"Don't throw anything at me!" The Witcher's Henry Cavill on coin tossing, Warhammer and Highlander. 

What a man. Henry Cavill is such a sweetheart. He’s gorgeous and intellectual. I’d love to just talk to him for hours on end and I’d never be bored.

9:54 Sharing the knowledge of Arcane is actually an amazing gift!

Books; all the halo books

Such a good interviewer. Finally war hammer is brought up and not instantly mocked.

What...The fuck was that music choice during those intro scenes? Did not mix well with the show at all.

Ali ‘look at this meme from Facebook’ plum

Zeus maybe 👆🤡

Him, Josh Horowitz, and Sean Evans are my most respected interviewers

Sean from Hot Ones is. Henry must get a 40k movie going.

up there with Sean Evans from Hot Ones!

That gave me a chuckle, I literally swam from island to island exploring but never finished all the Skellige side quests...

Me after finishing all the side quests in Skellige: It's been 84 years👴🏽

@@domokun845 why did you swim?

@@TheDennys21 Just for the hell of it really to see how far I could get lol

@@domokun845 but why swim when there are boats?

Those same interviewers have also done interviews where they fault men for exactly the same behaviour, which is just BEYOND hilarious to me

Ali Plumb is an amazing interviewer. He seems to effortlessly get on with everyone. I always enjoy his interviews!

I've seen other interviews with this guy and he always seems to do a pretty good job.

I totally agree with you ... he is just talking about what he loves! Not all the sexual innuendo with other interviewers.

I totally agree- it’s uncomfortable to watch too

Thanks Darling

How are you doing

@@henrycavill2225 lmfao

Actually Henry Canvil himself insisted to play the role.

Reminds me of the actor who played Roose Bolton in GoT had no idea what was going on, what he was saying and was horrified at burning his daughter in the script 😭😭

He also seems so natural and comfortable to talk to, need more of him

Ali Plumb is the most superb interviewer ever

I'm just happy he isn't gushing over Henry's body. The dude is a huge geek, I'm glad he is focusing on that.

Yes! him and I want to see Henry on Hot Ones. Sean does incredible research and asks just the right questions.

@@MRetoastet oh lord henry on cold ones would be awesome! sean is defo up there with ali in terms of the interviewers that do their research and manage to make their guests feel like friends of the show in the best way possible

He's so refreshingly polite and utterly lacking of ego.

looks like rain

GigaChad

What does that even mean

Wind's howling

Great interview

Thought the same. It can be even painful to watch some interviews. Glad this one was such appositive surprise :)

I gotta say this is one of the few interviews in which the interviewer avoids eye contact. I am quite surprised. He must be a huge Henry Cavill fan 😅

@flashfair I was wondering about that. Does Cavill have a thing about eye contact?

@@michaelh9649 I don't think he does but let's be real everyone stares at him like he is meat!! Maybe this interviewer though he would make him more comfortable by not staring at him.

WHAAAAT? Why is he gone? Henry won't be the Witcher in the next season? Its a joke? 😭

@@luminaratano3935 its all over the internet. Henry is in season 3 and from season 4 onwards Liam Hemsworth takes over.

dont know much about this series , but i dont think he couldve defeated the SJW cult

You don't need to imagine anything, just watch how they've been fucking up basically everything about The Witcher from the start...

@@RU-vidsaysimCyberbullywhat does that have to do with anything

He is brilliant. Show is great, books and games are better, but no one could do a better Geralt.

Right. I was like who else could do that? He is Geralt.

And yet he is barely in the episodes.

Yes, he is Geralt ❤️

Agreed!

You can tell his cast members die a little inside when he's asked how he became interested in the Witcher for the millionth time lol.

@@jhandle900 You aren't wrong. I swear there is eye rolls and groans every time. haha

Exactly. I also just came from that compilation and needed a palate cleanser. Actors aren’t pieces of meat and I wish interviewers would realise that. Ask intelligent questions

Same rabbit hole to here as well

Thanks for your continuous love and support Donnie ❤❤

How long have you been a fan of mine??

Smashing interview! Very interesting questions. Straight to the point. Henry Cavill is a cracking story teller, very shrewd, intelligent and he is a man of culture and highly educated. It's delightfull listening to him. He's comfortable in this interview and happy in his environment the Witcher world, a great epic saga. HC is truthfull to the story as a fan of Andrzej Sapkowski's books and the video games. He knows the plot better than anyone, giving his heart, body and soul to the this series🎉 No one compares to Henry Cavill playing Geralt of Rivia. He's top notch😊

ya the cracks were already showing

He was really sad when answering that question

LEt me just make it clear, Henry is still doing season 3 right?

@@MaverickZ007 yes

hearing him say , "I will fight tooth and nail for him" makes it a bit more clear what exactly happened to the series. Probably I a lot of things in the source material or game Henry suggested to be adhered to, but never was. Unfortunate the writers couldn't make a better adaptation.

Also Brandon Sanderson finished Wheel of Time after Robert Jordan passed away!

Thanks for that - exactly what I was looking for

Thank you so much.My mind was saying”Henry wait,wait your going to fast.”

I thought it was 3 books titled "Anything"

can someone like so i can remember to come back

That's Ali for you, comes prepared or doesn't come at all.

@@Jadorelainie to be fair he's right, henry cavill would totally fit as a voice actor in arcane

@@aminekakla10 Henry watched Arcane after this. Henry recommended Arcane to another interviewer Josh Horowitz (you can see Josh's tweet). And yeah I can picture Henry being Darius or Aatrox

@@abdurrafi1430 oh i didnt know that and i actually pictured him as darius too

@@abdurrafi1430 For anyone too lazy to see the tweet Abdur is talking about: "Funny story: spent some time with Mr. Cavill last week. We exchanged a bunch of geeky tv/film recommendations. He ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommended ARCANE. So methinks your recommendation worked, Ali!"

Thanks for your continuous love and support Clancy ❤❤

How long have you been a fan of mine??

It would be a pleasure to immagine a D&D session with all the members of the witcher cast 😂😆

Critical Role and Henry crossover please. Cavill Role.

Agreed. When he did Graham Norton and Graham was very clearly making fun of him and subtlety belittling him for being a nerd. I hated that.

@@gregsouch Graham Norton pisses me off on another level. Whoever gave that guy free reign to interview and act however tf he pleases is a complete imbecile.i can't stand the guy.

When they mentioned Warhammer i thought they were talking about the MMO. Then i realised he meant the figurines. He actually plays Warcraft.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you remember the interview

@@aidantheeofficial1897It is Q&A live witcher stream on IGN. The host name is Josh Horowitz you can read his tweets, he only tweeted about this Henry/Arcane moment but it wasn't in the interview.

@@jojo1cool oh ok thanks

Thank you so much for the update!

I mean, Arcane is just a genuinely great show, regardless of wheter you like video games or not.

And yet Witcher season 2 is just an insult to any Witcher book/game fan

YEP YEP AND YRREP

@@goochipoochie And yet stop watching and go read and play, instead of whining on internet:) I enjoyed the sht out of it, better than 1st season and my plan is to play and read one time xD You cant take away my pleasure!

@@goochipoochie He's not the showrunner.

@@goochipoochie how so? As an outsider, i thought it was frigging brilliant

As it should be, Wish more celebs were as humble and down to earth as he is.

thanks Adan

He names everyone mentioned!! So awesome

Henry as Karl Franz. Summon the Elector Counts, Netflix!

@@666MetalMatt NO, Henry as Emperor in unification Wars

Maybe Gregor Eisenhorn when Henry Cavill is a bit older. Everyone always says he would be a good Constantine Valdor.

@@SuperCyberStriker The emperor is to distant/detached from the stories to be a main character. Plus he doesn’t have a fixed form which can be represented like Jaqen H'ghar the faceless man in game of thrones.

He could absolutely pull off The Emperor

Agreed. I was waiting for this interview. Amazing work.

He even geeks out but plays it cool and isn't annoying about it

Apart from when he accidently insulted Matt Smith 😅

Well it would have been better if the interviewer made eye contact with Henry. It's really irritating when interviewers keep looking at the floor. Good questions but shit interaction.

Thanks Fans

I could see henry playing or voicing Dalinar.

Yeah

I think it'd be interesting if Henry Cavill played Amaram.

I see him as either Adolin or Kaladin, he would also make an excellent Kelsier

1000% this lol we used to have a lot more role models like this, Henry is an amazing person to look up to and want to emulate

He seems like a nice person, pleasant to be around, and like he enjoys his hobbies unapologetically. There are worse people to emulate

Time to plan your workout schedule and how to maintain discipline.

I FOUND U KIRYU-CHAN

why be someone else when you could just be yourself? I know, wild take

He also reads Sanderson.

I was so excited when he mentioned Feist!! - that was my introduction to fantasy and still holds a very high bar for me.

David Gemmell :( Wished he was still around

@@Tristana.Keauna Be still my beating heart!! When he mentioned Feist, he brought back so much nostalgia. The Magician is one of my all time favourite books

@@fattysl26 The entire Riftwar Saga is one of my all time favorites to read, I read it like 4 or 5 times allready, now I'm gonna check out Sanderson.

Nope, he is good for many reason but far too big and bulky for a Witcher and especially Gerald. There is even something in the books about it that Witcher need to be lean and agile and its not about strength which never really helps in fighting Monsters thanks to the potions. He even mentions that in one Interview, that he is so not the lean Gerald from the books and games.

@@fckprc8149 doesn't change the fact he is a good geralt. Do you really need to follow the books though.

@@fckprc8149 Hate to break it to you, but physical appearance is one of the first things that change in any adaptation, it's nice when someone looks like they lifted right out from the pages of a book, but the actual portrayal of the characters is what matters most.

@@fckprc8149 jerald

@@fckprc8149 he isnt that ripped tbh, not body builder type by any means, just in very good shape. i feel he is an ok fit. anyone larger would be as ridiculous as conan.

Honestly I hope he doesn't. He has the looks and the charisma, but his personality is almost the antithetical to Bond. I can see the appeal, but I don't feel Bond is good for him... Even if having him would be good for the Bond Franchise.

Bond movies are just bland action movies. Cavill got the charisma for it, but they are not worthy of his talent. I rather see him making high quality movies.

LOL. And even then he plays Custodes. That acting money will only get you 10 minis a couple of bikes.

Yawn..zzzzzzzz

Can I just drink it instead.

Hello Greetings....👋

Well, kinda like a meme: - I have a plan guys - player leaves the game

Smile

Nah, Ali is also a genuine geek, you can see it in his interviews (especially when talking to people like Henry)

@@hafizharun1727 Good to hear! ;)

Thank you Kari Esther

@@henrycavill8387 I assume this is a fake account but I actually don't care. I was watching some of his interviews, I'm about the same age as him and grew up in Northern Ireland. Attending school in Belfast I was by far the geekyist person there and shared a lot of the same passions and hobbies as Henry, but I was also bullied terribly for them. It left me being insular about my passions, I would try to hide all the sci-fi I would watch and read because of how harshly I was judged. As I became an adult it took time (though studying physics at uni helped me open up), but I was able to relax about these things. Even as a student I felt some weird shame and guilt probably because of all the bullying it entailed. I love the fact that the zeitgeist has moved on such that people actually appreciate these hobbies, find them interesting and show respect. In my thirties I can feel safe to chat about being addicted to Populous etc. Hearing Henry talk about how he used to shy away from talking about Warhammer but now feels comfortable was heart-warming to hear as I feel like I went through that same experience.

Hello Greetings.....👋

So, as a newbie to this author’s work, would you have a recommendation as to what to start with? Will I be overwhelmed with too many characters/plot lines/lineages to absorb what’s happening? I hate having to take notes when I read. Hopefully you see this-and thanks!

@@to1620 I would start with Legend. Definitely read the series in publication order. It has been my experience that Gemmell's world has more meaning and impact when you move back and forth in the timeline. After reading the first three books, take a break and read the John Shannow/Jerusalem Man series for a palate-cleanser. It's basically a western/fantasy/sci-fi trilogy. It was my first introduction to Gemmell's work. In fact, according to Gemmell, all of his books exist in the same universe, so there's that. Also, you won't need to take notes at all. I'm ecstatic that you've decided to read DG. Best of luck!

@@noiceman I appreciate your response, and knowledge! Will scout my first book next week. Thank you! (And happy reading!) 📖 📕 📚

As a lifelong Gemmell fan I was so happy to hear him mentioned. Now let's hope that Mr. Cavill uses his influence to get a live-action series made based on some Gemmell books :-))) (And he himself would be a wonderful young Druss!)

@@spectralboardgamer I'd rather see Cavill as someone like Rek or Tanaka. But honestly, I hope they never get the rights to Gemmell's material. Netflix or Hollywood would just woke-ify it and ruin everything I hold dear.

Yes, would be cool to have him co-direct an episode or 2 of the witcher! Its been done before with other shows! Suits comes in mind with both main actors directing a couple of episodes.

When I first started reading your comment my mind already skipped ahead to what I thought you were going to say... well I was wrong because I was thinking producing... "porn"... hahah 👀🙇🏻‍♂ whoops

Must have been a money thing. They thought "we don't wanna pay Cavill money for this. Let's see if we can find someone as good but cheaper". Then they saw his screen test and they were like "we need to raise the money no matter what. Geralt can only be Cavill".

@@ipuya It might not have been a money thing. People were doubting Henry's emotional range before he was cast. I haven't seen The Witcher but if he proved those people wrong, good for him. Many actors and actresses have to prove to people that their first impressions of them were wrong.

@Shadow M He just doesn't have the physique du role for Geralt. He's too massive.

Oh really

thanks for the love and supports...... with the supports of great fans like you, i have been able to attain this great height of mine...... which country are you in?

Same. So happy I was wrong!

When people connect with the character they are portraying it shows. I think the series would have flopped if Harry had not played Geralt.

Right? I was hoping he'd say Stormlight Archives. It's such a good series. Didn't know about Raymond Feist though so I can't wait to check out his books. Just checked audible which is my favorite way to read books at the moment because adhs and such. The recordings thankfully sound great, yay. 🥳 Next Stormlight book will take some time still as will the next Dresden Files one, so I have some time to immerse myself into something new. Listened to Blake Arthur Peels series Fall of Radiance last month. It's not Sanderson by any means but still nice if you can tolerate that it has a bit more romance and isn't as complex. Same narrator as the Sanderson books for audiobook listeners that helps too I guess haha. Now listening to the second book of the Alex Verus series. This far I'll say it's a bit Dresden Files light but alright. Do you (or anyone reading this) have any suggestions for books in that realm of fantasy? Have a lovely day!

Stormlight and Dresden files… it doesn’t get any better than that!

@@FrolleinMiez Raymond E Feist is awesome start from magicain and try follow the rest from there it's a really good story with good characters. You could try Robin Hobb she Really good as well. Start with the Farseer trilogy

@@FrolleinMiez oh also try Patrick Rothfuss

@@MrTemp85 thank you so much for the suggestions! Putting Robin Hobb on my list right now. Patrick Rothfuss is on it already. I was looking for some input on what to read next for a while. Really glad I found it in this comment section. Who'd have thought haha. Do you know Melissa McPhail's "A Pattern of Shadow and Light" series? Wanted to check out the first book next maybe.

Nah

Yes, he is Geralt😍

@@na1219 Yah

@@imbretzy nah

Not really because he does not understand Geralt. Geralt is a talkative philosopher in the books with a towering intellect, but in the show Geralt has become too quiet, too stupid and too unfunny.

Seriously. I was thinking the same thing.

My heart too 😭 I want a petition for firing the useless writers.

There really couldn't have been a better Geralt of Rivia...

No kids? 😭🥺

Average gamer

The only problem with being an Ali Plumb fan is now he makes it hard to watch other interviews, because they seem so lame. The only other person I enjoy interviewing celebs is Graham Norton.

Well it would have been better if the interviewer made eye contact with Henry. It's really irritating when interviewers keep looking at the floor. Good questions but shit interaction.

Mine too😂

Totally agree - would love to see Henry's response to it - and also give him a voice in Season 2

Gonna watch it after S2 of the Witcher

True, I absolutely hate LoL, it's a shit game made for shit people. But the show was awesome.
