In terms of sheer stature and handsomeness, Henry Cavill can easily break any scale. Towering at over 6 feet, the British actor holds a commanding presence in Hollywood and in many hearts. However, underneath his burning physique and sauntering good looks, is a soul too gentlemanly precious. In the course of his run through the entertainment industry, the Man of Steel actor has dated several women. However, it is his way of mannerisms and ethics that make him stand out as one of the finest gems of modern society.

In one such instance, towards the launch of his 2016 anticipated DC sequel, the actor shed light on his thoughts regarding flirting.

Standing firm as arguably one of the best iterations of Superman on screen, Henry Cavill ruled and still rules several hearts. However, he remains faithfully committed to his love, something he showcased with utmost chivalry during the press tours for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Speaking to the Sunday Times (via Entertainment Tonight) back in March 2016, the actor revealed his disdain when people “don’t respect other people’s feelings.” The talks centered around fans commenting on him flirtatiously while around his then-girlfriend, Tara King.

The actor went on to mention how the comments during King’s presence by his side felt out of place. Explaining further, he implied that it equated to being “complimentary to me in order to disrespect her.” Meanwhile, he also went on to note that “I’ve heard some things in my time, I have to say.” Thus, while individually, the actor never paid heed to the many remarks when alone, around his girlfriend, though, he wished for people to stay in a better demeanor.
