Henry Cavill has saved several lives on the screen playing iconic roles like Superman and Geralt. However, in real life, the actor himself believes not all heroes wear capes, some just have furry paws. He has talked about his dog Kal in many interviews and how important he has been in his life. For the British superstar, his canine companion has been a savior who preserved his mental health during the most traumatic phases of life. Despite sharing a close bond with his dog, he did not like this one thing about him.

In an interview previously, Cavill opened up about this one flaw in his soul’s guardian.

Henry Cavill was not a fan of this thing about Kal

In 2018, Kal appeared in a video showcasing Henry Cavill’s Men’s Journal photo shoot. In the clip, the former Superman first expressed his admiration for the dog, calling him his best friend. However, it was Kal’s stubbornness that always irked the actor. “He drags a lot of attention away from me, which is excellent,” he added.

The Enola Holmes star also revealed that he takes his beloved dog everywhere he goes. According to him, Kal brings light to his life and so he goes with him on the sets, too. In fact, he was always around when he used to shoot his Netflix show, The Witcher. But the actor had to keep him in the trailer because he jumped on people whenever he saw a sword fight.

While Kal has continued to be his partner on sets and at home, the 40-year-old had to say goodbye to his other pet, Meet, whom he shared with his girlfriend Natalie Viscuso.

The Argylle star penned a heartfelt tribute to Meet

In August 2023, Henry Cavill shared an emotional note mourning Meat’s loss. In the Instagram post, he recalled all the adventures and fun he had with the dog over his life of 14 and a half years. The Immortals star showcased his love for the furry buddy and talked about coping with the hole his death left in his and Viscuso’s heart. While the couple said goodbye to him, they also welcomed another friend into their lives.

The duo brought home a puppy named Baggins and likes to spend time with him on his free days. His love for dogs does not end here, and he has even built dog houses. Meanwhile, Cavill playfully engages with his fans who also love dogs. He has even been the subject of hilarious TikTok videos with dogs obsessed with him, like the famous Rory the Frenchie who stares longingly at his picture on TV.
