Handsome Henry sported a bespoke navy blue Dunhill suit, complete with pocket-square, along with a crisp white shirt and blue patterned tie, while Armie sported a grey Thom Sweeney number.

Black leather lace-up brogue shoes and slicked-back hair ensured Jersey-born actor Henry looked the part at the Scoatiabank Theatre in Toronto.

Despite covering up his body in his smart suit, he certainly looked more bulked-up than usual, having recently wrapped up filming for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Confident: Henry recently revealed that he was bullied at school for being an overweight teenager, but he looked more confident than ever on Tuesday night

The Man of Steel sequel, due for release in the UK in March 2016, stars Henry as Superman alongside Ben Affleck as Batman.

But he hasn’t always been so successful, revealing in a recent interview that he was bullied at school for being an overweight teenager.

 

The Man From U.N.C.L.E star admits he was mercilessly teased as a teenager for being overweight and having spare ‘rolls’, with one cruel classmate even pointing out it looked like he had ‘t**s’.

‘They used to call me Fat Cavill,’ Henry told Men’s Fitness. ‘I actually had rolls of fat on me.’

‘They also called me a “lemon”, a guy who gets nowhere with the girls.’

Henry looks adorable as a chubby-cheeked youngster in flashback images showing him sitting on the front row of his cricket team photo at St Michael’s Prep School in Jersey.

The teasing only got worse when, aged 13, he arrived midway through the first term at Stowe, one of Britain’s most prestigious public schools where fees are more than £9,000 a term.

Henry was made to feel an outcast from the start and would cry down the phone three times a day to his parents because he was so homesick.

These days, the actor’s chiselled and muscular physique has earned him the lead role in action films including Superman reboot Man Of Steel, and he has legions of female fans throwing themselves at his feet.

But Henry believes he still has the capacity to balloon, telling Men’s Health that he’s always an ‘indulger’ and never deprives himself of the finer things in life.

The heartthrob previously opened up about his tortured past to Event magazine, revealing that his peers picked on him because he was an easy target.

‘There was nothing physical. I was a chubby kid but I wasn’t a weakling,’ he said.

‘I could have stood up for myself in that department. It was name-calling, and kids do that. So I comfort ate.’

Henry endured a gruelling physical transformation in 2013 to play the role of Superman in Man Of Steel and at one point was reduced to a diet of 1800 calories per day in a bid to slim down.

‘The production hired a trainer to work with me’, he said. ‘I’ve always been physical but I’m not always in the gym. In pre-production I was knackered all the time.’

Transformation: Henry, seen here at the a SiriusXM radio event on Wednesday, has never looked better
