Henry Cavill is a proud nerd and Graham Norton once tried to shame the actor over Warhammer and Cavill fans didn&#039;t let it slide.

Remember When Graham Norton Tried to Shame Henry Cavill Over His Obsession With Warhammer and Fans Didn’t Take It Lightly?

Henry Cavill has played several badass roles in Hollywood, from donning a
Kryptonian suit to solving mysteries. While his Geralt of Rivia from Netflix’s
The Witcher became a fan favorite for the way he portrayed a fearless monster
slayer, all these mighty characters embodied by the actor have established his
image as a tough guy.



Although the 39-year-old star actually is a pretty big nerd in real life and has
revealed some of his habits in public. From being a hardcore World of Warcraft
raider to painting legions of plastic models, we have seen him do many things.
Fans have always loved his nerdy side as much as they love his acting chops.
That’s why when Graham Norton tried to shame Henry Cavill
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill] over his obsession with Warhammer,
fans did not let it slide. 


GRAHAM NORTON ONCE TEASED HENRY CAVILL FOR HIS NERDY HOBBIES

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Henry Cavill was poked by the
host for his nerdy hobbies. In the interview, Norton pointed out one of his many
hobbies of painting Warhammer. Norton tried to roast the British actor for
playing with toys by asking, “do you invite people over?”



In his response, the Enola Holmes 2 star replied positively and called his hobby
fun before sharing how he loves to do it.

Tom Holland also showed his support to the fellow actor by raising his hand and
asking “Can I come over and play? It sounds amazing.” 


FANS WERE NOT PLEASED WITH NORTON’S “ROAST”

After fans watched the episode where the host ridiculed the Man of Steel star
for his hobby. They took it on social media and defended their beloved actor.
One fan posted, “You can never humiliate Henry. The man is a chad. He can get
away with anything.” While many others came forward to justify him on Twitter as
they didn’t like Norton’s remarks.
