Given how the actor has mostly done roles that give him a direct pass in the “macho man” line, every Henry Cavill interview turns out to be surprising. Talking to Cavill is very much like opening a book. As a matter of fact, Henry Cavill loves doing. The Superman actor loves reading and has expressed his love for books more precisely fantasy books, in countless interviews.

Before being cast as the man of steel, the actor was but only a fan of the DC comics. And his reaction to finding out that had gotten the Superman is geek behavior at its finest.

The actor was even asked about his geeky habits on the Graham Norton show, and Cavill did nothing but fuel the fire with his Warhammer stories. Here are some of the best Henry Cavill moments where he represented peek geek behavior.

The time Henry Cavill almost lost Superman

During his 2016 interview, which he attended with his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice co-star Ben Affleck, Cavill told Conan O’Brien that he almost lost Superman. Fear not, because it was for a good cause. Cavill revealed that he was playing World of WarCraft when the phone started ringing. And he did not want to get up because it was an important part.

It was only at the last moment that he saw that the call was from Zack Snyder. But the call had ended. Thankfully, Snyder picked up the second time Cavill called and believed his “I was saving someone’s life” story.

How Cavill saved The Witcher series?

Now, there are many reasons which prove that The Witcher‘s massive popularity aligns perfectly with the fact that Cavill was playing Geralt of Rivia. When makers first came out with a trailer for the Netflix series, gamers were not having it. It was only through the actor yapping off about details hidden deep in The Witcher books that only a true fan would know, that people gave it a shot.

When an interviewer asked Cavill what he thinks of the haters, he blew us away by actually siding with them. He reasoned that The Witcher is something people are very passionate about, and the criticism will only make the series better.

When he could not trust Wikipedia

A moment from Henry Cavill’s interview that would go on to become viral is his “WIKIPEDIA?” Fans loved the sheer shock and disgust the actor displayed on his face when he heard that the reporter had used Wikipedia as his source of information. He simply could not believe it and even asked the reporter, all flabbergasted, “You’re using Wikipedia as your sorce of information?”

The actor has given us a sea of geeky moments in his career, but these are the best ones. Let us know in the comments below which Henry Cavill geek moment is your favorite.
