While the actor has long since bid goodbye to his red cape, admirers cannot help but reflect on his previous interviews and videos. One such interview has emerged from the shadows, in which the actor reminisced about his boyhood while listening to a Tupac Shakur song.

In a throwback interview, the now 40-year-old actor explained how a classic Shakur song transported him back to his childhood.

Henry Cavill reminisced about his childhood

The Man of Steel actor is known to have a muscular and strong physique. This is evident from the hard work and sweat he sheds in the gym to prepare for his iconic roles. One such morning, while the actor was working out at a private gym in Los Angeles, as revealed by him to Men’s Health in 2019, his routine was interrupted by a cameo from Tupac Shakur’s legendary hit ‘Changes.’

The actor further said that he had not listened to the song in several years and that while he was not moved by songs in general, this specific tune froze him for a brief moment. As the song played, the now 40-year-old actor reflected on his English boarding school days in the late 1990s. He described it as “the craziest sense memory” he had as a child when he trusted in himself and was scared of nothing.

While the actor’s love of the gym is well known, his love of old classic music is not far behind, according to his generously shared playlists on his Instagram stories.

Favorite songs of the 40-year-old actor

The world is well acquainted with Cavill’s deep obsession with reading books and playing video games. His favorite songs, on the other hand, include some well-known cult classics. The actor enjoys a wide range of music, from rock to EDM. However, the pulsating bass beats of Foo Fighters’ ‘The Pretender’ and Queens of the Stone Age’s ‘No One Knows’ are among the top on the list.

The actor also has a mix of dazzling and rebellious tunes on his playlist, including ‘Sabotage’ by the Beastie Boys and ‘Do I Wanna Know’ by Arctic Monkeys. The list also includes ‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC, marking his inclination towards pure classics. While the actor prepares for his upcoming acting endeavors, his grooving music will undoubtedly keep the audience entertained in the meantime.
