Boarding school prepared me for Superman role: Henry Cavill

New Superman Hanry Cavill has credited his days at boarding school for giving him the background he needed to play the comic book superhero in newmovie �Man of Steel�. The 30-year-old actor attended Stowe School in Buckinghamshire and said he used the childhood feelings of loneliness and homesickness to help him prepare to play Clark Kent�s alter-ego, reported Daily Star. "Being away from my family and not feeling like I was understood is something that I brought. I was at a boardingschool. Every three weeks I would go home for a weekend, but when you�re 13 years old and you�re emotional and you miss home, three weeks feels like a very long time - especially if you haven�t got loads of mates."Being alone isn�t easy. I wasn�t the most popular kid and I felt very alone. That�s certainly a lasting memory. I wasn�t someone who spoke a lot, and I brought that to the character," he said.In the film, Cavill�s Superman character is sent to Earth as a baby to avoid an explosion that destroys his home planet of Krypton.
