LOOK: Henry Cavill professes admiration for stunt performer GF

Henry Cavill has been keeping his relationship low-key with stunt performer Lucy Cork; only recently have the pair been seen in public events including a polo final and a tennis match in Wimbledon.

However, the “Superman” actor is finally wearing his heart on his sleeve: on Instagram, he shared a video of the “Mission Impossible 6” stunt performer.

According to the Daily Mail, the two met on the set of the movie.

Cork, 25, is seen doing a fierce kickboxing routine, and her boyfriend couldn’t help but praise her in an introspective caption.

We’ve all been hurt, we’ve all got it wrong, trusted the wrong person, made the wrong bet, turned the wrong way, made THAT mistake. What we’ve experienced is important, it defines us. But what is more important, and often forgotten, is that we decide how it defines us. The experience, decision or moment itself does not. Others will almost always try and define you by past transgressions more quickly than your past successes. I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been someone I’m not proud of plenty of times. I’ve fallen down. I’ve loved the wrong person. I’ve failed. I’ve been hurt. I’ve hurt. That’s life! In life we are going to get it wrong….alot. What I’ve tried to do and still try to do each time though is recognise those mistakes and mould them to my advantage. Make them a way to better myself. We’ve all had a bad experience thanks to someone else. Don’t let that bad experience decide how and who you are. Don’t let it hold you back from love or success or giving something a go. Don’t vent your pain onto or at others in an attempt to bring them down and hold them back and cry your fury to the world. Don’t let it turn you into the monster that hurt you. Use that experience! Run with it. Take the sum of your past and make it your tool to approach the future with. Move forward and love the experiences you have, use them to define you and make you the best version of yourself that is humanely possible. Your life is yours and will be whatever you want it to be. Love, grow, pursue, strive, challenge yourself. Be afraid so that you can be brave. The video above is what positive forward motion, determination, bravery, strong will, dedication and self respect looks like. This is my Lucy. She is one of the best stunt women in the world. She has defined herself. She continues to define herself. She grows, everyday. She is Lucy Cork because she says so.

He wrote about growing from mistakes, even when you get hurt: “I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been someone I’m not proud of plenty of times. I’ve fallen down. I’ve loved the wrong person. I’ve failed. I’ve been hurt.”

“What I’ve tried to do and still try to do each time though is recognise those mistakes and mould them to my advantage. Make them a way to better myself,” he said.

The 34-year-old related this life lesson to his lady love: “The video above is what positive forward motion, determination, bravery, strong will, dedication and self respect looks like.”

He declared, “This is my Lucy. She is one of the best stunt women in the world. She has defined herself. She continues to define herself. She grows, everyday. She is Lucy Cork because she says so.”

On Aug. 31 Cavill shared a photo of them on a boat, writing that he was vacationing before summer’s end.

Getting some R&R in before the summer slips away. Worry not though, my moustache continues to thrive… #Seastache

According to Cork’s official website, she has been a stunt double for multiple action movies such as “The Mummy,” “Wonder Woman” and “Assassin’s Creed.” Cork is an expert in multiple fighting skills and martial arts such as kickboxing and muay Thai, and can do car stunts, scuba diving and high diving, among others.

Sounds like a lady more than worthy of Superman himself. /ra
