Henry Cavill and Joe Manganiello are not only similar for their undeniable talent or rugged good looks but one more thing.

Henry Cavill and Joe Manganiello Have a Surprising Similarity, Apart From Being Two Handsome Actors

Hollywood has its fair share of chiseled jaws and captivating charisma. But
beyond the superficial shine, some unlikely bonds emerge. Take Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] and Joe Manganiello, two actors
who have carved their paths in the industry through acting prowess and
undeniable charm. Both actors have created a name for themselves, taking up
roles in the superhero world of DCEU. 

It would, however, surprise fans that the two share a similarity that transcends
their undeniable good looks and screen brilliance. However, what is it?


HENRY CAVILL AND JOE MANGANIELLO SHARE THIS SIMILAR TRAIT

The surprising similarity that binds Henry Cavill and Joe Manganiello is their
unabashed passion for geek culture. The tales of the former Superman’s love for
gaming and comics have been well-documented over the years. While he conquers
screens with action-packed roles, in his off-screen lives, he indulges in
pixelated battlefields and meticulously paints miniatures. Likewise, Manganiello
is a huge fan of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons as he has proved many
times like on Wired’s Q & A session.

and The Witcher 3. He has built his custom gaming rig and even engaged in online
tournaments. As for Manganiello, he has made the basement of his home a haven
for Dungeons & Dragons players. Their shared passion is not just a quirky hobby,
but rather a core of who they are.

While Manganiello’s Dungeons & Dragons escapades are no less legendary in
comparison to Cavill’s miniatures, many would not know that the actor almost
played Superman, which broke the Enola Holmes star into mainstream stardom.


JOE MANGANIELLO CAME CLOSE TO PLAYING SUPERMAN

In 2017, Joe Manganiello shared details on just how close he was to being cast
in the title role of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. During his talk with the host
of MTV’s Happy Sad Confused Podcast, revealed he came as far as costume
measurements. “I met with Zack. I had an hour-and-a-half-long meeting with Zack,
which is what was causing all the trouble,” he recalled.

He even met with other cast members, but it all came crashing down because of
his commitment to True Blood. The actor said it took him a long time before he
watched the superhero film, which of course passed to Cavill. Whatever the case
may be, Manganiello has certainly built a career for himself and shown a
tremendous amount of commitment to his work.
