Henry Cavill's Childhood
Henry Cavill was born in Jersey, which is a Crown dependency located near the coast of Normandy, France. Henry was the fourth child born into a big, loving family.

Henry Cavill's acting career
His small supporting role as Albert Mondego in the adventure drama "The Count of Monte Cristo" made him a local celebrity.
Henry landed a supporting role in "I Capture the Castle," playing seasoned womanizer Stephen Colley. Since his cinema debut, the actor appeared in two more productions – a cameo in an episode of British crime drama "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries" and the TV film "Goodbye, Mr. Chips."

Henry Cavill's Personal Life
In 2009, a friend managed to drag Henry Cavill out to a show jumping tournament – no easy feat, considering the actor had become quite the homebody after a string of casting disappointments. The friend figured this posh uptown event would snap the actor out of his funk, and he was right – Henry couldn't take his eyes off the arena. But it wasn't the horses that caught his attention – it was the equestrian, Ellen Whitaker. It was love at first sight.



In 2019, word got out that Henry Cavill was dating a female firefighter. Both fans and the media had a field day with this – according to many, the "superhero" had chosen his real-life "supergirl." Nothing more is known about their relationship – soon after the couple went public, they vanished from the spotlight.

In 2021, Natalie Viscuso became the actor's girlfriend. She's a film producer who works at Legendary Pictures and happens to be a huge Henry Cavill fan.
