One of the most popular actors on the planet right now, Superman himself Mr Henry Cavill has said in an interview that the actor prefers gaming at his home in peace rather than having loads of fame and having to act.
Henry Cavill In The Witcher
Apart from the iconic Superman, Cavill has now done another role as Geralt in Netflix‘s series “The Witcher“. Many people including myself loved the casting, Cavill acted the role perfectly and it seems like his love for gaming did a lot for him.
Not only acting. Henry Cavill revealed that he has played, CD Projekt Red’s 100-hour role-playing game the “Witcher 3” epic two-and-a-half times to completion. He says he has experimented with different difficulty levels to find the perfect balance to enjoy the game to the fullest.
He mentioned that he was using the game as an escape, but when he reached a certain difficulty level it was no longer chilling for him.
“I realized I wasn’t chilling out. I just ended up dying at the wrong points and thinking, ‘I should not have left the roads. I don’t know why I left the roads.’ I couldn’t run away fast enough or my attention span dropped for a second or I answered a text and now I’m dead and that’s six or seven hours of gameplay that I’ve just messed up.”

Now, while acting Cavill revealed that it was very important to him that the character was played accurately and the lore was good. He wanted to portray the character with the love that he had from playing the game.
“I wanted to do it as true to the lore as possible. For me it was about bringing my love for the character to the show, as a fan – I want to protect it. It would’ve hurt my heart to hear there was a show that I didn’t jump on, [especially] if someone else had a unique and perhaps even brilliant interpretation of Geralt, but one not who I, as a fan, sees.”

We can see how much he deeply cared about the character. But it is not only about the Witcher. Cavill loves gaming in general, so much so that he prefers it over acting and going outside.
Henry Cavill Loves Gaming
In an interview, Henry Cavill said that he would prefer to stay at his home and play games all day rather than go outside. He mentioned he would like to play “Total War: Warhammer II” Even though he has completed the game almost 6 times, he will still enjoy it.
“Every time I step out my front door, I’m hyper aware. Even if I’m not looking terrible, you still realise there are people taking sneaky photos of you, because that’s what people like to do. And then they put them on the internet and you see them on Instagram and you’re like, ‘Oh, my God.’”
“At home, I get to sit playing games for ridiculous amounts of hours and escape there, because going outside has the opposite effect.”

He mentioned that he is like possessed by gaming since he was old enough to sit at a computer. Then his love for the deed has only evolved to be greater than ever.
