Before leaving The Witcher, in the hype and excitement for Season 1, Henry Cavill revealed that his worst day on the set at WitcherCon 2021.

2 Years Before Leaving &#8216;The Witcher&#8217;, Henry Cavill Had the Worst Day Ever because of This One Reason

Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] may be one of
America’s leading men, but that does not mean that he does not experience bad
days, too. After building his career by playing Superman, the actor jumped into
his next project, which was The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]. While the show may have had fans
falling in love with his portrayal of Geralt of Rivia, the Man of Steel actor
actually ended up facing one of his worst fears when he was on set.

Last year, Cavill announced that he would not be coming back to the hit Netflix
series following its third season. But before that depressing announcement, he
had surprised fans at the Witcher Con with some rather surprising and bloody
revelations.


HENRY CAVILL RECALLS HIS WORST DAY EVER AT WITCHERCON

In reports from Slash Films
[https://www.slashfilm.com/1389869/the-witcher-henry-cavill-injured-dog-crisis/],
back in 2021, Henry Cavill revealed that he had gone through one of the worst
days of his life on the set of The Witcher season 1. At WitcherCon, the actor
opened up to his fans about the day they shot one of the show’s most memorable
scenes. He said that his dog, Kal, had joined him in the trailer. But somehow
got free and ran out, which led to an incident that could make a grown man cry,
and it did.

After getting out, Kal ended up tripping on “these metal stairs outside”, and
hurting himself pretty badly. However, before the actor, who described the curse
of being Superman
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-how-henry-cavill-described-the-curse-of-playing-superman-seven-years-before-losing-the-role/],
could help his dog, he was called onto the set for filming. Thankfully for him,
he had his assistant, Leah Gyimah, take the injured dog to the vet. But that is
when things ended up getting even scarier for Cavill when Gyimah called him to
tell him that they would have to remove Kal’s nail. She went on to tell him that
the doctor had also warned that “dogs going under, they may not necessarily wake
up.“

Thankfully, Kal came out of the surgery and was completely fine. But Henry
Cavill could not forget how stressed he was during the filming. They ended up
shooting the Selkiemore scene, which saw Geralt make his way back to a bar after
a huge battle with a mythical creature.


WHAT WENT THROUGH HENRY CAVILL’S MIND DURING THE SELKIEMORE SCENE

There is no doubt in the minds of fans that Season 1 of The Witcher was the best
season of the series, but when it comes to the Selkiemore scene, Henry Cavill
might disagree. The forty-year-old told his fans at WitcherCon, that the day of
filming was “a particularly rough moment,” since all he could think about was
Kal and his injured paw. He even recalled the fear he felt when he thought he
might never see his dog again, but thankfully the procedure went off without a
hitch.



Fans of Henry Cavill get to see cute cameos of the dog on his Instagram, and
after his little incident, he is still as adorable as ever. And the actor even
adopted another dog to keep him company called Baggins. But even with all the
cuteness, The Witcher fans cannot help but feel sad about the actor’s absence
from the show. After a rather disappointing end to an era, the fourth season is
set to release sometime in 2024.
