Henry Cavill is often marveled for his fit physique. And the actor is not one to shy away from talking about how difficult it is to actually achieve it.

The two of them not only made a magnificent pair on screen but also hit it off pretty well off-screen. So much so that Henry Cavill found himself on the list of people Tom Cruise sends a gift to on Christmas.
