Who is Henry Cavill? The Jersey actor turned Superman | ITV News Channel

Global film star Henry Cavill, best known for his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia, recently returned to his childhood home of Jersey to participate in a special charity event supporting wildlife conservation. The actor made time in his packed schedule to attend the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust’s Wildlife Walk—a cause close to his heart.

Back Home for a Meaningful Cause
“It is great to be back,” Cavill shared during the interview. “And even better that it’s for something I care deeply about.” Despite a hectic calendar filled with international filming and promotional duties, Cavill made a special effort to fly to Jersey for the event.

Returning to the island, he explained, isn’t always easy. “I’m constantly moving—if I’m not working in England, I’m somewhere else in the world. So adding Jersey to that schedule is a challenge. I do my best, but it’s not always easy.”

Why Durrell Matters
Henry Cavill is a long-time ambassador for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, a Jersey-based organization known for its efforts to save endangered species around the globe. For the actor, this isn’t just another celebrity endorsement—it’s personal.

“Durrell has always been a part of my life,” Cavill said. “I grew up on the island. I spent time at Jersey Zoo as a child, and it left a big impact on me. Supporting them now—especially as they continue to do real, important work to help endangered species—is something that means a lot to me.”

Cavill described his role as ambassador as “raising awareness,” saying he uses his public profile and social platforms to amplify the charity’s message. “Whether it’s through Instagram, interviews, or events like this—I want people to know about Durrell and what they do.”

Training for the Challenge
Cavill took part in the charity’s fitness challenge, though he admitted that preparing for the event wasn’t easy. “I’ve only managed four runs leading up to today,” he laughed. “With the way my schedule’s been lately, fitting in training has been tough. But it’s nice to have a reason to get out and move.”

As for what’s next on Cavill’s professional plate, the actor kept things mysterious. “I can’t actually talk about what’s coming up,” he said. “Either because it’s top secret or because I can neither confirm nor deny anything yet.”

Still, he hinted that multiple projects are potentially in development. “There’s a lot that could happen—it’s just a matter of things getting the green light.”

Whether he’s donning a superhero cape or running in support of endangered wildlife, Henry Cavill continues to show that his influence extends far beyond Hollywood.
