Henry Cavill is undoubtedly one of the most desirable male celebrities in Hollywood. His sizzling and brooding good looks, along with his enviable physique, have made millions of women swoon over him while aspiring men to become like him. In fact, about 95,000 proved that his luscious locks and chiseled jaw were irresistible when they voted for him to become Glamour Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2013.

Despite taking this crown officially, the actor once declined to comment on it gracefully. The British superstar clearly had a unique perspective on this popular opinion. But what?

Henry Cavill did not consider himself the sexiest man alive 

In 2016, the Huffington Post interviewed Henry Cavill and asked for his opinion about becoming the sexiest man alive. In his response, the actor said he did not feel like boasting because it was a “personal opinion”. According to him, some people might find him attractive but there were others who did not think the same. “I think it’s fun, but I don’t put any real weight into it,” explained the 40-year-old star.

He continued further how that these votes only considered the opinions of the fans who thought he looked handsome. However, there were a lot of other people whose points of view did not count. The former Superman saw things from a broader angle and did not think he was more special than others. Though the Netflix star does not feel the same about his looks, he has proved several times why people find him attractive.

Not just for his good looks but his manners and habit of showing respect to people around him. Remember when he gave a humble response to fans’ thirst tweet?

The British star reacted to thirst tweet in the most gentlemanly way

BuzzFeed’s thirst tweet compilations have always been a deliciously scandalous genre. In 2018, Henry Cavill sat down with them to check what the internet has had to say about him over the years. The Enola Holmes star read several thirst tweets, but when one fan claimed he could destroy them, the Enola Holmes star expressed his concern. “That’s very kind of you. I appreciate your vigor, but um, don’t hurt yourself. Be careful out there,” he replied.

Moments like these make fans fall in love with him even more for the way he always shows concern to his fans. This obsession has continued to grow in recent years as he hung his Superman cape. Almost one year has passed since he announced his exit from the role, but fans do not wish to let him go. According to them, he was the perfect incarnation of the Kryptonian character. However, Cavill still does not revel in this hype for his looks or roles and always remains grounded.
