Probably the classiest actor in modern Hollywood. He has the old Hollywood feel about him with a modern touch
Yes, he will be disadvantaged by women. Hopefully, he will get an hour or so of compensation.
Cavill should have been the next James Bond.
He serves as my exemplar, and upon witnessing his physique, I embarked on a journey to shed over 100lbs through exercise and dedication. My entire wardrobe draws inspiration from his impeccable style. His character exemplifies greatness in every aspect.
Fantastic work, congratulations on the weight loss.
1. Chivalry 2. Proper grammar and distinguished speech 3. Boundaries, uncompromising of values 4. Modest, proud of “weirdness” 5. Giving to others 6. Masculinity
This may not seem praiseworthy, but I personally admired how professional he is around women. It made an impression on me when I learned that Millie Bobby Brown tried to get to know him more and he insisted they maintain a professional relationship ship. There was a large age and life experience gap between them and he wanted to keep his personal life separate from his work life. In an age where playboy Hollywood actors or directors will jump at any chance to get with a woman or welcome any advance, it’s noteworthy to have someone as profesional as Henry to look up to.
Opening the door, standing when a women enters a room, pulling the chair out....these are all beautiful gestures which make a man seem classy, polished, and very manly! This said by a women who notices and cares about these gentlemanly behaviors
@bellathereader1328 - Unfortunately, there are many modern women who get offended when a man does any of these things.
@@wiseonwords very true and I feel sorry for a man who is just trying to be polite and then gets yelled at
@@bellathereader1328 I can honestly say though, I've never had a negative response to doing something chivalrous. The 'silent majority' of women very much appreciate it
@@Gent.Z a few more thoughts: the acceptance and promotion of manners is of course cultural and regional. We lived in a very liberal city on the west coast. I remember coming to a door with a male colleague. We both stood looking at the door until he opened it for me. When I said thank you for being a gentleman, he rolled his eyes and shook his head. Common attitude there. Two years ago we moved to Texas and live near to Dallas but in the country. The manners are supreme here and even when a rancher has his ranching garb on, due to their exceptional manners and respectful demeanor, I consider them incredibly elegant
@@wiseonwordsyeah I’ll never forget when I held the door open for a woman and she intentionally went for another door to avoid going in the one I had just held open. Luckily, these experiences are very rare and most women enjoy these acts of chivalry.
I love how HC stuck to his guns on leaving The Witcher and being open about his past mistakes.
Please do more of these. Keannu Reeves. Dev Patel. Cillian Murphy. Idris Elba.
Thanks, Sam. Great suggestions
Even I would love a video on keanu reeves as he has really shaped me as a person
Fully agree with Cillian and Keanu 💯
Would love to see one on Idris Elba
@@jonathanm8828 During the pandemic,I discovered Idris Elba's documentaries. The man doesn't need to play James Bond. The man IS James Bond.
I heard people saying, oh that's old school and traditional we don't need it, we have feminism now. Being a gentleman doesn't mean you're traditional, it means you had a proper upbringing, it means you have manners, you know how to read the room, you set boundaries for yourself. The way he carries himself is what makes him attractive to so many women. It's appealing because it should be the norm and not the exception. Same goes for women, its not lost on me the fact that women forgot how to be ladies, how to carry themselves with dignity and how to be classy. Classy doesn't mean you should be wearing expensive brands, it's more about what you wish to communicate with your clothes. There's beauty in simplicity as well and sexiness comes from more than just clothes.
Henry Cavill is very smooth and suave too!
Yes, everything you say I agree with. He is most definitely a cut above the rest. He cannot be bought and paid for. He is truly a gentleman, and it oozes out all over the place in his actions. He is polite considerate and caring. I hate the way woman make fools of themselves falling all over him. If you can see it makes him uncomfortable, stop it.
I thank you for addressing the gentleman in your channel and giving men back a little of their dignity. There used to be people, like my parents, who dressed differently for different occasions. And, my parents were fashionable and not too conservative, but tastefully dressed. Today I see too many men dressed like Bart Simpson or Connan the Barbarian and always looking like that same type. Young guys also seem to like wearing sweatpants and sometimes they seem repulsive. I is a shame that people only have to buy their first suit for a wedding and are dressed casually all the time. Even smaller men appear completely different when they are well dressed.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. He seems like a class act. A impeccable individual.
He is totally and proudly a nerd. Loves Warhammer, he's a hopeless gamer and throws himself at nerdy projects. Has greatly improve the image of nerds to the public eye. Not all of us are fat, ugly, antisocial and sexless creeps living ant mom's home at 40.
Respect 🫡 masculinity classic, kind and humble
Ayrton Senna is one of my role models… not just because of his driving and my love of motorsport, but because of who he was as a person as well
This was obviously a passion project for you,and it's extremely well done. I read in "Variety" that Henry Cavill was first runner-up to Brandon Routh for the lead in "Superman Returns",as well as finishing a close second to Daniel Craig,for the role of James Bond in "Casino Royale". Cavill was dubbed "The Unluckiest Man in Hollywood". To go on from those enormous setbacks to carve out a successful career,including being "Superman" for a new generation,is incredibly impressive. Grit,resilience,tenacity,along with elegance,style,and manners. Henry Cavill.
You make a good point. I would love to see Cavill in the role of Bond. I think he is absolutely perfect for it.
This has been discussed, but it would seem that the opportunity has passed. Cavill is too well-known, too expensive, and likely too old to take the Bond role now. Apparently the next Bond movie will be more of a foundation story about Bond’s early career.
I would tend to agree, as someone looking over his should at his twenties, somewhere in the distant past, that he is an excellent role model to follow. All of those traits are highly desirable in a man. In a world obsessed with "toxic masculinity", this guy nails it. He exhibits many of the traits that people now label as toxic and proves just how positive and valuable those traits really are. I would say if you're in your late teens or early twenties and still trying to find yourself, look to Henry for inspiration and you won't go far wrong
Is a God damn Greek God,is a Nerd, is The Man, undoubtedly In the World of Boys He's Gentleman 🥺❤️
I like seeing the microphone and bankers light in the scene. Almost a film noir, radio DJ if it were shot in B&W.
Thank you. I'm a big fan of film noir so I'm glad it reminds you of that aesthetic
Thank you for another very interesting and informative video. I knew very little about this actor but he does indeed sound like a gentleman. It's just a pity that a man who behaves normally is held in awe. Surely he is just behaving the way we all should. No doubt he has his faults as we all do and has made mistakes in his past as we all have. Like him we should all do our best. The world could be a better place
When I think about the past, for me Paul Newman is one of the most fashionable men ever. Even everyday clothes looked very good on him. He was usually well and tastefully dressed. Many of these things could also be worn today. But, I do not idealize Newman, he was much smaller than me and knew very well that he was desirable. He often plays the same person in many films, but he looked naturally good!
Henry Cavill is amazing
This is getting to be one of my favorite channels here. This is one of the very few men's focused channels on this site that isn't chock-full of political / red pill bullshit, and maybe the only one out of those few that focuses on the classic aesthetic. Well done. Maybe at some point you could make a video about classical styles for balding gracefully. Your great head of hair doesn't need it (yet), but for those of us 30 and older it starts to become a relevant question. There were a lot of great actors from the golden age like Cary Grant or George C. Scott who pulled off a stylish balding look, and of course Cavill himself is a modern example of the same. I feel like a lot of the modern hair advice is just to shave if you're losing your hair, which is fine but might not always fit the look people who are into traditional men's fashion are into.
Thanks, Spencer, that's great to hear. While I don't have personal experience with hair loss, this is something I could research. I agree Cavill has made his pattern hair loss work very well for him.
Many thanks for suggesting / requesting a "balding gracefully" podcast!!
Henry is a true gentleman it’s not all about him! I think he really is respectful to women and people ❤
David Gandy next please, nice summary
Exactly what I had in mind.
I had never heard of this gentleman,and had to look him up. Wow. What a life. What a portfolio of interests,and successes in different endeavors. Absolutely. Mr. Gandy would make a great feature.
@@sammajor2075 He is THE ideal gentleman to me if we’re excluding James Bond characters. He’s the real deal, you have to check out his interviews.
I swear, Henry is showing that chivalry is not dead at all, but I’ll be one of the guys that’ll bring back gentlemen qualities.
During the time I worked in film and television, I also met terrible celebrities, often unattractive men, but famous . The actor Dolph Lundgren was an exception. He was a really fit man and, like his brother, he was tall and had a very sharp face. His body was amazing too. I remember that he was a model for fashion, before he became famous. Even though he was wearing his normal clothes when we met. Despite of it, he looked impressive, like a superman from a comic strip. I still remember his kind eyes and polite manner to this day. He had a very cold back then, but was still charming.
This is great to hear. Always been a fan of his. The way he blended pursuit of intellectual excellence,athletic excellence,and a career in entertainment,is inspiring.
You forgot to put the GQ link to his diet. Great video lad thank you🙏
Thanks for the reminder, doing that nowwww.gq.com/story/real-life-diet-henry-cavill
Could you do a video about jobs that fit the gentlemen lifestyle? and what do you work as. thank you
Please do not be jealous.😉 You also have a very good charisma and a pleasant voice. In my opinion, the beard also suits you very well. The most important thing is that you try to maintain this level and feel good about it. Good luck!

Next Ryan Gosling please !!
Great video! Why don't you make one about Mads Mikkelsen style in Hannibal?
I truly believe that another great gentleman is Pierce Brosnan, I would to see what you think
Huge fan of Pierce Brosnan. He's overcome humble origins,family trauma,and personal tragedy,with charm,grace,and wit. His art,and his example,has had a positive impact on my life.
@@sammajor2075 Exactly, a truly gentleman.
Henry Cavill is awesome!
Jesus is the perfect role model!
Amen brother
Andrew Garfield , Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas
I consider myself a chivalrous man, always walking on the kerbside if I’m with my wife, or stepping into the road on a narrow path for women and children coming the other way. I hold doors open for everyone and thank those that do so for me. However, whenever I DO offer a woman a hand down steps, they look at me as if I’m going to attack them. It’s very disappointing in this day and age.
These 3 men are master piece , Henry Cavill, Daniel Craig, Sean Connery
Your video gave me an idea: A group of us should start an awards organization that recognizes modern gentlemen by country --> by state. Henry Cavill is obviously a modern gentleman of England. Who is a modern gentleman of Germany? France? Sweden? Belgium? Italy? The United States? Within the United States, California? Texas? Florida? Etc. etc. Young men need role models. Just floating ideas here.
❤❤ Yes, that woman want the man like Hebry. ❤❤ He is the best everyting ❤❤
I luckily don’t have any passions that I feel embarrassed about, my main passion are: Shooting, chainsaws, aviation and watches (as of recently)
Thanks!.. you really gave me some good laughs with your comments on H. Cavill being "rich", plus, "despite having women wanting to tear his clothes off"!! And then the comment about "toxic meatheads", pretty well summed it up!! P.S. Do you have any interest in Boris L. Pasternak?
He would have been an awesome James Bond
He may still get the gig …..though other actor names have been grabbing the headlines of late. And the longer the decision process takes the older Mr Cavill gets; thus lowering his chances. But I agree he’d make an awesome Bond. Not sure why the producers didn’t scoop him up as soon as Daniel Craig retired from the role.
He is too large for a spy
Henry Cavill went to “public” school, ie, a fee-paying private boarding school at Stowe, which is famous for the beautiful manners of its graduates…😏
Best Man👍🏼
I have nothing against him, in fact I think he seems like a cool guy, but I feel like much of it is an act. Then again, so much of "appearing like a gentleman" is, so maybe it's not saying much, but I haven't heard the best things about him behind closed doors or on filming sets. He is human. He makes mistakes. He gets mad. He has a temper. He can be rude to others. He does know how to act in the spotlight, and maybe that's all being a gentleman really is: keeping up appearances. It is nice to have people to look up to or get inspired by, but putting someone on a pedestal and acting as if they can do no wrong is a dangerous notion.
Hi there, have you ever done a video about people calling you "sir"? I feel uncomfortable when people do (like waiters and delivery people) and I am wondering is it just me or should a proper gentleman take this form of address as a compliment or not? Great videos, by the way!
I feel totally comfortable with it and I call most strangers Sir or Ma'am. I don't know where you live but in the US it's quite common
@@Gent.Z I'm up in Canada where the tendency is to be very informal but I'm noticing more people using "sir" and I'm struggling to be comfortable with it. I'll just have to watch more of your videos for inspiration I guess 🙂
Good call...we need to remind ourselves there is a healthy masculinity somewhere between Andrew Tate on one end and wearing a dress on the other end.
One hundred percent agree. And I like Andrew Tate.
I want to see a video on my role model Stephen Curry please! :)
Henry is a Top (G)entleman
He is my number one celebrity crush but wasn’t he dating a 19 when he’s 32, idk if that’s right
didn't he say it's hard to talk to women now since the me too movement and also went really hot for a barely legal girl who's half his age
The decline of good taste began in the 1970s. In the first few episodes of "That Girl" , Ted Bessell looks really good and much younger than he was. A little later he appears considerably older due to the fashion of the time and his long hair. This fashion only really suited a few men and you quickly looked unkempt.
A woman crossed one of my boundaries and I broke up with her. Glad Henry is not obsessed with monetary gain.
and my future husband! 💋
Do the late great English gentleman Philosopher: Roger Scruton!!!
Many great examples we can use. Many of us won't be in sex scenes in movies, but I do hate when they pop up in movies needlessly, especially when watching with your lady. I just re-watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and I think the scenes were just enough to establish the passion between the two without being porn. Mind you, Angelina just smiling at you is an entire sex scene all in itself. ;) That goes back to an earlier point of yours that the foreplay should start well before she gets back at your pad.

I´m about as straight as it gets but if Henry Cavill...
Nah you’re gay .
I love him however he needs better manager and needs to work on his acting skills.❤❤❤❤❤ Love you henry
Suits @Cifonelli :)
Hugh Grosvenor Roger Federer Benedict Cumberbatch
Cool video. You should do a video on David Bowie - someone who tore down gender and sexual boundaries but also embrace a classy look too, particularly around 1975. To me he's the perfect look at how the heteronormativoty of the gentleman arcyetype shouldn't bw so normalised especially in comparison tp someone who embraces the archetype themselves whilst also being a queer icon.
Do one for aragorn bro
He is also loyal to the God-Emperor, like any good gentleman.
Not sure why he not this generation, James Bond. Smh
Can we get videos on Jensen Ackles and Keanu Reeves as well please
He creates unrealistic expectations for young men and for what women think a man should be...
Incel behaviour.
He better be Bond
Show us what YOU do to stay healthy. Exercise,diet e.t.c
bros superman what do u expect
Maybe he has matured since then. I don’t know
He should be the new James Bond rather than the recent ugly, thuggish looking, charmless Bond.
Not sure why men should focus on being a gentleman, when so many women look to take advantage of the effort!
Even when you gain nothing in return, you do it for your own self respect. It's a wonderful way to live. And believe me, most people will notice, and to your overall benefit.
What about Tristan Tate?
Not a Gentleman
Im a huge Cavill fan, but he’s too muscular to play Bond. Too bad, I’d love to see him as Bond.
Do you understand that an actors fitness depends on the role he is playing? He was huge in the MoS and the Witcher, smaller in other roles, obviously, he would prepare.
I met the man when he stayed in the beach front home next door to me. Trust me he is no gentleman
i'm curious what did you witness?
@@stevetheiii477 he had a person come to the beach house to cut his hair and they were set up on the deck which was next to mine and he was barking at the person in a most rude way and the other assistants he had around were being mistreated. He acted as if he was a miserable child with 3 or 4 people trying to cater to him. This was in San Diego just prior to the comic convention. At the beach village attached to the dell resort
He impregnated at woman without marriage…
what century are you from? Time-traveller from centuries ago?
So, he has to ring your bell and inform you that he is married. Who says he isnt already.
@@natasamladenovic1765 good point
And he also dated an 18 year old at the age of 35. He's a weirdo.
LOL, no wonder why I find him so hot. He has some very interesting hobbies too. I can't wait for him to introduce me to the world of Warhammer. EDIT: You know what? He could easily become the next James Bond.
Cavill seems like a decent guy but I have one problem with this video: just because someone is a celebrity does not make them a good person. We don't really know these people or their inner lives. How would anyone truly ascertain if Cavill is a good role model simply judging on his movie roles and public appearances? People thought Bill Cosby was a nice guy. On another note, we don't really know how stylish and fashionable these celebrities really are. They have an expensive army stylists and estheticians working for them, every stitch of clothing they wear or chosen for them, and again there is a gulf of difference between what someone presents and how they really are.
A lot of his attitude has to do with the school he went to.
