Henry Cavill explains why his chest hair is fantastic for sound guys
Henry Cavill may not return as the last son of Krypton, but his character Superman has amassed a large fan base. Many Cavill fans have been inspired to attain a great physique because of the actor. When Cavill shows off his pumped chest, many eyes are on his chest hair as well.
During an interview with ET, the 40-year-old actor explained how his chest hair come out as a great thing for the sound guys. The Justice League actor stated,
“I’ve learned that apparently, my chest hair is particularly fantastic for the sound guys. They say ‘For some reason, your hair works perfectly. They generally, say ‘oh yeah you know for some reason your hair works perfectly.’ When they stick it to my chest there’s one under here right now, it doesn’t actually stick to my skin, just to my hair, and so I am developing a bald patch right here but apparently, it’s very sound-friendly here. So I have learned that about myself.”
This isn’t the first time The Tudors actor has talked about his chest hair. In the past, Cavill has explained to the people why chest hair was important for Superman in the movie Man Of Steel.
Henry Cavill wanted to keep his hairy chest for Superman’s character representation
The British actor shaved his beard for the character of Clark Kent aka Superman in Man of Steel, but he refused to wax his chest hair. Cavill is a big DC comics fan himself and during many interviews, the Immortals actor explained why the chest hair plays a significant role in Superman’s character representation. Cavill mentioned that because the Superhero’s nails and hairs are indestructible in the story it was important to show it on the big screen as well. The Enola Holmes 2 actor said,
“There’s this bit where his costume’s ripped, and he’s making the ultimate sacrifice, and he’s got this hairy chest.”
In another interview, Cavill talked about the advantages of waxing his chest hair but also mentioned that he likes his hairy chest. The actor said,
“I gotta say the whole waxing thing has its advantages in that you end up looking more defined, but it is extremely excruciating. So I like my hairy chest. I plan on keeping it.”
Not only were Cavill’s acting abilities and ruggedly attractive appearance creating waves on the internet but so was his chest hair. Fans were left brokenhearted when Cavill announced that he won’t be returning as Superman.
