Even months after the actor’s exit, the fans have still been demanding to bring back the British actor back to the show. However, one can’t blame the fans, since the way Cavill transformed himself into the character was incredible.

In conversation with Entertainment Tonight Chalotra revealed, “Every time I saw Henry, he was in a white wig, and actually for me, when he wasn’t Geralt … I was shocked at what he looked like.”
