Despite leaving Netflix’s The Witcher and DC’s Superman saga (to many fans’ dismay) in recent years, the handsome and ever-humble Englishman has continued to win over the hearts of fans for practically anything he does.

And, at 40, he’s still regarded to be a highly sought-after actor in his prime, starring in Guy Ritchie’s anticipated new flick The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare released last week.
Away from work though, Cavill is also known to be a family man – who’s about to welcome his first baby with his girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso!

Ahead of the arrival of their newborn, we take a look at Cavill’s family, from his parents to his siblings, as he enters a new era of fatherhood.

Who are Henry Cavill’s parents?

Henry was born to Marianne and Colin Cavill on May 5, 1983. Per People, the Argylle actor was raised in Jersey, a small British island, and he often credits his mum and dad for his success and ability to stay modest.

“My upbringing has kept me grounded. My amazing parents have always told me to remain humble and thankful for what I get,” he told the Daily Record in 2013.

In a conversation with Interview magazine the same year, Cavill said that his mother Marianne worked at a bank, while his father Colin is the head of his management team and also works in finance.

He added that they are “very practical people”. “I remember going, ‘I’m really excited about this – I really want it to happen. It would be a wonderful opportunity,’” he said in his interview. “But if something doesn’t happen, then it doesn’t happen. My mother and father sort of raised me to look at things that way.”

Who are Henry Cavill’s four brothers?

Henry grew up in a huge family, with four male siblings. He is the second youngest of his brothers. Here’s what we know about them:

1. Piers

Not much is known about Henry’s ultra-private older brother Simon, but the actor did once talk about him once in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “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,” he said.
