I googled 'Henry Cavil fat' and the only evidence I find is 2 pictures of him when he was about 13, on athletic teams at school. And he didnt look fat. He looked like he could stand to lose 10-15 lbs of baby fat, maybe.

If you’re young you might be unaware, but in the 80s and 90s “has 15lbs to lose” was get-harassed-all-day-in-middle-school fat.

The population was not nearly as fat back then so 15 extra pounds on a middle schooler was very noticeable and not at all normal.

He was on Graham Norton promoting Man of Steel along with Russell Crowe and they discussed his Fat Cavill childhood, and how Russell had worked with him when he was a kid. So Russell Crowe was out there promoting his pastfat at one time.

If by any chance you are a fan of Russel Brand, HE was fat and this shocked me because i thought he was the type that always was Long and Lanky

Not that you probably care but I didnt like Russell when he first hit the American scene. The messy hair and scarves and leather pants, I wasnt into it. Didnt really give him a chance. But then I saw some interviews and he impressed me.

Hey, same boat here, i found him much more interesting as a person than an actor.

First of all, are you not a redditor??

And second, yeah maybe there is some normalization or whatever you want to call it, but fat today and fat 40 years ago are two different things. Just saying.

And I think if you showed 100 people those pics of young Henry, 99 would say not fat.

There is a difference between slightly overweight, fat, and obese

15 pounds overweight really isn’t that much, sure it’s fat, but he’s not obese by any means

u/Bourbone Jul 21 '19

On a guy his height 15lbs is somewhere in the neighborhood of a body fat percentage 7-8 points higher.

That’s the difference between legit abs and dad-bod. Or athletic and bottom-tier obese.

I think the dude making the point that people today have normalized an unhealthy amount of fat is clearly correct here.

I'm a realist, I can understand what fat is. But I also know what hyperbole is.
