Here is what Henry Cavill of The Witcher has to say about his co-star and father-figure in the show Kim Bodnia.

The Witcher: “You’ve Made This a Family for Me” Says Henry Cavill In A Chat With Kim Bodnia Aka Vesemir

The Witcher has, without a doubt, been one of the most successful shows for
Netflix. Building upon the very reliable and glorious foundation laid down by
the very talented Andrzej Sapkowski. So far we have had 2 seasons of the series,
and each one of them has been phenomenal in its own way. While the first season
established the world of The Witcher, the second season explored the characters
and relationships in a deeper way.

Out of all the bonds that we saw in season 2 of the Netflix Original
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/], there was one that caught our
attention. The duo of Geralt and Vesemir was definitely something we all were
waiting for, but never did we know it would be such a beautiful dynamic. They
both share a very peculiar relationship. At some points, they have a Jedi Master
and Jedi Padawan-like bond, whereas, at other times, they resemble a father-son
dynamic.


THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN HENRY CAVILL AND KIM BODNIA IN REAL LIFE

A lot of chemistry that we see between Geralt and Vesemir
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-clip-a-look-at-kim-bodnias-vesemirs-and-geralts-bond/]
comes from the real-life bond both the actors share with each other. While
talking about their characters in a Netflix interview, Henry said to Kim, “You
made this very special for me. Because of the conversations that we had about
character and creating this soulfulness and depth. So you’ve made this a family
for me, where before I was just a lonely witcher, all by my lonesome.”

Kim also talked about his observations of Henry, and how it was something that
helped him develop the character of his mentor. He said, “I was looking at you
before I met you in your earlier interviews about how much you love The Witcher
world. And you told me that you wanted to travel inside your emotional knowledge
that you have with Geralt. And for me, that’s everything, you know, that’s my
skills. I love that.” Henry acknowledged his adherence, saying. “And you brought
it, you brought it.”


HOW LIVING IN A FOREST FOR 20 YEARS HELPED KIM BECOME VESEMIR IN THE WITCHER

Kim Bodnia also talked about how he spent 20 years living inside a forest, and
the experience he had in there came in handy when perfecting the character of
the lone survivor of the Battle of Kaer Morhen. While in conversation with
Cavill, he said, “I lived in the forest for twenty years, and when I was done
telling you about my antics traveling, and how it is to really be alone. You
said, ‘You are Vesemir’.”

Both Henry

and Kim also talked about how crying really helped them to give a more realistic
performance. They even talked about this looming fear, that maybe they both have
used up everything from their life that they can cry about. Kim has a really
beautiful way of expressing the entire process. He says, “When I do this
traveling (inside myself) all the time, it’s like my body is getting more and
more healthy. So I’ve always thought that being an actor is also healing myself.
It’s like to be a better person.”

It was just so alluring to see both actors talk about their characters and love
for their work. If you want to check out more of it, you can watch it here:
