Henry Cavill explained that Superman is so good, so kind, and when he starts to compare himself to the character, as he is playing him, he starts to really look into himself. He said that he asks himself, “Am I good person? Can I be a good enough person to play Superman? And if he ever hears a whisper in there which says, “Hmm, hold on a second. Maybe not”, then he adjusts it and makes sure that he is a better person. Cavill thinks that it is something anyone can do in life.
