Although you wouldn't know it by looking at him today, Henry Cavill was such a chubsters in his youth, some not-so-nice classmates nicknamed him Fat Cavill. "It's definitely a sh**ty nickname," he says in the new issue of Men's Fitness. "But kids are kids. Kids are cruel. Whatever. I was fat."

Something tells me if Henry came across any of those former bullies today, they'd duck for cover. No, wait. First they'd ask for an autograph, then they'd swiftly move out of striking distance since the actor has packed on substantial muscle for the one-two cinematic punch of Immortals and Superman.

But since he doesn't flaunt the physique those fightin' films afforded him in the magazine, paparazzi shots will have to do. Or, you could just watch the Immortals teaser below, which proves just how hard clothes were to come by back in the olden days.
