Henry Cavill has played several tough roles in Hollywood, from donning a Kryptonian suit to solving puzzles. While his Geralt of Rivia from Netflix The Witcher became a fan favorite because of the way he portrayed a fearless monster slayer, all these powerful characters the actor embodies have cemented his tough guy image.
Although the 39-year-old star is actually quite a big nerd in real life and has revealed some of his habits in public. Of being a hardcore World of Warcraft raider to painting legions of plastic models, we’ve seen him do many things. Fans have always loved his nerdy side as much as his acting skills. When Graham Norton tried to shame Henry Cavill for his obsession with Warhammer, fans were undeterred.
Graham Norton once teased Henry Cavill about his nerdy hobbies
At a performance on The Graham Norton Show, Henry Cavill was bumped off by the host for his nerdy hobbies. In the interview, Norton pointed out one of his many hobbies, painting Warhammer. Norton tried to toast the British actor for playing with toys by asking, “Do you invite people over?”
In his answer, the Enola Holmes 2 star responded positively, calling his hobby fun before sharing how he loves it.

Tom Holland also showed his support for the fellow actor by raising his hand and asking “Can I come over and play? It sounds amazing.”
Fans weren’t happy with Norton’s “Roast.”
After fans watched the episode where the host made fun of them man of Steel star for his hobby. They took to social media and defended their beloved actor. A fan posted, “You can never humiliate Henry. The man is a Chad. He can get away with anything.” While many others took to Twitter to justify him as they didn’t like what Norton said.
I just saw this clip of Henry Cavill talking to Graham Norton about Warhammer. And on the one hand, everyone had a lot of fun. On the other hand, I winced to see Norts mockingly treating Henry’s hobby (in front of an audience) for having had the same conversation 1000 times.

Strange approach by Graham Norton considering Games Workshop is worth billions. Presumably Monopoly and Scrabble are considered acceptable, but tabletop games need a laugh? Either way, Henry Cavill is a legend. https://t.co/oeSSxbrm7W

Yes, I was in the same mood, but the highlight was Tom Holland’s “It sounds amazing!!”. Now I’m imagining Cavill inviting him over to show off his stuff and give him a demo.

Although Norton decided to giggle and "toy soldiers" Cavill played it like a gentleman.

I found Norton’s response as predictable and cheap as I suspect many of us would, but was gratified by Tom Holland’s enthusiasm, perhaps diluting Norton’s smug superiority. Well done Spider-Man.
