Known for playing Superman in the movies, the 41-year-old actor recently started dating Natalie Viscuso

This Saturday (15/4), Henry Cavill used Instagram to defend his relationship with Natalie Viscuso. The 41-year-old actor and the girl have been receiving virtual attacks since they announced their relationship in April of this year.

“I couldn’t help but notice that there’s been a bit of social animosity lately. It’s becoming more and more common on my feed […] For those of you who are expressing your disdain and showing your discontent in a variety of surprising ways, it’s time to stop. I know it can be fun to speculate, gossip, and delve into our own personal internet echo chambers, but your ‘passion’ is out of control and is causing harm to the people I care about most,” wrote the Superman actor .

“I am very happy in love and in life. I would be immensely grateful if you would be happy for me,” the actor continued.

So far, his post has received 1 million likes.
