Why Henry Cavill and Natalie Viscuso Are Sparking Engagement Rumors Weeks After Welcoming Baby
Just call him Lord Henry Byron.
Henry Cavill tapped into his poetic side as he addressed a leg injury he sustained while training for his upcoming film, Highlander.
The 42-year-old shared a selfie with his sweet pup Baggins to Instagram Sept. 18, alongside a photo of his bandaged left foot, captioning the photos with William Ernest Henley’s 1888 poem “Invictus.”
“Out of the night that covers me / Black as the pit from pole to pole,” Cavill posted from the poem. “I thank whatever gods may be / For my unconquerable soul.”
And the words likely had a special meaning for the Superman alum, as it was written by Henley as he recovered from leg surgery. The poet had to have his left leg amputated as a child due to complications from tuberculosis, but later in life was able to find a surgeon who saved his right leg.
The poem ends with the famous line, “I am the master of my fate / I am the captain of my soul.”
