In 2013, the world first witnessed Henry Cavill as the symbol of strength, justice, and hope. It was evident in his broad shoulders and glistening blue eyes that he would take the role to new heights. Soon enough, Cavill took the world by storm as he continued to work in DC while also working alongside notable actors such as Tom Cruise. While he made his way to the mainstream area in 2013, Cavill has dedicated himself to acting since 2001. And to make the world a better place to exist in 1983.

The actor, despite a few turbulences in the past year, started this year on a blockbuster note. After losing two pivotal projects last year, the actor has signed his dream project, Warhammer 40K, among others. However, his performances are not the only thing that fans are hooked on. Therefore, as he turned 40 this year, fans left no stone unturned in expressing their love with Happy Birthday messages on Twitter.

One of the major reasons behind the massive backlash faced by James Gunn’s DC was Henry Cavill’s exit. And the greater hand behind the phenomenon was the actor himself, who had unabashedly expressed his love for the superhero and comic on various occasions.

Cavill spent most of his 20s trying to find a footing in the industry and most of his 30s navigating through his turbulent time as Superman. Therefore, as he touches his 40s, fans have their fingers crossed that only the right projects knock on his door this year.

Fans celebrate Henry Cavill on his birthday

While the Superman actor is yet to receive any notable accolades, that he rules over hearts is a fact undisputed. Many of his fans created thrilling compilations of all the roles the 40-year-old actor has played so far. While the actor is notoriously popular for his love of video games, he prefers to be in a quiet surrounding. Especially during his birthday. This explains why there was not a big party or even an Instagram post.

The little boy among four others who was born in Jersey to a Roman Catholic family must have not imagined that he would be hailed as one of the greatest stars in the Hollywood industry. And if he did, he must be shedding a tear, seeing how far he has come.
