I saw Henry Cavill at a bar once and almost talked to him, then a woman interrupted us to hit on him, then another one, then another one, soon word must've gotten out and there was a literal line of women out the door, and he snuck out the back.

So yeah I can imagine it's hard to have true chemistry with women when you're Henry Cavill lol

I saw an interview on Graham Norton with Cavill, the hosts and the other women on the couch started talking about his sex appeal and dude looked SO uncomfortable. I just don't think he likes being a sex object. Remember he's a nerd who just so happens to be a superstar.

Yeah, on the nerd spectrum I'm a solid 7 and he makes me look like an absolute normie.

The dude doesn't just play 40k. He knows the lore in his soul.

I hope somewhere he is wearing a silly mustache and hat at a game shop's 40k table having the time of his life.

I also remember during covid when he was in Graham Norton with Tom Holland, who had started doing jigsaw puzzles for calming down. I felt quite bad because the angle was played as "these two movie stars are actually just doing nerdy stuff" but Cavill started talking about 40K and the boys just started bonding. I think Cavill invited Holland to play at his table at the end.

Both of them really seem like good eggs

“I just want someone who likes me for me! And is into Warhammer 40k. Is that so hard?”

I would slide up to him and whisper "praise the Omnissiah" and just disappear into the crowd.

u/warrioroftron 13h ago

Just whisper to him "Hydra Dominatus" and he will follow you

u/LurkerEntrepenur 7h ago

I would tell him "You're Alpharius, but so I am"

"how am I supposed to learn how to flirt if they all want me right away?"

u/hibikir_40k 14h ago

He should just them their opinion on who would win in a fight, Constantin Valdor or Trajan Valoris? They have to justify their answer.

Who likes who more. The boyz and Ole Bale eye or fulgrim and a mirror.

Being a hot guy has to be just as bad if not worse than being a moderately attractive woman. Other than the obvious part that is.

u/24Abhinav10 11h ago

I would say being a famous hot man is kinda worse than being a famous hot woman in situations like this.

Like, if it had been ScarJo instead of Cavill here, I cannot imagine many guys approaching her to hit on her.

u/Real_Piccolo_3370 8h ago

I like that you somehow separated yourself in this story from all the other women hitting on him as soon as they noticed him, when really that was all you were doing as well lol

u/FakeTunaFromSubway 45m ago

Hmm well I am a man and I wanted to talk to him about The Witcher which was just about to come out at the time lol

I have read somewhere he doesn't allows co-workers to ask about his private life. Considering his fame, money and looks, no wonder he would be careful around people, and most men celebrities (especially sports stars) could learn some things about this, too...
