The actor was even asked about his geeky habits on the Graham Norton show, and
Cavill [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill] did nothing but fuel the fire
with his Warhammer stories. Here are some of the best Henry Cavill moments where
he represented peek geek behavior.


THE TIME HENRY CAVILL ALMOST LOST SUPERMAN

During his 2016 interview, which he attended with his Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice co-star Ben Affleck, Cavill told Conan O’Brien that he almost lost
Superman. Fear not, because it was for a good cause. Cavill revealed that he was
playing World of WarCraft when the phone started ringing. And he did not want to
get up because it was an important part.

It was only at the last moment that he saw that the call was from Zack Snyder.
But the call had ended. Thankfully, Snyder picked up the second time Cavill
called and believed his “I was saving someone’s life” story.


HOW CAVILL SAVED THE WITCHER SERIES?

Now, there are many reasons which prove that The Witcher‘s massive popularity
aligns perfectly with the fact that Cavill was playing Geralt of Rivia. When
makers first came out with a trailer for the Netflix series, gamers were not
having it. It was only through the actor yapping off about details hidden deep
in The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] books that only a
true fan would know, that people gave it a shot.

When an interviewer asked Cavill what he thinks of the haters, he blew us away
by actually siding with them. He reasoned that The Witcher
[https://www.netflix.com/title/80189685] is something people are very passionate
about, and the criticism will only make the series better.


WHEN HE COULD NOT TRUST WIKIPEDIA

A moment from Henry Cavill’s interview that would go on to become viral is his
“WIKIPEDIA?” Fans loved the sheer shock and disgust the actor displayed on his
face when he heard that the reporter had used Wikipedia as his source of
information
[https://netflixjunkie.com/using-wikipedia-as-your-source-of-information-henry-cavill-disapproves/].
He simply could not believe it and even asked the reporter, all flabbergasted,
“You’re using Wikipedia as your sorce of information?”

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
