Hollywood's new superhero Henry Cavill has proven to be more Man of the People than Man of Steel after he was spotted waiting for a bus in Clapham.

The British actor, who plays Superman in the new blockbuster, is clearly keeping his feet on the ground as he went for drinks with friends at a nearby pub.

Cavill was later photographed waiting for the 295 bus near Clapham Common and managed to remain largely unnoticed by other members of the public as he paid his fare and climbed onboard.

The new $225m blockbuster, Man of Steel, was released last Friday and has already grossed more than $125m.
