Henry Cavill is renowned for his humility and grounded nature. However, a few years ago, his charm could not salvage an interview that went awry. Although Cavill himself was not caught up in the F-bombs dropped that year, his PR certainly took a hit and it was not a good sight to look at. Reflecting on the incident, it is likely not something the actor is proud of since it was truly a lesson of a lifetime. 

Reportedly, the interview lacked the usual star-struck enthusiasm typical of those with Cavill. While it was not the actor’s fault, it clearly highlighted a core lesson in mismanagement by his team.

A celebrity interview is always a cause of thrill for fans as a source of fresh updates, but conducting one is indeed complicated. City A.M.- The Magazine reporter Steve Dinneen recently shared an experience interviewing Henry Cavill in 2016, recounting the challenges he faced. The interview was allegedly tied to the launch of a new handset by a Chinese mobile company that Cavill was endorsing. Although Dinneen was initially allotted a 30-minute slot to interview with the star, mismanagement led the actor's PR team to reduce it. 

First, it was cut down by 10 minutes, and then further reduced to just 5 minutes. Despite the shrinkage, Dinneen tried to make the best of the situation. However, a representative from the phone company repeatedly interrupted, sometimes asking Dinneen to adjust his questions to promote the phone, and other times physically obstructing the interview. Frustrated, Dinneen eventually stormed out, unleashing a string of F-bombs aimed at the individual.

Even though Cavill was not involved directly in the mishaps that followed the interview, there was a separate one that made the actor contemplate his words.

In 2018, amidst the #MeTooMovement's global impact, Henry Cavill's remarks to The Sun sparked intense debate. In the interview, he described himself as someone who appreciates traditional courtship. However, in the wake of the movement's significance, he expressed hesitation about engaging in flirtation for fear of misinterpretation.

Later, in an interview with GQ Australia, Cavill apologized, reflecting on the flurry of backlashes he had confronted since. “I would just like to clarify and confirm to all that I have always and will continue to hold women in the highest of regard”, said Cavill while waving the flag of support for the movement. Although Cavill understood the gravity of the interview that went wrong, for the reporter of City A.M.- The Magazine, the issue never met the middle ground.
