Back When Henry Cavill Confessed He would Rather Be In Front of His Gaming PC Than Going Outside

He may be the best Superman for some, and the best Witcher for others, but for
the gaming community, Henry Cavill [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/]
is simply ‘one of them.’ One of his many attributes is his perfectly flawless
biological architecture. The other, however, is his never-ending love for the
video games. If we look down on his 2-decade-old career, the recently turned
40-year-old actor has either given some truly amazing roles or is entirely and
wholeheartedly absorbed into the world of gaming.

While Cavill may be a superstar on-screen, in real life he would rather opt to
drop his fame, put on a loose t-shirt, and game for countless hours. Yes! Henry
Cavill. This reminds us of his 2019 interview with GQ ahead of The Witcher’s
premiere wherein Cavill explicitly confessed his fear of going out in public.

The British actor gets “hyper-aware,” every time he goes out because people
always take sneaky photos. “And then they put them on the internet and you see
them on Instagram and you’re like, ‘Oh, my god,'” Cavill mentioned in the GQ
interview.

However, staying at home and gaming is an escape for Henry Cavill. “At home, I
get to sit playing games for ridiculous amounts of hours and escape there,
because going outside has the opposite effect,” he added.

Notably, the Warhammer 40K producer

has already played through the game 6 times, according to a 2019 interview. And
now, he is adapting it to the show! No wonder why fans assume it to be a
marvelous series.

Did you know, though, Henry Cavill is not only a gamer but a gamer in an
old-school way?


HENRY CAVILL AMAZED THE GAMING COMMUNITY WHEN HE MADE THIS CONFESSION

In yet another interview from 2019, Cavill, like his usual self, talked about
his obsession at par. And he quite literally shocked the gaming community- which
is evenly divided over the live-action adaptation of The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]– when he answered this question.
The host apparently asked if he preferred Xbox or PlayStation, and the British
actor did not even take a minute to reply. No! It is not Xbox. The British actor
would prefer PlayStation over anything.



Cavill further disclosed that his “dad got me into it when I was very very
young.” What are your thoughts on Cavill’s statements? Let us know in the
