Bring On 2017: Cheers To The New Year!

Join Henry In London

In the last hours of 2016, we would first like to offer our deepest thanks to Henry and his team for allowing us to cover and bring you interviews from the various charity events he participated in this year. We're also very grateful to Durrell Wildlife and The Royal Marines Charity for their hospitality and generosity. After seeing first hand the difference these charities make, we can sincerely say supporting Henry in these causes has been the most gratifying work for us, and it wouldn't be possible without your reposts and retweets and comments and emails.. so THANK YOU for your contribution. Finally, a huge thanks to Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment for facilitating some of the coolest coverage we've done this year.

Since we started HCN back in April of 2013, our focus has been to give fans a chance to be part of a supportive community for Henry, while bringing you the latest news on his projects and whatever else he wants to share with the world. That will hopefully continue to be the case in 2017 when there is so much to look forward to, including the return of The Durrell Challenge, as well as the release of  Justice League and Sand Castle.

Cheers to the New Year!

All Best,

HCN staff.

Happy Thanksgiving From You, Us, And Henry!

Four months away!

That's all we could think of when we saw that lovely Thanksgiving post. And then Lex shared his holiday message.. and freaked us out a bit.

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the loved ones I have around me and the ones that I don’t.

In all seriousness, today many of us will be celebrating Thanksgiving. And aside from the obvious gratitude for our families and our troops who are out there risking their lives so we can have our freedom, we would also like to thank YOU.

We wouldn't be here without you helping us support Henry in any way we can. From sending in holiday wishes for him, to cheering for him and his latest projects, to helping him raise funds for his charity work, you guys have been the best. So thank you, we really do appreciate you for helping us keep the blog a positive place for Henry.

We take our cue from him. Henry is a person who takes the time to thank each fan who asks for a pic or autograph, all the way up to the designer house which for years has supported him and believed in him and his career (and keeps him looking dashing at red carpet events). 

Visited the really impressive Dunhill store when I was in Shanghai, if you’re ever passing through it’s definitely worth checking out #dunhill

So our last thanks this year go out to him, for inspiring this blog. You're a good man Henry Cavill, and we're very proud to support you in everything you do. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

P.S. It looks like Henry is enjoying a Thanksgiving meal in Jordan via producer Justin Nappi. :)

Supporting Henry: Why You Matter, Why We're Grateful

With Thanksgiving coming up a week from Thursday, we have some of your stories to share. They remind us that there's plenty to be grateful for, when you're a fan of Henry's. The accounts and pics are all from his trip to Gibraltar, where he raised money for The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund (still trying to reach that goal!). Read on.

We were wandering aimlessly through Gibraltar's streets and thanks to a lucky strike, we had the chance to meet the man (the dream, the wonder) in person. When I saw him coming our way, my neurons decided to go on a strike after a coup d'état perpetrated by my -much superior in number and strength- hormones. I remained speechless, only able to mumble some disjointed words. Well, at least my survival instinct reacted, and allowed me to indicate to HIM with gestures that he was the object of interest. He came closer to me, and everything that happened afterwards is a blur. I remember some moments, but most of all, I keep the memory of his politeness, his kindness and his enveloping charm. Even if I wasn't able to tell him everything I would have liked to (everything I thought I would have told him in a situation like that), I'm sure I'll treasure this event as long as my memory allows me to.

(Yes, even with his eyes closed the man takes one good lookin' picture). 

We saw him walking and I was like OMG is that him? I swear it's him! and my cousin was like yes, yes I think it is! but we still weren't sure (because I'm a fan of The Tudors more than Superman, and he's changed a lot since Charles Brandon). So we were debating whether to go up to him for a few minutes cos we didn't know if it really was him. After deciding it was, I went up to him and asked for a photo and then everyone started coming. So then he told everyone that he had to go to an interview (with us!) and he'd try and take photos later. The picture where he's talking is when this happened, his trainer took it :)) and then he went to the interview and everyone followed. He took about a million pictures after that, and then when there was slightly less people I asked if I could take another photo and his brother took it and then they went to get ready for the run.

We had posted some of Alisha Harper's cute pics of Henry with her daughter in our wrap from the run, now she's shared a few more and her story. Thank you! 

Find out what happened when our #manofsteel Matt Collins met #superman star #HenryCavill at the #GibraltarRockRun http://t.co/LGpSHxBgFL

What makes Matt's story the BEST, is that he served with Henry's brother Nik. Talk about a group of Supermen:

This year the media spotlight shone bright as the star of the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film Henry Cavill announced his participation in the Gibraltar Rock Run. The Man of Steel’s brother Nik Cavill was Matt’s former troop commander when they served together in the Royal Marines.

After catching up, Henry, Nik and Matt all completed the 5k course together on a crisp Gibraltan Saturday morning along with the 347 other competitors.

And then there are the simple messages for Henry that you guys send in. Just a few words, but nevertheless very touching for us to read, and of course to pass on to the person they really belong to.

Hello Henry,

I think your parents raised you well, you have a nice soul. My father also has 4 brothers and I also come from 5 children, 3 girls and 2 boys, it's great to have a big family. I wish you success in your professional and personal life.

Greetings from Slovakia.

Petronela

It's always so nice to see your support for Henry. It makes our job a lot more rewarding, to know that with your help we're cheering for this talented and good-hearted guy, all the way to the top! - GOOOO Henry :)

Thanks A Million Super Fans! - We Couldn't Do It Without You

We've only been together for 10 months, but we've already shared the proud moments..

the sexy snaps

the workouts

the late nights

The super sweet

On behalf of everyone at Henry Cavill News, I'd like to thank you for your readership. One million page views is more than we could have asked for when we started the blog in support of the super hot, very talented and immeasurably gracious Henry Cavill. Hope you know how much we've enjoyed bringing you updates on Henry's latest projects and his career. Much more on the way!

Sincerely, Yvette

P.S. Check out our interview with MLiveDetroit. They gave us a nice shout-out (thanks Eric Lacy).

The Hollywood Issue - Henry Cavill on Suiting... by vanityfair

It was around this time last year, that Henry was profiled in Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue. The magazine also released a clip where Henry talked about being included in the spread (fast forward to the very end), and an interview where he talked about becoming the Man of Steel. This year, Vanity Fair turned to photographer and artist Chuck Close, to capture actors like Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansson in the raw. No makeup, no hair styling, no airbrushing, no photoshopping.

  
It's gonna be shocking to people. There will be people who think I didn't glamorize the subject enough, you know and they think I was cruel (..) there will be people who say thank God somebody shows people as real people, the way they are.. and their humanity shows too. I do think human is, and humanity is.. pretty much the essence of a portrait.  

You can watch Close talk about the process in this video, the pictures and more at Vanity Fair.

At the beginning of this year we made a promise to you that we wouldn't airbrush pictures of Henry, simply because we want to bring you the real person.. just the way he is. Now we're happy to see Vanity Fair take the same stance in support of natural beauty, flaws and wrinkles included. This year's Hollywood issue goes on sale today.
