The beauty of the first pay cheque is one that transcends boundaries in ways music can only dream of. The first pay cheque irrespective of its size serves as the best of both worlds. This is especially true in the case of actors that go through phases of rejection and a never-ending loop of conundrum about their occupation. This was the case with Henry Cavill as he met a series of downfalls before ultimately rising to prominence as Superman, making his first paycheque all the more significant.

The tale of Cavill’s first pay cheque and how he spent it did not make it to the public until he was signed perhaps his biggest pay cheque. While promoting Mission: Impossible-Fallout, he appeared on Graham Norton’s talk show alongside Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, and Rebecca Ferguson in 2018. To this day, Rebecca Ferguson still remembers it as one of the most embarrassing memories.

Rebecca Ferguson recalls her shared embarrassment with Henry Cavill

Mission Impossible would not have become the magnet of big box office collection numbers had it not been for its cast. An irreplaceable part of which are Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson, who got to relive their most embarrassing moment with Henry Cavill while promoting Mission: Impossible- Dead: Reckoning -Part I. When asked what was their first big purchase by Joe.co.uk, Ferguson could not help but remember the time when she, Henry Cavill, and Simon Pegg all found themselves feeling small as Tom Cruise revealed he paid for his sister’s education with his first paycheque.

The interview in question is the iconic 2018 interview the Mission: Impossible- Fallout cast gave on the Graham Norton Show. As Tom Cruise when last with his thoughtful spending, the actors to this day feel “set up” by the host. Rightfully so as the ever humble Cavill revealed his $1 Million car purchase.

As Rebecca Ferguson remembered the actor during Mission: Impossible- Dead: Reckoning -Part I promotions, it led to a hint of hope that Henry Cavill might return.

Is Cavill returning to the Mission: Impossible franchise?

Dead: Reckoning Part I has been provided one of the best circumstantial marketing with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA. But with a Part II set to release next year, there is more the movie needs to keep the audiences intrigued up until next year. Something like a Henry Cavill comeback.

While it would be quite a challenge given how his character died the last time, the actor himself has said the concept of death is not quite one-dimensional in movies. Especially one that has Tom Cruise at the brink of it in every movie. With Christopher McQuarrie also hinting at the resurgence of an old character, Cavill may finally find his first comeback after a series of exits.
