Henry Cavill on His Warhammer Hobby, the Least Searched Questions About Him & Grilling on Set 

😂😂 exactly. Hemsworth is not our Witcher. He has too much of a snob attitude

Why did Henry leave the role?? Why didn't he stay on?

@@leif1075 Producers and creators basically hate the original Witcher series of books and think they can write better stories. Henry signed on with the understanding that they would be based on the book, not on some hack writers who've never had their own book and think they're god's greatest creation when it comes to writing. Henry walked out after that...

@@pkpnyt4711 For clarity, all of this is just fan assumptions that the two are connected. It's just as likely that it was scheduling difficulties. (Also, it was some of the writers who weren't fans of the books. Other writers and producers were fans.)

@TheCanipaEffect for clarity as well the 1st season when it stayed as true to the book as possible is when they had those writers that liked the books. We're talking about season 2 and 3 when they started bringing in new writers to the show. These were the writers that started to think they were better than the books. The terrible stories in season 2 and 3 show this clearly.

same lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ditto :) I think nerds and dorks go well together, so we're all in good company ❤️

Dayummmnnn Sooooo meeeee😮😮

Ditto! 👍

As a Custodes player it's so surreal seeing a photo of a Custodian Guard model on mainstream TV. Glory to the 10,000!

The Emperor protects.

This is wild.

Always the Goldy Shiny boys to get love from the Emperor..

Like on the great crusade he brings humanity together and informs of 40k

there are very few people you can dislike, keanu and henry are the ones who make movies and as people well respected.

Not to mention, has morals. And is still somehow human. More human than most humans. Think about it. He plays Wow for free time - He was waiting in queue for a bg or a raid for days just like us. He was prolly the guy in his school who won the what we in Finland call the hymypalkinto(smile statue) in school. It's like a small statue given to one kid in class every year for being the most awesome person. Every student in class votes and whoever gets the most points wins. This was in elementary school. I veered off topic but my point is Henry Cavil prolly won that every year.

And he is a Chiefs fan (and was long before Mahomes, so don't think its a bandwagon thing)

​@@lawrencefrost9063 Fact: There is no such thing in British schools.. but I otherwise would agree.

Built like a tank requires years of discipline, foregoing and hard, hard work. While I know what you mean, it’s still worth saying he wasn’t born like this. Genes play a part, but this is 99% perspiration.

Warhammer is not about winning or losing, it's about how many dice you get to REROLL!

@@davidbeppler3032 unfortunately, in recent years this has become absolutely true.

Well he doesn't play eldar

Warhammer isn't about winning or losing, it's about spending thousands of dollars on a game you get to actually play MAYBE twice a year.

I truly can't wait for whatever he is working on to come out. I'm extreamly excited to se Henry Cavil in a Warhammer 40k production, be it a movie or a series! Heck, I would even settle for a commercial at this point. 🤓😎😁

Tend to agree❤❤❤😊

Jimmy is practically drooling over him. I don’t blame him.

Not an awkward interview per se, but just really stupid questions / commentary from Jimmy. Henry handled it extremely well.

agreed ❤ its a very good and funny interview.

I totally agree no awkward interview, just too gorgeous to look at.😅

I don't think I've ever heard someone asking him if he would ride a unicycle before.

I think the problem is the interviewers don't do any research on his hobbies. Like Jimmy doesn't know anything about 40K or D&D - so he has to make really bad generic questions. A lot of interviewers do this and it's quite sad really. You can only engage a nerd in a topic if you actually know something about it and then you will see him TRULY excited.

he should do Hot Ones if he hasn't already. I don't think he has

@@themagescorner Exactly. I was just thinking how an interview today would be between Cavil and Conan had he still been hosting his tonight show. Conan is a great host.

@@jkkarkar This, I'm sure Conan would actually go extra mile to make a good research on Henry knowing that he gets that stupid questions like "hurr and you play with those? herp herp herp"

Man... this exactly how I feel it ! Just didn't know how to explain this.

Arts and crafts calms the mind, untill you run outta patience... 😅

Yes, he is perfect candidate for my movies to have him attached to possible future. I would love to get educated about nerd culture more too.

@@miroslavassiniavskis7725 Well it's dying because suddenly our (nerds) hobbys got so popular that the mainstream took over and basically destroyed them. In the words of Martin Scorsese, it used to be cinema, but now it has become the MCU.

And jimmy can't help but dive into the shallow end with the "just drop that and look in a mirror and say youre doing fine"... sheesh... Held a mirror up to him and the general idiocy of the world too

🇫🇷

Fun fact, these shows are scripted and rehearsed. Kimmel is very much a nerd like Cavill, and he is part of one of the biggest and most well-known D&D groups in the world. He absolutely knows warhammer. He plays the part of his audience, who are casual media enjoyers that would not have the patience or interest in hardcore hobbys. Cavill understands he is unusual for his looks paired with his hobby, he has stated he is used to it, and loves to introduce people to his hobby. People often forget that acting and film production is a nerd interest, and is filled with nerds and geeks. Pretty much all actors and actresses have some nerd hobbies, and most of them hide it pretty well. Cavill is a hardcore enthusiast and is very open about it, mostly because he priorities it over his career and his community are very proud to have him. Thus we get these seemingly ignorant and passive aggressive interviews that irk anyone in the know, and is an interesting topic to the casuals.

Everyone is a nerd about something. Sports, art, computers or other tech, celebrities, interior design, food, gyms/working out. A nerd is just someone who’s super interested about something. Being a nerd about something is just a way of saying you are super interested in something.

And shower once or twice a week.

Always been a nerd. Once 3 bullies came to me. I did beat the crap out of two, the third fled. Nerd doesn't mean you can't fight or you have no courage. It just means you've got a ton of better things to do, possibly along with other nerds.

@@KingLuis1985 Yes and no. Those are nerd hobbies and interests (gym/workout only until recently has become nerdy), sports are still on their way to becoming that way, but very slowly, there is still an old guard that is gatekeeping interest in most physical sports. I think you are skipping the social ineptness (and even antisocial) figure of "nerd", which is what society really qualifies as such. Like technology, science, math, video and board games, media, art, etc. Interior design is one of those I would consider a meta art, it really doesn't follow a lot of creativity and focuses more on contemporary looks. Very far from being in "nerd" realm. Especially considering it's more for the interest group that obsesses over modernism and extroverted appearances. Nerd culture is more introvert. Which is a good word to talk about acting with. Acting is very much a extroverted activity, however, a majority of actors and actresses are very introverted when they are not behind the camera. People like Cavill, Kimmel, Conan, Letterman, etc are often found to prefer being introverted when they do not have to be "the show". This is due in part to cinema and media in general being a very nerd culture. The knowledge of history for past present and future of the interest, the knowledge of technology and the art of the final imagined cut, and of course the aspect of doing it for themselves, not for others. Which I find very antithesis when it comes to talk shows.

Ok Nancy

Same

Mine too! 💙❤💛🦸🏻

Oh mine too! Best Superman ever ❤

​@@electrikoptik oK nAnCy 🤓☝🏻

What irritates me is the interviewers all just latch onto Henry being a WH40K like it’s a bullet point talking note. There’s never any sincerity or genuine interest in his hobby. And then they always belittle Henry, always the go to joke “haha fuckin dork nerd! Am I right audience?!”

He doesn't care though, he owns it humbly!

@@flattmeister1704 I mean, for normies I'd imagine it is kinda weird. So you gotta like poke a bit of fun at it, ESPECIALLY because Henry is a very typical hunk. I wouldn't worry about it

for the god emperor!

That and he is doing the Warhammer 40k show.

He's arguably the closest to the DC animation of superman in term of personality. And DC animation is known to be superior to the DCU.

Christopher Reeve was the Superman that came straight out of the Comic page and he will forever hold his special place as the First. Henry may not look much like the comics but he knows what the idea of Superman means. He knows why people love Superman. Also he had no shame in accepting that people did not like Snyder's version. He acknowledges as well as respects the movie fans and the comic fans which is so rare these days. He may not had a good story or character written for Modern Day Superman as per some (Man of Steel is my second most favorite Superhero movie after Watchmen) but he tried his best to portray the character that was given to him. That's why we love him .. we adore him... He is SUPERMAN

​@@deeptrlpThe new guy seems to be like that and fortunately he is backed by a director who also shares that vision

@@deeptrlp Henry looks A LOT like the comics. What do you mean?

@@1God1Christ which one... 52 or prior... he's my favorite Superman though... He's just perfect

he knows cavill is added to the ''handsome men club'' even though kimmel can,t be part of that himself anymore..

@@RedSampler 😁😁😁

Times have changed; both ‘nerd’ and ‘geek’ have recently become more of a compliment than an insult.

I'm not offended at all. I tell people I'm a nerd all the time. I take it as a compliment

I’m a board gamer, so nerd/geek is kind of a badge of honour (and to be honest, geeks rule the world these days), but I think this interview comes off more like ridiculing the guy for his hobby as opposed to showing genuine interest.

@@julfinch It's always been a compliment, the fact that some clueless normies didn't know that and were using the word because they got mad at cool stuff, doesn't change that.

​@@benjaminspears8488 they always have. Atleast for a long time. And i never understood this nerd stigma in the first place. Dude you have hobbies just like everybody else. I always hated how people tried to make you feel less for wanting to explore computers lol. All he does is paint jimmy hes not a nerd

Agreed. I think his most attractive feature is his kind eyes. He's obviously ridiculously handsome, but his eyes give off such a kind energy that he doesn't seem intimidating.

And he can cook?!

A few years back his very young niece said her uncle was Superman during a speech to class. The teacher told her off and the class made fun of her. Caville walked her to school and went with her in class to prove she was telling the truth!

What's weird about his hobbies???

@@lilpain1997 not really weird, but let's say unusual. painting little soldiers and then play with them with others... not so common, but pretty cool. It's hard to find anything to dislike about him.

With his money to free time ratio his pile of shame could probably put all our piles of shame to shame! XD

understandably, sounds really good

When you look like HC, you could sit there picking your nose all day and you get forgiven a lot.

I love Henry Cavill - always have🥰

Let your Geek flag fly!!!💙💯

Be yourself huh? Unless you look like that, its not gonna work

His voice did crack a little hahahaha...... 😂

That curl though, right? It’s magical!😍

@@NatzJoy YES!🥰👍🔥💯

That's the Superman S-curl 😁

Jimmy was all of us in that moment

Do ya babe ❤

On god, if I was in Cavils position, I would find Kimmel so insufferable

Graham Norton was even worse trying to mock Henry. They’re all pathetic.

Bro I'm dying to read the Superman movie that Henry and Mission Impossible director Chris Mcquarrie pitched to WB, who sadly turned them both down. Such a shame. However, insiders say he may have been asking for way too much money and major creative control, that an A level star can demand. However Cavill isn't an A level star (probably at least B - C level) and that to some degree I can understand WB being a little hesitant to bring him back due to his demands that maybe he hadn't quiet earned, but at the same time WB was also being extremely difficult as well.

@@Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast Hearing the story of his career it sounded like he just kept missing out. Lots of bad breaks that stymied the development of his career.

@@laraq07 missing out on what? WB turned them both down for their Superman movie. Are you saying due to past unlucky breaks, this was another one?

this lol, stop talking about his physique, I'm quite sure he knows, and pick his brain a lil bit!

His parents have raised him well!

Make him a Primarch

We must

@@satori2890 *Emperor

Yes and they troll and stalk his instagram pages. They are worse to his gf Natalie.

He is too old , 41 is old

the interviewer must have had a rough night :D

😅😅😅❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Did any of the other players look like Henry Cavill? 🤣

You need a degree to learn all the rules in Warhammer 40k though

He’s so cool he can play Warhammer and still be cool.

It's also really is about ruining your mother's dining room table. I'm literally sitting next to a ruined wood dining room table that was fine until SOMEONE (my brother) had to paint his miniatures on it. He doesn't even play anymore, it's all about video games now...

But you don't look like Henry...

He is the embodiment of not judging a book by its cover. In college a friend of mine that was a bodybuilder told me, we are all nerds. Henry is good proof of that.

He comes across as a dude you'd be happy to have at your games and curry night :) Plus he'd probably bring some nibbles and drinks as well as new games for peeps to try out

Henry is a genetic masterpiece!! 😳😍🥰❤️💯

​@marlenesheffield87 one day someone will speak this highly of me too I hope 😅

Ofc he is, Jimmy is a hack.

Lucky you! My friends and I have tickets for this Saturday. ❤

❤❤wow🎉🎉

Guy Richie only made bad movies when he was married with Madonna...

Good to have my initial impressions confirmed, looking forward to watching it!

But it is so far from the book and the true story.😢

I would love to see Henry be interviewed by Sean Evans from Hot Ones as Sean does a wonderful job asking interesting and unique questions! And who wouldn't want to see Henry sweat a little eating hot wings 🥵🌶😏

Even when he's talking about Warhammer, when they allow him more then like 10 seconds or the interviewer understands the setting (like when Felicia Day interviewed the cast of the Witcher), he's articulate, passionate, and thoughtful about it.

I like hearing him answer questions he wants to answer, and those are usually about his hobbies, which can be deep and challenging. you're not giving them a chance, you think your interests are better, and that is the essence of being a nerd. being looked down for your interests because npcs think theyre unimportant. i've heard this selfish bigotry for years. keep labeling everyone, you're the one who is labeled.

@@Anotherhumanbean12345 okay. First of all. I, myself, am a huge nerd. You are the one who is assuming and being what you are saying I am. Because you have a nerve to hit on this. I have no problem with his hobbies being Warhammer and gaming and everything else. What I was saying, was he is answering the exact same question about it over and over and over again. We know he’s into Warhammer. We don’t need to recover it again. So unless the interviewer plans to ask real questions about it, going back over so you like Warhammer is boring. He is worth far more interesting questions.

Oooooo

FOR THE EMPEROR!!

Tell me about it. Let's gooo, Henry is going to make the emperor proud.

Thoughts on Amazon changing the lore so female space marines can appear in Custodes?

@@mattandrews2594 Depending on tone and budget, Custodes are highly unlikely to feature in a TV series, we're more likely to mostly see Imperial Guard, PDF, probably a few Astartes. Honestly I'm more interested in finding out what Xenos races might get featured.

Anyone doing jabs at Henry loses the favor of the audience. Henry is loved by everyone, you can't be mean to him and not come out as a total jerk.

Becauase he is Henry Cavill, there is no other explanation😆😁

His a good actor love his movies

90s, so what they could have been playing is Warcraft 2, Starcraft, Red Alert, Quake, Age of Empires. Blessed times.

Lan parties, with actual PCs? That's... real geeking out

Right? When he said he and his brothers set up a LAN party in his mum's dining room, so much about that video of him building his own PC during lockdown made sense.

@@gutspillageOr Half-Life, Quake 2...

My condolences for your friends and son. I’m sure they’re still playing 40k in the next life.

❤❤❤

Maybe go to a local game store they might have people that you could connect with. I have it’s worthwhile.

Also condolences on your son and friends

My condolences I used to collect 40k as a teenager but it's an incredibly expensive hobby so I ended up giving it up when I went to University. I do miss it to a degree

40k isn't the same as warhammer

@@wibblelord2633 Stupid take. Warhammer covers 40K, AoS, and Fantasy Battle. They are all Warhammer.

@@khinzaw77 Exactly I just started this reaction channel learning the lore of 40k (loving the lore so far) and I can already tell Warhammer can be used among them all, it just depends what the context of the subject is for example: Cavill's custode = 40k.

@@wibblelord2633Eh, if anyone mentions “Warhammer” it’s usually in reference to 40k. Fantasy doesn’t get as much love

@@jtmartin1170 details matter

after Daniel Craig, Henry would seem too bulky and rigid. Cannot picture him as Bond

He definitely would!

❤cavill as bond😂😂😂😂​@@Bagglady889

Maybe not bond but he’d be a great Bond villain

He's played spies like 3-4 times already. The guy he's playing was literally one of Ian Fleming's inspirations for James Bond in real life. Let the man own his own thing, he doesn't need to be shoehorned into pre-existing thing.

King of the Nerds ! King of the Nerds !

One of us, one of us.

OUR. GUY.

I do not blame J 😊😊😊

😆😁

If you want see a Jimmy smitten you should see Jimmy Fallon's reaction to Cavill LOL

​@@tanimal3964 I like Fallon's musical skits and guests. I'm sure his Cavill interview is hilarious, but I get the feeling that Fallon is over-the-top smitten with everybody.

The "stereotypical jock" type was created and pushed by people full.of insecurities , in order for them to not feel even more inferior. But in reality , most people have their own hobbies and weirdness to themselves . Is great that guys like him can be themselves in the open, so we all can see that being oneself is cool and not to be pressured socially to not be oneself ! ✌🏼 We are al perfect in our own way ...except people doing bad things to others, those people can fry !! 😅

Same 🥰
