The Superman and The Witcher star will soon become a father of his own with girlfriend Natalie Viscuso

While Henry Cavill leads quite a private life away from the spotlight, choosing to focus his personal time more on his relationship and family, one thing we do know is he is quite the family man through and through.

The 41-year-old British actor is currently expecting his first child with girlfriend Natalie Viscuso, and the couple are maintaining a low profile. However, his expanding brood has sparked further interest in his own family.

You may have known that the actor grew up in the Channel Islands and played rugby as a teen before diving into acting and modeling. But did you know he’s the fourth of five brothers? And one of his siblings is an MBE?

In a conversation with Jimmy Kimmel, Henry spoke about his brothers having similarly athletic physiques growing up. “I never picked battles with them,” he joked. “My [older] brother, one up, was four years older than me. He was considerably larger and incredibly strong. Simon — he was so strong that we would make fun of him by saying ‘Hulk smash’ every time he got angry.”
