Henry Cavill has been very open about his nerdy side and how proud of it he is. The story of him missing the call of his anointment as Superman just because he was busy playing World Of Warcraft has been a famous tale of his now. Just as such, the actor has read all the books of The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski and has played every game as well.
In an interview with Graham Norton on The Graham Norton Show, the actor very smoothly hinted as to how he ends up correcting a lot of people on the set of The Witcher because he knows more about the series than anyone else present there.
Henry Cavill Embraces His Inner Nerd
Netflix’s The Witcher has recently concluded the filming for its third season and stars Henry Cavill as the titular role along with Anya Chalotra as Yennefer and Freya Allan as Ciri as well as Joey Batey as Jaskier. The show is based on novels and games of the same name. Cavill had hinted swiftly about how he would correct his fellow crew members and make sure they are right on the lore of the series itself. Being Geralt of Rivia himself, he takes it upon himself that no one stayed uninformed about the show and its story.
Graham Norton had too very humorously stated how Cavill waves his nerd flag with pride. Being a gaming enthusiast and a nerd, Henry Cavill has played multiple roles that support his fun-loving personality in search of more comic books and movie knowledge.
Henry Cavill Showing His Nerdy Side As And When He Gets The Chance
Henry Cavill has always been an enthusiast for Warhammer 40,000 and World Of Warcraft, so much so that the actor paints his figurines and pits them against others for battles. He even shared a video of himself building his PC and his gaming setup. He also stated that if there was a choice between Xbox and PlayStation, the actor would choose a PC.
The actor, much like any nerd, loves to drop references whenever the opportunity arises. Especially if they are Warhammer references. Not only that, but Cavill had also been a huge Superman fan as a child and now the actor is the beacon of hope for the city of Metropolis.
The Witcher’s season three would air in the summer of 2023 on Netflix.
