IN THE NEWS
As Henry Cavill gets ready to burn up your screens with his hot new
series The Witcher, we ask the impeccably turned-out British actor and
face of Hugo Boss eyewear about his many style moves
What does style mean to you?
I think personal style changes over
the years as we change and grow
as people. Recently, I’ve found that
a classic look with a little extra
something is appealing to me.
What was the first suit you bought?
It was a suit I wore for The Count Of
Monte Cristo’s premiere. I bought it
in Italy while I was there lming. I
loved it, still do, I think. Had a really
cool Mandarin collar. Not sure it
would t any more, though.
Are suits still the highest order
of luxury?
Luxury is so relative. There are days
when I consider sleeping past 5am
an irreplaceable luxury.
How many pieces of eyewear do you own?
At the moment, I have ve pairs of
Hugo Boss sunglasses in the house.
Which frames are you partial to?
I do like a square frame, but I’m
always open to trying out other styles,
depending on what I’m wearing.
What’s your workout routine like?
At the moment, it’s weightlifting-
based. My trainer, Dave Rienzi,
programmes my workouts to be as
ef cient as possible. I have very few
hours in the day to actually work out,
and not much in the way of energy.
So he has the unenviable task of
making sure we achieve everything
we need to, as far as fat loss and
muscle mass gain are concerned,
while still having enough energy for
a full day’s shooting.
Tell us about your latest television
series, The Witcher.
I play the main lead, Geralt of Rivia,
who was abandoned as a child at a
place called Kaer Morhen, where
he was subjected to physical and
alchemical trials. After that, he was
reborn as a Witcher, an incredibly
long-lived monster hunter. It’s a
fantasy setting, based on a series of
books by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Which shows are you binge watching?
Just nished watching Umbrella
Academy, which I enjoyed
enormously. That, and Sex Education.
You’re a huge petrolhead – which bike
is on your wish list?
The Ducati Panigale V4.
STYLE TIP
Let’s face it, not
everyone has Cavill’s
chiselled bone structure and
near-perfect jaw line. Opt for
rectangular frames for round
faces, and circular eyewear
for square faces.
