In a world where stereotypes tend to dictate an individual’s perceptions, Henry Cavill once chose to shatter those expectations. While the actor might be known for his role as DC’s Superman and Netflix’s Witcher, the actor made waves back in 2015, not for his on-screen heroics, but for his choice of beverage instead. Although fans had expected the star to enjoy a good cup of tea, he had another option in mind.

Like most of the young actors, Cavill also seemed to prefer a night out with the boys and another one of Britain’s favorite beverages to a cuppa.

Henry Cavill revealed his go-to beverage

Back in 2015, Henry Cavill made his way to the BAFTA awards. While the actor had not been nominated that year, he still made sure to attend the esteemed event. At the awards show, he had a quick interview with The Anglophile Channel. During the conversation, the now 40-year-old had revealed that he would choose to throw a beer back at a pub rather than have a quiet afternoon cup of tea.

While not every Brit agreed with Cavill, there is no doubt that he set aside the age-old British stereotype of tea drinkers. However, the actor may not have been too pleased that he gave that information away, as just months later it became a problem for him. Although he was in the spotlight for his roles, the Man of Steel star preferred to keep his private life out of tabloids.

Earning a spot on Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel may have shot Cavill to fame. However, the actor ended up revealing that there was a dark side to the flashy lights of Hollywood.

A few years after Henry Cavill shared his take on the age-old British question; beer or tea, the actor ended up discussing the cons of being a celebrity in the spotlight. The actor shared that when fans would come up to him at a pub with his friends for a picture, he would just freeze. Although he may have enjoyed what he did, there were a few things that came along with the fame that the star could not adjust to.

Apart from the paparazzi and public attention, the actor seemed content with how everything else seemed to be panning out. However, he also shed some light on his journey from a regular television star to becoming a Hollywood fan-favorite. The path to success might have taken Cavill a while, but he still managed to hold on and pull through.
