While his chiseled features and star-studded persona are one thing that sets him apart from everyone else, Henry Cavill is also rather famous for his muscular physique. With a body like one of those Olympians in ancient Greek mythology, he is easily one of the most ripped celebrities in all of Hollywood and could put up a fair competition in front of the hunkiest of actors.
However, as magnificent as he looks with this physique of his (as was especially seen in Man of Steel), there are people from his family who can make even his gigantic self look small in front of them. These people are his very own four brothers, i.e. Piers, Niki, Simon, and Charles!
Henry Cavill’s Brothers are Massive Hunks too
According to what Henry Cavill confessed during Jimmy Kimmel Live! he grew up in a household full of boys, having three older brothers as well as one younger brother. These brothers are Piers Cavill, Niki Richard Dalgliesh “Nik” Cavill, Simon Granville Dalgliesh Cavill, and Charles Edward “Charlie” Dalgliesh Cavill respectively.
As it turns out, besides David Corenswet putting up fair competition, these very family members of his can make him look rather small in front of them despite the 193lbs-muscled British hunk’s breathtaking 6′ 1″ height and ripped physique. This is because almost all of his brothers are bulkier than him.
First off, Piers Cavill. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare actor’s oldest brother, Piers used to be an officer in the British armed forces, as per PEOPLE. Moreover, his work following his leave from the British armed forces included working in the architecture and construction industry, so it’s only understandable how much of a hunk he must look like.
Then there’s Niki Richard Dalgliesh “Nik” Cavill, who is Henry Cavill‘s second oldest brother. He serves as a soldier in the Royal Marines and was even honored as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (via PEOPLE). That said, his physique being good enough to make Cavill look small is only predictable.
Next off is Simon Granville Dalgliesh Cavill, the third oldest brother of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. actor. This one has led a more private life than all the others, and the only factor explaining his hulking physique was Henry himself admitting to Kimmel, saying:
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.
Last but not least is Charles Edward “Charlie” Dalgliesh Cavill, who is Henry’s younger brother. This brother isn’t quite from the action field and is actually a film producer who occasionally hosts the series Cocktails with Charlie on his Instagram handle @charlescavill. Nonetheless, his physique is nothing short of astonishingly massive itself.
All of this being said, the actor Cavill’s brothers are indeed bulky enough to either match his size or look even more massive than him, and fans can’t help but agree with the same.
Fans Compare Henry Cavill to His Hunk Brothers
On the r/popculturechat subreddit, fans have been going on and on about the Cavill brothers’ appearance. While pretty much all of them agree that these five pretty much have similar physiques, they also point out just how much they resemble each other and are part of a “great-looking family.”
All in all, here’s what some of the top comments of them are saying on Reddit:

Well, for whatever it’s worth, Henry Cavill obviously looks closely identical to all his brothers. At the same time, his brothers may steal the game from him when it comes to their respective physiques!
You can stream Man of Steel on Netflix.
