Henry Cavill Fans Defend His Warhammer Hobby After It Was Mocked

Fans have come to the defense of The Witcher star Henry Cavill after his hobby of collecting Warhammer miniatures was poked fun at in a TV appearance. The actor is known for his roles of Superman in the DCEU and Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix fantasy series. Cavill will return to the world of The Witcher when season 2 releases on December 17.

Cavill has become beloved for his portrayals of characters such as Clark Kent and Geralt, with the actor himself often being seen as passionate about the characters he portrays and the properties he brings to life. Fellow cast and crew members of The Witcher have spoken about his passion for the fantasy series on-set, with co-star Freya Allen comparing him to a “Witcher bible.” With the actor being so open about his hobbies and interests like gaming and collecting Warhammer miniatures, many interviewers have asked him about them, such as his recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show to promote the upcoming season. However, many fans of the actor have taken issue with the TV host’s attitude to Cavill’s hobby.

As reported by Metro, fans took to Twitter to discuss Cavill’s recent appearance on the British talk show, criticizing Graham Norton for taking a mocking and deriding approach to the actor’s hobby. One user called Norton’s comments unwarranted, while others said the host’s comments were an “incredibly distasteful way to talk about someone’s hobby on a televised show.” Fans also said that Norton should simply let Cavill and others enjoy the hobbies that bring them joy.

Cavill has earned plenty of admiration from fans for openly sharing and talking about his hobbies. In July 2020, Cavill took to Instagram and shared a video of him assembling a gaming PC that has since earned over 6 million views and 1 million likes. The actor had previously discussed his gaming preferences, saying that he preferred playing on a PC rather than consoles such as Xbox or Playstation, with his father getting him invested in the hobby as a child.

This isn’t the first time fans have criticized Norton’s mocking approach to hobbies and fandom, with many having previously taken issue with the host poking fun at pieces of fanart when guests such as Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, and Tom Hiddleston had appeared on the show. With fandom culture becoming more present in most people’s daily lives and once-geekier interests becoming mainstream, Norton’s jabs feel rude and dated, pulling from old stereotypes and cliches. In recent years, it’s been seen that fans admire stars when they’ve been open about their interests, so it is always welcome to see fans defend and support Cavill’s passions for Warhammer miniatures and The Witcher.
