Also Henry was obsessed with World of Warcraft At one point too which is why Boston mentioned Warcraft (he got mixed up).
Cavill is also a huge video game nerd, outside of people who had seen the tv show the Tudors and other stuff henhad been in like the Count of Monte Cristo(he played the son) a Hollywood acting like he was some almost.unknown actor when he got hired for Superman so if you watch interviews from the press stuff for.Man of Steel the first time he played superman he got a lot of "who are you" type questions about his past because it was the first time he had done one of those huge press tours as the lead actor. He was interviewed by Norton with Russel Crowe for that film and a couple cool tidbits Henry mentioned about his life
He was a.nerdy and kind of fat kid growing up, to the point that his nickname in school was Fat Cavill. taking up Rugby as a teenager lead to him getting in better shape.
He is not from the British mainland but from the Isle of Jersey on the English Channel.
He was a extra in the movie Proof of life as a teenager and met Russel Crowe for the firet time then. The film used the school he was attending at the time as the location where Crowe's character(a ex SAS trooper who runs a private security company) goes to visit his son and Cavil asked Crowe for advice on becoming an actor.
He would rush off set when the day wrapped filming the Tudors (where he played Charles Brandon, best friend and brother in law of Henry VIII) to play World of Warcraft, Dawn of War games the Witcher 1 and 2. Ended up reading the Witcher books and getting both heavily into the Witcher and Warhammer.
