Henry Cavill, Enola Holmes and Man of Steel frontman, maintains wholesome life on the Internet unless it involves critical current events, his upcoming acting roles, or his family. He's not really itching for the spotlight, yet it follows him whenever he permits it. His social media presence related to his loved ones reveals an endearing trait; he's one of five brothers.
Who Are The Cavill Brothers?
Cavill visited Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2019 and chatted up the host about his sibling dynamic, "I'm number four out of five so the second youngest." Kimmel joked that he was in the worst spot of the lineup but Cavill delivered a quick reply that the youngest brother is in fact the worst setup.
"The eldest gets the toughest game," the actor explained, "They get all the discipline. We're all of a similar size but I was smart, I never picked battles with them...Simon we, he was so strong that we would make fun of him by saying, 'Hulk smash,' every time he got angry."
Lieutenant Colonel Niki Cavill, one of Henry's older brothers, is a Royal Marine. Henry recently posted an Instagram in honor of the Royal Marine Corps birthday in which he stated, "Some of you may know that one of my brothers is a Royal Marine."
He continued about his respect for his brother's service, "So, I've long had a relationship with them, of sorts. It's also what I would probably be doing if the film industry hadn't got me first. Both of these things led to me becoming an Ambassador for the Royal Marines charity quite a few years ago. An ambassadorship of which I am enormously proud."
Brothers in Business
Henry's younger, and therefore youngest, brother Charlie received some protection from their mother growing up. He's now a family man who owns his candle company, Cavill & Wicks. Some of the paraben & phthalate-free scents include Black Orchid & Bourbon, Lavender & Bergamot, and French Fig & Wild Cassis.
The movie star member of the driven Cavill brothers also values spending time with his nieces and nephews. In an interview back in 2016 he divulged how they reacted to their uncle's Superman status, "My nephew went to school in a Superman outfit and the teacher told him off for the Superman outfit. He said, 'No my uncle is Superman,' and then he was accused of being a liar."
When the teacher brought Henry's sister-in-law to talk about the alleged lies, she hilariously had to correct her. The other two Cavill brothers are fairly private. Piers' wedding photos are some of the only public ones available of the entire cast of Cavill siblings together.
