- In an interview for ShortListMode, Henry Cavill was asked whether he wears "budgie smugglers" (Speedos) or "swimming shorts" he jokingly answered: "Definitely, definitely swimming shorts. For me, it'd be more like a parrot smugglers. A Macaw or something. Perhaps a large bird of prey. Bald eagle. There you go."
- On his shit sense of fashion. “I never throw stuff away even when I’ve changed size," he said "Things I’ve liked, I'll wear so much that I have had to get rid it. If I love something enough, I'd still see it the way it initially was, and then a friend will say, ‘Why do you dress like a homeless person? Look at your f**king clothes, mate.’ And then you realise that the T-shirt you adore has four holes in it. And that pair of jeans no longer has a fashionable rip; it’s just your knee hanging out."
- He recalled one time his clothes literally ripped. "Atthe end of Man of Steel, I had a suit tailored for the Immortals premiere. At that stage, I was at my very leanest. It was just after shooting my shirtless scenes. At the very end of the movie, I put that suit on again for a photoshoot we were doing and I ripped the seams, the inside seams, just because my thighs were that much bigger."
