Henry Cavill's road to 'Superman' role‎

Henry Cavill is set to make Superman even more super than before.

The star has revealed how he has endured nightmarish workout regimes in order to get into shape as the Man of Steal.

“The physical training has been extensive and exhausting,” says Henry, 28, who also had to pump iron for new movie Immortals.

“I think I was doing 9 to 5, at one stage, with the training. You certainly learn a lot, when you go through that process. When you’re training and you get to that rep which is difficult, and you know you’ve got 10 more reps to go in that one set, and another five sets after that, and you say, ‘I don’t really have to do this. I can do something else.

“If I just put the weights down and have a bit more rest, it will be fine.’ It teaches you how to negotiate and win the negotiation. As my new trainer says, ‘It doesn’t have to be fun to be fun!’”
