He gave us lumbersexual vibes in Man of Steel. He impressed us with his arm-reload in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Now Henry Cavill is getting even buffer for his role in Netflix’s upcoming series The Witcher. And we’ve been drooling over his Instagram uploads. Those muscles! Those veins! And yes, those scars!
To play Geralt — the titular monster hunter from the Andrzej Sapkowski book series, which also inspired a hit video game franchise — Cavill has been working with Hollywood heavyweight trainer Dave Rienzi and focusing on fasted cardio. “Out of all the things I’ve done in the past, I think the fasted cardio stuff is actually working best for me,” the British actor, 35, tells Men’s Health UK. “I’m in the best shape of my life.”

Cavill’s transformation has impressed Justice League costar Jason Momoa, who’s no stranger to packing on the muscle. “Looking shredded bro,” the Aquaman actor wrote in an Instagram comment.
How about we take this to the next level?

Here’s hoping The Witcher has plenty of shirtless scenes. The series is expected to start streaming later this year.

He looked better when he was younger on THE TUDORS, and not so beefed up. I don’t like too much muscle. He was incredibly hot as the king’s best friend.

‘I didn’t make him for you, Janet’ … but I totally agree.
OzJosh
Totally agree. He was unbelievably hot in The Tudors. Then he became a walking warning about spending too much time in the gym.

I’m sure he’ll be crushed when he discovers that you’re no longer attracted to him.
Maybe he can find comfort in his millions of dollars, but I doubt it.

He has one of the nicest butts. He really is s gorgeous man.
Billy Budd
His face could have been carved in marble by Pheidias. A classic face altogether, with a perfect nose and strong jaw.

I agree with Billy. Some guys who are nicely muscled have some need to be bigger and the affect is really not a pleasant one. Being more a caricature than hot.
Black Pegasus
Hottest Superman ever. Especially in that Man of Steel version of the costume.
Billy Budd
That costume was all about THE BULGE.

NAIVE COMMENTERS SAY HE BECAME SO PUMPED UP OUT OF THE DRIVE TO JUST BE BIGGER
… Playing those parts has made him a millionaire. Playing Shakespeare buys him lunch
… He has been breathtaking since he was a teenager
