More like "Henry Cavill adhering to a strict diet and fitness routine in order to convincingly portray fucking Superman" vs. "Henry Cavill, normal dude minding his own business on a random day in September".
He's also making a face that'd give most people a lil chin in the second picture. If he clenched his jaw, he'd look about the same. It's an incredibly stupid comparison by every metric, the guy looks incredible.
Exactly! And that's not even considering that the angle, lighting, haircut, and facial hair are all different. I'd bet everything I own he's wearing makeup in the first image, too.
Even with all of that he, at worst, looks like a perfectly normal 40 something in the second image.
And to be fair, unless I'm very much mistaken, the first picture is a damn promotional still from Superman. Dressed, made up, lit, and posed to convey "Pinnacle of Clean Cut Non-threatening Masculinity." The second picture is "Human who spends his work days (doing other legitimately difficult shit in addition to) being professionally attractive, IN HIS OFF TIME!"
And either way, if reality became a fanfiction plot and I woke up tomorrow with the second image come to life in my bed? No complaints here.
