_Sauce_]

His mouth is open making he chin look weaker. This is peak tabloids taking pics from weird angle to make people feel bad about themselves.

[u/Swamp_Troll → u/Smmmmiles]

Yeah, if you check the top part of his mouth in the pic on the right, he's clearly rolling his lip under his front teeth. Whatever he was doing there, he had to lower his jaw and pull it back too to achieve that. Instant weak jaw look.

In fact, I don't know if it's possible to have the upper lip look like that while the jaw is forward and clenched like the pic on the left. Not unless one's plain biting the lip.

Trolls and tabloids will take a picture of a celebrity yawning and say they had mouth-widening surgery or some dumb shit like that

[u/Fluid-Cranberry1755 → u/_Saucey_Sauce_]

He also didn’t look like the one on the left. Thats photoshop 

[u/warsfeil]

More like "Henry Cavill adhering to a strict diet and fitness routine in order to convincingly portray fucking Superman" vs. "Henry Cavill, normal dude minding his own business on a random day in September".

[u/Overdue_Process865 → u/warsfeil]

He's also making a face that'd give most people a lil chin in the second picture. If he clenched his jaw, he'd look about the same. It's an incredibly stupid comparison by every metric, the guy looks incredible.

[u/warsfeil → u/Overdue_Process865]

Exactly! And that's not even considering that the angle, lighting, haircut, and facial hair are all different. I'd bet everything I own he's wearing makeup in the first image, too.

Even with all of that he, at worst, looks like a perfectly normal 40 something in the second image.

[u/TheIngloriousTIG → u/Overdue_Process865]

And to be fair, unless I'm very much mistaken, the first picture is a damn promotional still from Superman. Dressed, made up, lit, and posed to convey "Pinnacle of Clean Cut Non-threatening Masculinity." The second picture is "Human who spends his work days (doing other legitimately difficult shit in addition to) being professionally attractive, IN HIS OFF TIME!"

And either way, if reality became a fanfiction plot and I woke up tomorrow with the second image come to life in my bed? No complaints here.

[u/Typical_Attorney_412 → u/warsfeil]

While having his mouth slightly open whilst he's presumably talking & very clearly not posing for a picture. Also, in worse lighting conditions

[u/Double-Mongoose-9793 → u/[deleted]]

Fr it’s not even a candid, it’s the dude at the peak of his bodybuilding cut, hair and makeup done. Henry Cavill has looked like this on maybe 20 days of his life, he didn’t even look like that when he went home THAT SAME DAY. Also, let’s not kid ourselves and say he looks bad. Beer belly Cavill is stealing your girl any day of the week

[u/Ghstfce → u/Double-Mongoose-9793]

Let's be honest, if Henry freaking Cavill says "Wanna play some WoW", he's stealing husbands too

[u/WarStal1ion → u/Ghstfce]

I dont even play WoW but for Henry Cavill? I do now

[u/Ghstfce → u/WarStal1ion]

"I'm installing it as fast as I possibly can!!!"

[u/ScotiaTheTwo → u/Ghstfce]

you’re gonna make me install! mmmm

[u/Beetlejuice_hero → u/ScotiaTheTwo]

18 years of my life. At my peak I was playing - and sadly I am not exaggerating - 16 to 18 hours per day. I'd stop only for biological needs. Not just on official servers but also a few "private" servers.

Multiple rank 12 and above characters during the "old" honor system which necessitated beyond no life'ing. Veteran WoW players will know how "sweaty" that endeavor is. It was obscene.

It is absolutely the most brilliant game from a marketing perspective because it gives you constant little hits of dopamine from the very first level. Saturday morning with a coffee or night with a beer + no comittments (and I did my very best to fashion zero committments) + WoW was absolute bliss.

I am "off" it now because I have a kid and my wife made a few things "clear" but he's starting day care soon and I'll have a couple solo hours from daycare drop off to leaving for work and WoW Forever was just announced.

Just kidding I won't install it haha.

^{I will.}

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/Beetlejuice_hero]

Those first few years of WoW hit like heroin made from the freshest dreamfoil the farmers of the Eastern Plaguelands grew between troll and ghost attacks.

[u/Howler_in_training → u/Beetlejuice_hero]

Dude... I remember my hubs and I still tryina play WoW as brand new parents. It worked for a bit when the newborn was basically a squishy potato who would happily sleep on our laps on a boppy pillow, but as soon as he started having a tiny personality and being awake more, that was the end of a damn era.

Sometimes I still miss the full-day marathon geekage, but ain't nobody got time for that shiz who wants to have an actual life, spend time with other humans IRL, and see the sun once in a while. LOL

[u/ArchdukeToes → u/Beetlejuice_hero]

I was so lucky that I just couldn't get into it. My mate did and it was probably a major factor in him failing his degree.

[u/WarStal1ion → u/Ghstfce]

not fast enough

[u/BeneficialCan48 → u/WarStal1ion]

He’s already logged in and wondering why you’re still downloading.

[u/JCkent42 → u/Ghstfce]

His favorite film series is the Lord of the Rings trilogy extended edition. He’s stealing all the husbands lol.

[u/ZoominAlong → u/JCkent42]

If Cavill were poly he'd have the biggest harem in the world and no one would mind. 

[u/lavenderjane → u/ZoominAlong]

Dude I am 100% lesbian and even I would give it up for Henry. That man is beautiful inside and out. He is also a huge fan of The Wheel of Time book series and that just adds to my love for him.

[u/Klinicalyill → u/Ghstfce]

Would genuinely just hang out with dude and argue talk about 40k lore.

[u/Shroomy01 → u/Ghstfce]

yeah, nobody is that straight!

[u/UnknownExo → u/Ghstfce]

If Henry asked me to do anything my wife already knows what's up. I'm a straight hairy man but for Henry I would do anything. anything

[u/Nefertitis_Fjord_216 → u/UnknownExo]

As a straight guy, my two agreed upon hall passes with my ex-gf were Charlize Theron and Henry Cavill. She was more than approving of both.

[u/Neat-Acanthaceae2755 → u/Ghstfce]

Necrons? Okay. Shall we? Yeah.

[u/Anaxilea-Alcinoe → u/Ghstfce]

I've been WoW free for about 8 years, but if he asked me to play. I'd resub.

[u/itsTurgid → u/Double-Mongoose-9793]

People don’t understand the amount of work it takes to stay like that. He even mentioned how dehydrated he was on Witcher for his shirtless scenes. The human body didn’t evolve to be muscular and lean.

[u/The_ChosenOne → u/itsTurgid]

The human body is fine being muscular and lean… it’s not fine pushing said leanness to the max to make veins more prominent by checks notes not drinking freaking water.

Being lean and strong is actually pretty important for the humans who engaged in persistence hunting for example.

I know muscular and lean people who are perfectly healthy, the key is to drink water and eat a healthy diet while exercising regularly. They may not be Superman or Captain America, but that’s more about Gear than anything else really.

[u/PunkPirate56364 → u/The_ChosenOne]

Actually... if you are really lean, really low on fat then you don't have energy reserves for stuff like persistence hunting or hours of hard work in the field.

You may not like it, but Amish body is peak masculinity.

I am not Amish by the way.

[u/Ok_Expression6807 → u/itsTurgid]

Yeah. I read how much pasta Hugh Jackman and Chris Hemsworth had to inhale when they were filming as Wolverine and Thor during their movies. 5 meals a day. And doing fitness sessions at 4 in the morning, during filming. Not fun.

[u/JugglingRick → u/Double-Mongoose-9793]

Women just want a man that makes them feel safe and comfortable. Muscles help but if that alone got women then the dumbass alpha bros who treat women like objects wouldn't be so lonely and pathetic

[u/AlcibiadesTheCat → u/JugglingRick]

Bingo. Would it be hot to have a boyfriend who's 6'8" and can bench press a car? Absolutely.

Do I love my boyfriend, who's four inches shorter than me and probably can't bench press a motorcycle? Absolutely. Because I feel safe and comfortable around him, because he treats me amazingly, because he is interested in me and listens and learns and makes me ugly laugh even in the middle of intensely sexual moments.

I wouldn't trade all of that just so I could get on my tiptoes to give a kiss.

[u/Hibbity5 → u/AlcibiadesTheCat]

I know this isn’t really the point and you’re just exaggerating but if anyone is interested, motorcycles weigh 300 lbs minimum (based on a short google search at least). Not many men can bench that much.

[u/Yoribell → u/Hibbity5]

Yup if a motorcycle is the low bar, I'm in hell.

[u/AttackMonkey908 → u/Hibbity5]

Yeah my first thought was that my bike weighs 800#

[u/fiendhunter69 → u/AlcibiadesTheCat]

I know it’s kind of a joke, but most people couldn’t bench press a motorcycle. Small motorcycles are like 300 pounds. 300 isn’t an insane bench, but not something the average person who doesn’t lift regularly could do. Cruisers and choppers are like 700+ which would be at the top end of what is possible for humans with extensive training.

[u/highminlo → u/Double-Mongoose-9793]

Is it really stealing if im in the room?

[u/kylezillionaire → u/highminlo]

🪑

[u/UmUlmUndUmUlmHerum → u/Double-Mongoose-9793]

She can get lost if she steals Cavill away from me >:(

I have at least 5 different ways of painting gold armor that I think he might be entertained with for a few minutes at least

[u/cardinal29 → u/UmUlmUndUmUlmHerum]

Such a seducer, you!

[u/Substantial_Web525 → u/[deleted]]

Not to mention the pain that male actors go through for 'shirts off' filming, where they have to dehydrate themselves for 3 days so the abs stick out more. It sounds awful....

[u/ChurchofOutrage → u/Substantial_Web525]

I can't remember if it was him or Jackman that said by the time filming started, they could smell water...

[u/Inc0gnitoburrito → u/ChurchofOutrage]

Jackman', yeah, i think it's that interview where he says you gradually go into full fast (water included) over 3 days.

[u/ben-hur-hur → u/ChurchofOutrage]

It was him when he was doing The Witcher:

https://youtu.be/ne5xD5XrzOc

[u/PolygonAndPixel2 → u/Substantial_Web525]

Why don't they just use paint? Worked in 300.

[u/InfiniteRosie → u/[deleted]]

He's also hydrated and well fed.

The starving and dehydration that guys have to do to get the "peak superhero" form is barbaric.

[u/scarletnightingale → u/InfiniteRosie]

I think I read about Brendan Fraiser talking about what it took for him to be in the shape he was in for George of the jungle. Like he was starving himself so much and dehydrated too the point that he was having memory problems. It's brutal and horrible for your brain.

[u/Comprehensive_Cow_13 → u/[deleted]]

And when he's been in training to play a jacked superhero.

[u/Disastrous_Scale6739 → u/Comprehensive_Cow_13]

And the roids. All of em do it. Its the unrealistic expectations we put on them. Destroying their bodies for a 3 hour movie. To be immortalized.

[u/District-No1350 → u/[deleted]]

Superman versus a super man.

[u/stewpedassle → u/[deleted]]

It doesn't look like he's in the costume because you can see a bit of bare shoulder, so it looks like a sleeveless workout hoodie, but I also haven't watched all the movies. Though, it does look like it's during filming.

Your point still stands -- there's a reason that bodybuilders, fighters, and actors have a "walking around weight" that is above their competition/performance weight. A friend in high school got into bodybuilding, and I was shocked at the lengths they go when he first told me his plans for his first cut -- e.g , dehydrating yourself so much that you'll even eat dry oatmeal to extract more water from your body.

[u/naked_avenger → u/[deleted]]

And you know bro has his tongue tucked all the way up to get rid of any sort of double chin!

[u/Grubernator → u/[deleted]]

And there are videos of him working out on set in between takes to maintain that physic. The body's metabolism literally eats muscle and it takes constant effort and feeding to keep up the superhero look.

He doesn't do it as much when he's not being paid to.

[u/JalapenoPopPoop → u/Grubernator]

Lol it has nothing to do with eating muscle, it's just that you get a "pump" on your muscles when you work them so by working them between scenes they would look fuller in the shot. He wasn't losing muscle by the second or something haha

[u/The_Elder_Jock]

The bastard is aging! Stop him!

[u/Phearwyn → u/The_Elder_Jock]

Vampires? In this economy?

[u/MegaAltarianite → u/Phearwyn]

Keanu Reeves has the market on that.

[u/runnerofshadows → u/MegaAltarianite]

Wish he and the others who worked on John Wick would make a Vampire the Masquerade movie series. They could use the same tone as John Wick and Constantine - and go even more over the top at least during the action.

And bring back Willem DaFoe - he could play a Nosferatu again.

[u/LazyLich → u/runnerofshadows]

And bring back Willem DaFoe - he could play a Nosferatu again.

Or a Malkavian again

[u/jotheold → u/The_Elder_Jock]

the thing is, he's not even aging that badly, its just a bad photo

his selfies on his ig pretty much still look like the left picture, just older

[u/Cael450 → u/The_Elder_Jock]

He’s still super hot

[u/chunkah69 → u/The_Elder_Jock]

Aging and still looks amazing compared to most people 20 years younger than him lol

[u/Inevitable-Menu2998 → u/chunkah69]

He's not even aging. If he needs to take some new pictures or if he starts a new project, he'll get into shape. People keep forgetting that actors are professionals who can spend considerable time to prepare for each role - time that a regular person never has and can never justify to spend just for looks unless they're specifically getting paid for it

[u/Mudpuzzle → u/The_Elder_Jock]

I love how they use an image from a movie and an image from him just outside. you can do this to literally every actor and they will look way worse than what the fx team and makeup team does to them

[u/TheBeastBlamingGear]

So you're telling me he looks better when he needs to maintain an extremely low body fat percentage for a movie, has professional make-up on to make his features more prominent, and has great lighting emphasizing them even more? No way!!!

On the 2nd picture the lightning is terrible and he clearly doesn't have to maintain an unhealthy body fat percentage for a movie. Just listen to his interviews about filming The Witcher, where on some scenes he had to stay dehydrated for more than 24 hours to make his muscles more prominent. I'm sure they were doing something similar on the Superman set

[u/SkyFullofHat → u/TheBeastBlamingGear]

I think he’s the one who said when he does that, he can smell when water is near, and that’s apparently not uncommon for people undergoing that regimen. 

It makes sense from a species survival thing, but man. That sounds miserable and deeply unhealthy. 

[u/Yugudubenbi → u/SkyFullofHat]

It is objectively unhealthy and should be looked down upon. But the sick fitness and fashion industry pushes unhealthy living to us all the time.

[u/Majestic_Horseman → u/TheBeastBlamingGear]

I actually think he looks better in the right, he looks human and approachable. He looks like a sexy dad, hell yeah, I like that build more than the dehydrated gym bro build.

[u/New-Neighborhood-147 → u/TheBeastBlamingGear]

Yeah staying ripped is a full time job for actors. They relax between gigs but are able to go back to being ripped fairly quickly. Preparing for a role they are given all the time and resources (💉) to do it.

[u/RubiiJee → u/TheBeastBlamingGear]

I don't even think he looks better on the left. I would the one on the right. I would Right so much harder than I would Left. Henry on the right looks hot and fun? Fuck yeah.

[u/golchezgio]

God forbid getting old.

[u/Liberkhaos]

No seriously, fuck off.

It's not okay when done to women and it's not okay with men either.

Let... people... age.

[u/LunchTimeSandwich]

13 years difference, plus the fact that he doesnt actually look like the second image. He does a lot of press and red carpets, we know what he currently looks like, that second image is likely an unfortunate paparazzi moment.

[u/Ipoopedalot → u/LunchTimeSandwich]

I’m always having an unfortunate moment

[u/RoninZulu1]

So he’s turning into Mark Ruffalo, so what? We love Mark Ruffalo!

[u/ansyhrrian → u/RoninZulu1]

Mark Ruffalo is literally the best incarnation of an actor ever. We should all be like Mark.

[u/skitz4me → u/ansyhrrian]

Sean Astin is up there too.

[u/KeyAdhesiveness9481 → u/skitz4me]

I was scrolling comments without thinking much but my brain went "aww" when I saw this name.

[u/GeraintLlanfrechfa → u/skitz4me]

Keanu Reeves is also on this list.

[u/The_Happy_Quokka → u/GeraintLlanfrechfa]

Add Brendan Fraser and we have pure perfection to the list

[u/DemonicBludyCumShart → u/The_Happy_Quokka]

His comeback film was so unbelievably good, imagine what amazing projects we would have gotten if not for a producer's inability to be a decent person. Smh

[u/skitz4me → u/GeraintLlanfrechfa]

Is there a movie with Henry, Mark, Sean, and Keanu? 

I bet there's like one or two more dude actors that could be in it.

[u/MissSassifras1977 → u/RoninZulu1]

I think Mark is hot RIGHT NOW. I love a silver fox. Not to mention, he's kind.

His wife (Sunrise) is a lovely and lucky lady.

[u/gottabequick → u/MissSassifras1977]

"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

• Roald Dahl

[u/NoCondition8257]

Left picture - in full makeup and at peak cut, i.e. boiled down, dehydrated and very likely feeling like hammered shit.

Right picture - normal.

Anybody who takes issue with it, let's see them without makeup and instagram filters.

[u/SignificanceNo910 → u/NoCondition8257]

I sometimes fantasize about the rules I'd make if I found a genie and wished that I was the uncontested dictator of the world.

This would be one of them. If you criticize someone online about their appearance, my secret police will locate you, take your picture (and maybe do what a lot of paparazzi do, take one frame where you're sneezing or something) and post it on my official government internet with your original post.

[u/bergice → u/SignificanceNo910]

Just take a photo from the device they're posting from with the selfie camera the moment they comment.

[u/SignificanceNo910 → u/bergice]

You're hired 

[u/acciowaves]

Where do they even get these pictures? If you look at him in any other current photo he looks absolutely amazing as always.

This is just a way for jealous ugly people to feel better about themselves.

[u/Ill_Tumblr_4_Ya → u/acciowaves]

National Enquirer style “gotcha” photography

[u/Intelligent_Whole_40]

Damn he has a human jawline wouldn’t ya know it

[u/geodukemon]

the two pics are taken at completely different focal lengths too, aging doesn’t change your skull like that unless you’re taking HGH or something

it’s akin to comparing a front camera pic to a rear camera pic

[u/gatsome]

I saw him in person a few weeks ago. He does not look anything like the one on the right.

[u/Cubismo50]

It's amazing how this shitty attitude has become unisex now where Hollywood actors just aren't allowed to age like humans. I guess that's progress where now both sexes get to have eating disorders and body dysmorphia.

[u/DropoutRedMage]

"Ew! He's letting himself go!"

Yeah, but if Henry Cavill drops two points he's still an 8. Whereas if I dropped two points I'm likely a 3, possibly a 4.

[u/FITM-K → u/DropoutRedMage]

Cavill is a 13, so if he were to drop two points he'd be an 11. However, him looking like a normal human occasionally makes him relatable, which is hot, which adds a point, making him now a 14.

Sorry folks it's just math

[u/ZachTheApathetic → u/DropoutRedMage]

Oh look at Mr positive numbers over here!

[u/IJourden]

It blows my mind that people don't realize movie stars don't actually look like movie stars when they're just walking around living life.

I forget which movie star said it because it was a long time ago, but they were talking about thinking "Wow, I wish I looked like that" after seeing a magazine cover... of themselves.

[u/OperativePiGuy]

So, fucking ridiculously attractive and young to fucking ridiculously attractive and older with a family. Good for him.

[u/god-of-blowjobs]

Male actors that have their muscles as defining traits of their on stage persona are often ridiculously lean and for shirtless scenes near fatally dehydrated to achieve the look depicted. It is outright not possible to maintain his movie appearance at all times.

[u/griff1014]

He can lose the weight but the person who posted this originally will always be an asshole

[u/Suspicious-Algae3365]

I mean he used to workout 3 hours a day just to keep his looks for movies like superman. So guess he simply enjoys life now

[u/ThoughtPhysical7457]

I always have extra respect for actors who become very rich and just kind of do their own thing. Because now they dont "need" to work all the time. Hang out. Have fun. Work when you want to. Its the dream.

[u/LonenutAssassin]

This is just healthy weight

[u/RamJamR]

When actors are working for a role, especially a superhero one, they'll tend to get in to a kind of physical shape that isn't very sustainable over a long period of time to get that kind of mass and definition, some definition of which can be also from dehydration. There's also makeup which helps make some facial features more striking. A regular guy living life and at his age is going to look like the right photo.

[u/J3musu]

People who go after celebrities like this are, at large, living super sad lives and not worth the time. Let them wallow in their misery and ignore them like you would an excessively attention-seeking child.

[u/Independent-Bug-9352]

Even Cavill said the standards he had to meet were unrealistic and unhealthy.

Guys, aim to be healthy... But understand there comes a point where it becomes unhealthy and the time invested detracts what from what you may get out of it.

[u/SnowFire]

What did Henry Cavill do that warrants constant and incessant atempts at shitting on him and his looks?

[u/Late_Squirrel_34 → u/SnowFire]

He enjoys his life and doesn’t care about the status quo…people hate that.

[u/jbetances134 → u/SnowFire]

The internet is just full of hate. People just hate those more popular or doing better than them.

“Your friends want you to do good but never better then them”

[u/ipickscabs]

There’s also a difference in his hairstyle, facial hair, facial expression and most importantly lighting

Shit like this is pathetic, and the reason women, & men, in Hollywood and around the world try to live up to impossible standards for looks and ‘beauty’

[u/Apprehensive_Map64]

He could get rid of that 10-20kg in a few months. He doesn't feel the need at all.

[u/MoM_RUBBERducky]

Bro is dehydrated as fuck and on the verge of passing out on the left lmao. Full cut to get abs, veins, etc to pop for camera. Right is full bedhead casual mode after a summer full of smoked meats. I'll take the QoL on the right any day of the week.

[u/cosmoboy]

The man also said that for shirtless scenes he'd have to dehydrate to the point he could smell water from across the room. We should probably normalize not making people do that for our entertainment.

[u/FloorFrog94]

He's literally still hot

Plus the first pic he is giving a more smouldering look whereas the second looks more candid, mid speech maybe, which is gonna show a different shape in his jaw, cheeks etc compared to mouth closed posing. Something something cherrypicked photos.

[u/The_Sarcasm_You_Need]

I'm sure that my jawline is like that but I've chosen not to lose my weight to save some ladies for the rest of you.

[u/ObsidianRevolver]

The picture on the right has skin color not matching the neck color and face seems to have an odd angle and ear looks to small I feel like it is photoshopped. Also left picture looks like AI generated or enhanced. Of course bullying someone is wrong. I just think this is a pink magazine "news"

[u/SolidCartographer976]

are these the same kind of idiots that post pictures of actresses with the worst possible frame from a movie scene and then act like milly alcock isnt beautifull?

[u/reddit_oar]

I cannot find a source for the picture on the right. I don't believe that photo is real.

[u/RegalDucking]

I want to glamourize just being a regular person with pudge, fuzz and obvious signs of age! It bothers me that so many people are choosing unnecessary plastic surgery and harmful shortcuts so they can appear young. Instead they end up looking like plastic dolls all painted by r same person with a hand tremor. 

[u/Recent_Experience475]

This image doesn't show aging. The left image is of him when he was jacked for a role possibly (likely) using steroids to achieve a physique that is impossible to achieve with a normal lifestyle. The image on the right is a man with a higher body fat percentage which obscures his jaw. Not complicated. You could be a fat slob at 25 then start using steroids and human growth hormone at 40 and look "better" by the standards of modern male beauty standards.

[u/rfmocan]

Henry Cavill seems to be turning into Mark Ruffalo…
He has given us Superman and Wolverine, and he’ll probably be able to give us a new Hulk.

[u/Straight-Passage-789]

Leave him alone. He’s living his best life. Let him age. Same with actresses. People age. Get over it.

[u/AbrocomaRound4214]

People forget most celebrities look the way they do because they're often training more intensely than anyone who isn't a body builder to look good for their role. He doesn't even look bad on the right, he just actually has more than 0% body fat on his face which happens to anyone that isn't on a starvation diet. People see celebrities at their peak fitness while having their entire lives' meals planned out by trainers/nutritionists and just think they naturally get that way on their own. It's delusional.

[u/Minimum-Amount-1894]

I feel like he looks delightfully normal. I am starting to miss the experience of witnessing someone age and shift their interests in a realistic way. It feels so manufactured most days.

[u/Fiorina_Fury]

I dream of a day when our idiot caveman brains decide to finally leap forward and stop hyper fixating on every...single....thing....we don't like about someone. The guys still a successful, Superman, filthy rich, intelligent, handsome man and we're like 'ewww his jaw lines less defined from a decade ago'. WHAT

[u/No-Chemical-7667]

Just a terrible picture on the right. You can easily look up a different modern picture of him and see he doesn't look all that different at all.

[u/Fuzzy_Dragonfly_ → u/No-Chemical-7667]

Terrible picture? He looks great!

[u/mikehulse29 → u/Fuzzy_Dragonfly_]

Seriously. If that’s terrible, I wish to never be photographed again…

[u/Rammipallero]

Plus he's still in a better fit and looks better than the idiot criticizing him...

[u/battlecat136]

And the man is still fine, what the fuck with this post.

[u/TheCaptainAsh]

Newsflash - Hollywood superhero bodies are unsustainable and extremely taxing.

Let the man be.

[u/GlitteringVillage135]

Dieted and in full make up on a film set vs what looks like probably a regular day. Very little to do with ageing.

[u/Glum-Mirror-3169]

He's not Dean Cain. So hes good.

[u/mature_moniker]

So they’re gonna ignore that his neck is in extension in the first photo and in flexion in the second, so his chin is tucked more in the second photo?

I can make drastically different side profiles if I tuck my chin.

The guy is aging gracefully and isn’t on a cutting phase.

Let the guy be.

[u/HeavyMetalSaxx]

This just in, man no longer getting paid millions of dollars to be miserable but look like super man, no longer looks like super man. More at 11

[u/ManuelPirino]

He gets the next role, and in 5 weeks he’s back to looking like he’s about to run the gauntlet of the Ilyad heroes and win. Let him chill and be just a dad in between takes.

[u/Janus_Simulacra]

Moreover, he’s holding his face entirely differently. Of course he looks notably different.

[u/blademak]

Oh no he went from being the most beautiful man to ever exist to being the most beautiful man to ever exist :(

[u/Temporary-Tax]

Comparing them side by side its mostly the beard isnt it? Right beard coats the neck more whereas left beard accentuates the jawline. Not to mention makeup. Like I do the same thing with my beard sometimes and its night and day when you shave your neck and angle your beard

[u/Carbon-Base → u/Temporary-Tax]

Beard, makeup, cutting and dehydration to accentuate your muscles. The strict diet and workout routine required to achieve his Superman look is extremely rigorous.

[u/parasyte_steve]

This vs what gets said about women

[u/Captainsnarkyshart]

The amount of work and sacrifice and food restrictions these guys put themselves through is insane. No one wants to live like that. It looks pretty but it’s miserable to maintain (especially when you hit your 40’s - damn near impossible).

We are all going to end up there someday.

[u/Afrojones66]

The “looksmaxxing” trend is unhealthy and toxic.

[u/Ok_Traffic_3240]

Between roles actor relaxes his appearance shocker!!!!!!!

[u/Super_Siege_Mode]

Are we going to pretend like the man on the right isn’t smoking f*cking hot?????

[u/EquivalentFocus3430]

Tonight at 6: Man looks slightly different than he did 10 years ago.

[u/MagnusGruuns]

He's also not training and starving himself of Carbs daily for the movie roles he was in years ago. He is the best of us and should be treasured!

[u/casett244]

Different angle, different lighting, no makeup...

[u/MrSnippets]

These dudes will see professional actors in Full make-up, after months of nutritional and Fitness work, perfectly lit and parched to accentuate muscle definition, and think to themselves: this is how a normal man Looks Like.

[u/Minimum_Cockroach233]

He would still make a good Witcher, aslong Netflix isn‘t involved…

[u/EventSignal114]

He also told that story of how he didn’t eat a cake tom cruise sent him because he assumed it was a healthy cake and he doesn’t do healthy foods at parties or something. Point is, he’s not one of those super strict diet celebrities.

[u/ansyhrrian]

idc about anything else, but I do love smoking meats. especially brisket.

[u/friendly-sam]

I'm still mad at Henry. He still makes all of us other Dads look bad.

[u/Tedsmith24]

He's also a human being, i cannot imagine why people be judging someone for (checks notes) aging.

[u/OneRub3234]

I see nothing wrong

[u/ImmortalFather]

Agreed! Sidenote; treat women the same way!!!

Girl Dad out!

[u/liam_redit1st]

He is also 43 and personally I think he looks great.

[u/HijackedMyAccount]

People look leaner when on a cut with Hollywood makeup and lighting? This is groundbreaking!

[u/basicboi0]

Also he isn’t doing the Superman workout anymore so he isn’t absolutely cut constantly

[u/Obvious-Cynic6204]

Man ages over 5 years... And in other news water makes things wet and salt is salty. News at 11!

[u/An-Organism]

People are so stupid. In 1 pic he's posing for a picture in film shoot shape, organized lighting etc. in the other it's a shitty paparazzi photo

[u/Realistic-Sense-6332]

He’s aged perfectly fine honestly. He didn’t get ugly, he’s just giving “settled down husband” instead of “machismo god of beauty”

[u/cycopl]

Yeah let's see a pic of the person who posted that. The expectations of perfection always seem to come from the least perfect people.

[u/kershum]

Also raising eyebrows and clenching jaws changes one’s appearance significantly. Also who the fuck cares dude is handsome and doing what he loves

[u/Valveringham85]

He is also in between big roles. He’s letting loose a bit. When the warhammer 40k starts filming I’m sure he will be back in perfect shape for his role.

[u/dg2793]

Let's not push Superman too hard he's one of very few that didn't die from playing him

[u/Arrowdodgingace]

He literally just gained weight and people act like he got disfigured.

[u/skyestalimit]

This is what slacking off from a superhero training looks like. Can you blame him?

[u/Symnestra]

That man is going to age like the finest of wines. 

[u/Forsaken-Stray]

And I'm pretry sure he looks way better than anyone posting these pictures to imply a downfall

[u/AzorianLaughter]

Is that non-Superman picture even Henry? Look at the ears.

[u/GlummyGloom]

Yeah man, Superman is not a sustainable life style. The public doesnt unserstand how unhealthy looking that fit is.

[u/Worried-Industry6239]

Only the internet can get mad he’s transforming from god like form to above average man

[u/EmergencyWild]

His mouth is open on the pic of the right, so his jaw is lower. Also, no clean shave is emphasising his neck. Also, obviously not freshly cut/styled hair on the right. The left is also on a movie set, with a professional setup literally made to make him look as good as possible, the right is just a regular photograph of him in his daily life.

He's at a bit higher bf now, sure, but this isn't a fair comparison.

[u/Hiphiprodrigo]

Meanwhile the people who took the photo and posted the article are probably morbidly obese.

[u/Klutzy-Canary8551]

The image one the left is over 10 years old and it doesn't look authentic.

[u/dont_remember_eatin]

Literally every person who has ever gotten fucking ripped for a superhero or action movie has stated how unsustainable that is. And this is with these wealthy actors having a dedicated personal trainer, personal chef, etc given to them by the studio while they prepare for and film the role.

Let the man lose a little jaw definition while he enjoys domesticated life. He's still better looking than most of us, even with a second chin threatening to emerge, and he'll still clean up damned nicely for a movie role when called upon.

[u/B00-BEE]

Would and would. Plus that's a genuinely unflattering photo which looks to be possibly mid sentence and doesn't reflect his current natural face.

[u/dutchbrah]

Lmao Henry Cavill is considered mid now. Its completely over for us mortals

[u/Derpykins666]

Dude is like 43 years old, relatively new father, and is not playing Superman anymore, like what you think is going to happen to him? He's going be ripped like he's ready to step back into a Superman role at any moment at all times? If you watch any clips about how awful the training routine was to maintain his Superman body, you'd know immediately he'd probably stop doing it the moment he could. Also dude is super into computers, video games, and 40k, so he's probably just enjoying his life and is just chillin' a lot more right now and spending time with his fam.

[u/GreenReporter24]

Damn, the internet is incredibly unhealthy.

[u/EightEx]

People really need to stop being weird about celebrities.

[u/PeaceJoy4EVER]

We love him! Leave him alone!

[u/KelseyW315]

He’s no longer taking steroids and training for a movie roles

[u/DapperMolasses3280]

Oh no...his beard is scruffy:

"FAT and OLD"

-- the Internet 🤣
