Superman IRL: Henry Cavill Wields A Chainsaw To Help With Hurricane Irma Cleanup
Actor Henry Cavill, who portrays the Man of Steel in the DCEU, seems to have taken a few pointers from his character.
As a hero, Superman does whatever it takes to keep people safe and to restore order when chaos erupts. Actor Henry Cavill, who portrays the Man of Steel in the DCEU, seems to have taken a few pointers from his character; he headed to Florida to offer assistance with the massive cleanup after Hurricane Irma devastated the state earlier this month.
Cavill, who has been playing the Last Son of Krypton since 2013, posted a video on Instagram of himself wielding a chainsaw while standing atop a large tree limb. Check it out below:
The British-born actor added a caption to the video.
Popped over to Florida to help out some friends. Also got to use a chainsaw for the first time and as you can see it was almost my last time too! Wishing everyone a speedy rebuild process and a chainsaw accident free environment. #HurricaneIrma
While Cavill has lent his impressive muscles to the task, many celebrities have given out of pocket and have used their star power to raise money to help the victims of both Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. On September 12th, celebrities came together for a star-studded telethon that aired on several networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, HBO, MTV and BET. The fundraiser was also streamed online. "Hand in Hand" raised over $44 million.
It's great to see actors helping with their wallets — and, in Cavill's case, it's even better to see them helping with their biceps.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
