Man Of Steel star Henry Cavill is in love with the female form… 

“No artist could imagine a more beautiful shape,” says Man Of Steel star Henry Cavill – and he’s not talking about the S on his chest in Zack Snyder’s Superman film.

“It’s incredible. A man can look attractive, beautiful even, but nothing like a woman naked. That’s why women would rather look at other naked women than at men,” the 30-year-old adds.

Cavill says his ideal woman is hot, naked and can hold a drink, admitting that the female form is his biggest turn on.

“I don’t like aggressive women because they’re always on the defensive,” he says in an interview with Glamour magazine. “What’s important to me is that a woman has confidence in what she is, as opposed to trying to conform to someone else’s type.”

“I like a good drinking buddy – and I can drink a lot,” the British actor admits.

Cavill is currently dating Gina Carano (Haywire, Fast & Furious 6) and says he’s willing to do what it takes to make things work: “It takes a lot of understanding from the other person, because there’s a lot of time apart. But I’ve always been a monogamous man.”

Man Of Steel opens in UK and US cinemas on 14 June 2013.
