And that is exactly what happened back in 2018 when the rumor mill started churning out speculation after speculation.

After The Witcher star, Henry Cavill and Vanessa Kirby, The Crown, wrapped up a movie they were in, the costars went on an interview together that some may have taken a little too far.

Back in 2018, Henry Cavill and Vanessa Kirby worked together on the film, Mission Impossible: Fallout. And once shooting was wrapped up, the stars hit the promotion circuit to promote their upcoming film. But during an interview with E! Insider, people believed that they had caught the moment where Kirby was ready to risk it all while watching Henry Cavill talk about the movie.

But just like with the Stranger Things co-stars, Dacre Montgomery and Natalia Dyer, where the former was speculated to have stared at the latter, the simple gesture of Vanessa Kirby looking at her costar, was taken to mean that she was attracted to Henry Cavill. And even if that was not the case who could really blame her? But instead of giving the actress the benefit of the doubt, social media began spinning the narrative that she was “checking out” Cavill.
