Chiseled British star Henry Cavill, who we'll soon see on-screen in a skintight Superman costume, recently admitted that he struggled with his weight as a boy.
He told Details magazine: "I was fat. I was Fat Cavill."
"It’s modesty about the weight -- I’ve always been worried about my weight," the 30-year-old 'Man of Steel' star continued.
Now, The Daily Mail has claimed pupils at Cavill's former exclusive fee-paying school in Buckinghamshire used to tease him by calling him "Fatty Cavill." Oh how they must wish they were friends with him now...
Earlier this year, Cavill beat fellow Brits Sam Claflin and Nicholas Hoult to be crowned the biggest male breakout movie star of 2013, according to Fandango.com.
But Cavill isn't the only slim and fit celebrity to open up about his past battle with the bulge, see more examples in our slideshow below...
Stars Who've Battled Weight
Jennifer Aniston (01 of08)
At a Self magazine party, Aniston told People magazine of her and yoga instructor Mandy Ingber: "We were a lot rounder. We ate terribly. We did that, and then we sort of grew up a little bit more and we got jobs." (credit:Getty Images)
Ginnifer Goodwin(02 of08)
"I began to identify myself as fat," Goodwin explained to People of her childhood weight issues. "At 9-years-old I weighed about 10 pounds less than what my weight is at 32. I needed to get help. I ended up going to my mother crying," she continued. (credit:Getty Images)
Ryan Seacrest(03 of08)
"I do remember that feeling of growing up and being a little bit overweight. I also remember at times being teased about it and because of that it’s still in my brain. I never want to feel that way again, and that motivates me to strive hard for balance without cutting anything that I truly enjoy, but while also knowing I can’t have it all the time," Seacrest told Men's Fitness.

Lady Gaga(04 of08)
"My weight/loss/gain since I was child has tormented me," Gaga wrote on her website last year. "No amount of help has ever healed my pain about it. But you have," she added about her fans. "My boyfriend [Taylor Kinney] prefers me curvier. When I eat and am healthy and not so worried about my looks, I'm happy. Happier than I've ever been. I am not going to go on a psycho-spree because of scrutiny." (credit:Getty Images)
Khloe Kardashian(05 of08)
“Having someone in your class call you fat, ugly, too tall and so on, you start to think all those things about yourself," Kardashian told Life & Style. "And if you’re like me, those words are played on repeat inside your head.” (credit:Getty Images)
Russell Brand(06 of08)
"I was a fat kid," Brand told Now Magazine, adding, "not obese but chubby.’ (credit:Getty Images)
Kelly Osbourne(07 of08)
"I grew up on the road with my father ... but I came from a very small village, where everyone called me 'Kelly Smelly with the Big Belly Whose Dad's on the Telly,'" Osbourne told Glamour's May 2012 issue, sharing, "I call myself a FFP: former fat person. And when you're an FFP, you will always see in yourself what people used to bully you for." (credit:Getty Images)
Nicole Richie(08 of08)
In 2007, after tests, Richie was eventually diagnosed as hypoglycaemic, meaning she has a low-blood-sugar condition that makes it difficult for her to gain weight. But the media claimed she had an eating disorder since she was a heavier teen. "I definitely felt it was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don't," she told Marie Claire. "It's extremely insulting and irresponsible. An eating disorder is serious and it's a disease, and I don't think you can lightly say that someone has a disease unless they're openly telling you that they do." (credit:Getty Images)
