Henry Cavill is officially the perfect man!

It’s official – Henry Cavill might just be the perfect man. Not only is he a talented actor with a jawline that could cut glass, but he also bakes. Spending his time at home amid the coronavirus lockdown, The Witcher star has been trying his hand at cooking recently and has so far made a cheesy pie, roast dinner, and spaghetti. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the A-lister has since revealed that he’s also a star baker as he posted a photo of his latest creation – a classic red velvet birthday cake – which he captioned: “Icing-olation.” Henry had baked the cake to celebrate his 37th birthday and he also shares the same birthday as fellow A-lister, Adele.

Happy birthday” wrote one, “You could be the next Martha Stewart,” added another. Meanwhile, Henry’s famous friends made sure to wish the star a happy birthday. Man of Steel director Zack Snyder wrote: “Superman was born May 5, 1983… happy birthday Henry,” and Guy Ritchie tweeted a behind the scenes video from The Man from U.N.C.L.E set, which he captioned “Happy Birthday Mr H.”

 

Henry is just one of the many celebrities cooking and baking to pass the time during lockdown. David Beckham has delighted fans over the past few weeks by showing off his culinary skills. The father-of-four recently created a mouth-watering Nutella cake featuring a chunky, brown sponge base topped with thick, Nutella icing and sprinkled with nuts, as well as a Nutella pizza for dessert. Meanwhile, lemon drizzle cake is another recipe the 45-year-old has mastered.
