But aside from the Man of Steel&#x27;s powers, Cavill admired the character&#x27;s other traits.&quot;The wonderful thing about Superman, and the thing which attracts me the most to his character, is his ultimate will to do good and to use his powers in a responsible manner,&quot; said Cavill.Cavill&#x27;s work with a charitable organization is special to him.&quot;It&#x27;s fantastic and an honor. It&#x27;s one of those things which I&#x27;ve really enjoyed the most about being Superman is that not only, obviously, scratching that itch of playing a character who I really love and always wanted to be, it&#x27;s using that opportunity outside of the role to help people who sometimes do not get help and/or recognition,&quot; he said.With his imposing build and striking features, the actor is perfectly cast as the Man of Steel. But he admits, growing up with weight issues, he was not as bullet-proof from bullies. So for kids, he gives a super-advice.&quot;If people are willing to deliberately make you feel bad about who you are, they&#x27;re not worth listening to. It&#x27;s a tough stage or phase. Childhood is difficult anyway. But just hang in there.&quot;In &quot;Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,&quot; fans are looking forward to the epic showdown between the two superheroes, but it also shows the evolution of Superman&#x27;s relationship with Lois Lane.&quot;I really hope we get even more of an opportunity to explore the ins and outs, the nature of a relationship between a superpowered-alien who is loved and feared across the planet and a human,&quot; he said.Asked about his real-life take on love, Cavill said: &quot;That&#x27;s a very tricky question, because there&#x27;s so much detail in the answer which is required. I am very much a romantic. As far as love conquers all: true love conquers all, yes.&quot;Read more on <a href="http://www.balitangamerica.tv/">Balitang America</a>
