What a man. Henry Cavill is such a sweetheart. He’s gorgeous and intellectual. I’d love to just talk to him for hours on end and I’d never be bored.
9:54 Sharing the knowledge of Arcane is actually an amazing gift!
Books; all the halo books
Such a good interviewer. Finally war hammer is brought up and not instantly mocked.
What...The fuck was that music choice during those intro scenes?
Did not mix well with the show at all.
Ciri - "We can go to Skellige, I have people there and will be safe"
Geralt - "No, too many side-quests, we'll get distracted"
That gave me a chuckle, I literally swam from island to island exploring but never finished all the Skellige side quests...
Me after finishing all the side quests in Skellige: It's been 84 years👴🏽
@@domokun845 why did you swim?
@@TheDennys21 Just for the hell of it really to see how far I could get lol
@@domokun845 but why swim when there are boats?
The fact that they got someone who’s actually a fan of the games and the books to play Geralt makes me so happy. He did Geralt justice
Thanks Darling
How are you doing
@@henrycavill2225 lmfao
Actually Henry Canvil himself insisted to play the role.
Reminds me of the actor who played Roose Bolton in GoT had no idea what was going on, what he was saying and was horrified at burning his daughter in the script 😭😭
This is the first Henry Cavill interview I have seen where the interviewer didn't make him uncomfortable. So many interviewers are so focused on his physical atributes that they forget that for Henry, the CHARACTER is the big picture. He's well-read, intelligent, has deep and well-loved hobbies, and is absolutely chuffed to talk about them. Yet interviewers, especially female ones, seem to always creep on him, which makes him visibly uncomfortable. WELL DONE THIS GUY.
Those same interviewers have also done interviews where they fault men for exactly the same behaviour, which is just BEYOND hilarious to me
Ali Plumb is an amazing interviewer. He seems to effortlessly get on with everyone. I always enjoy his interviews!
I've seen other interviews with this guy and he always seems to do a pretty good job.
I totally agree with you ... he is just talking about what he loves! Not all the sexual innuendo with other interviewers.
I totally agree- it’s uncomfortable to watch too
This is by far the interview with Henry Cavill, where he looks the most at ease and comfortable. Clearly he recognizes the interviewer as a fellow "nerd", and the interviewer is doing such a good job as well. He is so into it, and so interested in what Henrys answers will be. Best interview ever :D
Great interview
Thought the same. It can be even painful to watch some interviews. Glad this one was such appositive surprise :)
I gotta say this is one of the few interviews in which the interviewer avoids eye contact. I am quite surprised. He must be a huge Henry Cavill fan 😅
@flashfair I was wondering about that. Does Cavill have a thing about eye contact?
@@michaelh9649 I don't think he does but let's be real everyone stares at him like he is meat!! Maybe this interviewer though he would make him more comfortable by not staring at him.
God Ali must be the best interviewer ever, his questions and responses are so natural and he's genuinely interested in the actors stories
Ali ‘look at this meme from Facebook’ plum
Zeus maybe 👆🤡
Him, Josh Horowitz, and Sean Evans are my most respected interviewers
Sean from Hot Ones is.
Henry must get a 40k movie going.
up there with Sean Evans from Hot Ones!
Finally a worthy Interviewer for Henry Cavill. The dude is filled with knowledge.
He also seems so natural and comfortable to talk to, need more of him
Ali Plumb is the most superb interviewer ever
I'm just happy he isn't gushing over Henry's body. The dude is a huge geek, I'm glad he is focusing on that.
Yes! him and I want to see Henry on Hot Ones. Sean does incredible research and asks just the right questions.
@@MRetoastet oh lord henry on cold ones would be awesome! sean is defo up there with ali in terms of the interviewers that do their research and manage to make their guests feel like friends of the show in the best way possible
'I am incredibly fond of this character. And I will fight tooth and nail for him and to do him justice.' His determination and the respect for the original character is unparalleled. And now he is gone for good. Imagine the atrocities and the butchery that the show-runner and the writers must have committed to the story that caused him to step down from this role, despite his deep devotion to the books and the original character.
WHAAAAT? Why is he gone? Henry won't be the Witcher in the next season? Its a joke? 😭
@@luminaratano3935 its all over the internet. Henry is in season 3 and from season 4 onwards Liam Hemsworth takes over.
dont know much about this series , but i dont think he couldve defeated the SJW cult
You don't need to imagine anything, just watch how they've been fucking up basically everything about The Witcher from the start...
@@CZcamssaysimCyberbullywhat does that have to do with anything
This is probably one of Henry's best interviews... He was actually given time to talk about some of the subjects he liked. Also impressed with his knowledge of fantasy books. Just straight away... Got them all down...
Henry Cavill is a generational actor and a gem of a man
He's so refreshingly polite and utterly lacking of ego.
looks like rain
GigaChad
What does that even mean
Wind's howling
I can't imagine a world where Henry isn't Geralt. He is so passionate about The Witcher and perfectly nails the role. I cannot wait for season 3!
He is brilliant. Show is great, books and games are better, but no one could do a better Geralt.
Right. I was like who else could do that? He is Geralt.
And yet he is barely in the episodes.
Yes, he is Geralt ❤️
Agreed!
“I finished another play through of the Witcher” what an absolute man of culture
Thanks for your continuous love and support Donnie ❤❤
How long have you been a fan of mine??
Smashing interview! Very interesting questions. Straight to the point. Henry Cavill is a cracking story teller, very shrewd, intelligent and he is a man of culture and highly educated. It's delightfull listening to him. He's comfortable in this interview and happy in his environment the Witcher world, a great epic saga. HC is truthfull to the story as a fan of Andrzej Sapkowski's books and the video games. He knows the plot better than anyone, giving his heart, body and soul to the this series🎉 No one compares to Henry Cavill playing Geralt of Rivia. He's top notch😊
Henry Cavill is just such a sympathetic person. He is prove that nerds can be "normal", good looking an not delusional. The way he respects all his coworkers is heart warming.
You know having literally just watched a compilation of people fawning over Henry and just how awkward and uncomfortable this poor man was it's refreshing to see an interviewer genuinely asking him questions about his work, himself, his interests and providing interesting feedback. Allowing Cavill to just be himself to a degree and nerd out.
You can tell his cast members die a little inside when he's asked how he became interested in the Witcher for the millionth time lol.
@@jhandle900 You aren't wrong. I swear there is eye rolls and groans every time. haha
Exactly. I also just came from that compilation and needed a palate cleanser. Actors aren’t pieces of meat and I wish interviewers would realise that. Ask intelligent questions
Same rabbit hole to here as well
My man recommended Arcane to Henry Cavill like a couple of Fantasy connoisseurs having a chat. Next time you interview him you gotta ask him the same question again, I'd love to hear his thoughts on the show.
That's Ali for you, comes prepared or doesn't come at all.
@@Jadorelainie to be fair he's right, henry cavill would totally fit as a voice actor in arcane
@@aminekakla10 Henry watched Arcane after this. Henry recommended Arcane to another interviewer Josh Horowitz (you can see Josh's tweet).
And yeah I can picture Henry being Darius or Aatrox
@@abdurrafi1430 oh i didnt know that and i actually pictured him as darius too
@@abdurrafi1430 For anyone too lazy to see the tweet Abdur is talking about:
"Funny story: spent some time with Mr. Cavill last week. We exchanged a bunch of geeky tv/film recommendations. He ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommended ARCANE. So methinks your recommendation worked, Ali!"
I love that Henry has started to become more open and proud about how much he loves his hobbies and how cool they are. It's nice to live in a time where tabletop gaming and the likes are starting to not be considered only for weirdos living in their moms basement, when respected celebs like him are bringing them to the light. It's also very clear that he is a fan of that stuff and not just pretending so that he can gain favor from fans. It would be a pleasure to play D&D with henry
It would be a pleasure to immagine a D&D session with all the members of the witcher cast 😂😆
Critical Role and Henry crossover please. Cavill Role.
Agreed. When he did Graham Norton and Graham was very clearly making fun of him and subtlety belittling him for being a nerd. I hated that.
@@gregsouch Graham Norton pisses me off on another level. Whoever gave that guy free reign to interview and act however tf he pleases is a complete imbecile.i can't stand the guy.
When they mentioned Warhammer i thought they were talking about the MMO. Then i realised he meant the figurines. He actually plays Warcraft.
You can tell Henry liked this interview, because the interviewer really leveled with him and he understood the material a bit more than the usual interviewer
Thanks for your continuous love and support Clancy ❤❤
How long have you been a fan of mine??
For anyone wondering about the books Henry was recommending:
1. Anything by Raymond E. Feist - a massive world with all sorts of interconnecting stories and storylines; that’s a really fun one to get into because then you’ve got years of reading.
2. Anything by David Gemmell - some interconnected worlds, but more separated.
3. Anything by Brandon Sanderson - an incredible job with „The Stormlight Archive”; for people looking for a good read out there with some beautiful messaging as well and an entirely unique fantasy world.
4. And obviously Robert Jordan’s „The Wheel of Time”.
Also Brandon Sanderson finished Wheel of Time after Robert Jordan passed away!
Thanks for that - exactly what I was looking for
Thank you so much.My mind was saying”Henry wait,wait your going to fast.”
I thought it was 3 books titled "Anything"
can someone like so i can remember to come back
Update: Henry actually watched Arcane and he liked it so much that he started recommending it enthusiastically to everyone. According to another interviewer who met Henry.
If you don’t mind me asking, do you remember the interview
@@aidantheeofficial1897It is Q&A live witcher stream on IGN. The host name is Josh Horowitz you can read his tweets, he only tweeted about this Henry/Arcane moment but it wasn't in the interview.
@@jojo1cool oh ok thanks
Thank you so much for the update!
I mean, Arcane is just a genuinely great show, regardless of wheter you like video games or not.
Henry really is a class gent. His passion for the whole genre is palpable.
His answer at 3:49 means so much now that he left it’s crazy
ya the cracks were already showing
He was really sad when answering that question
LEt me just make it clear, Henry is still doing season 3 right?
@@MaverickZ007 yes
hearing him say , "I will fight tooth and nail for him" makes it a bit more clear what exactly happened to the series. Probably I a lot of things in the source material or game Henry suggested to be adhered to, but never was. Unfortunate the writers couldn't make a better adaptation.
I like that Henry sets himself as the tip of the spear when it comes to talking about a character. He's the person we see, but he represents the work of legions behind the scenes (mentioning the stylists, and fight team etc).
As it should be, Wish more celebs were as humble and down to earth as he is.
thanks Adan
He names everyone mentioned!! So awesome
Henry exudes a passion, understanding and genuine love for his interests/hobbies that just can't be faked. We need more actors like him.
And yet Witcher season 2 is just an insult to any Witcher book/game fan
YEP YEP AND YRREP
@@goochipoochie And yet stop watching and go read and play, instead of whining on internet:) I enjoyed the sht out of it, better than 1st season and my plan is to play and read one time xD You cant take away my pleasure!
@@goochipoochie He's not the showrunner.
@@goochipoochie how so? As an outsider, i thought it was frigging brilliant
Interviewer: "You're Geralt of Rivia"
Henry: "Hmm"
Guess you're not wrong there
Every time I see Henry in interviews I like him more and more. He's just a cool guy that happens to be a celebrity. The fact that he's a fan of Brandon Sanderson is just a cherry on top. If/when there is an adaptation of Stormlight Archive Henry needs a role.
Thanks Fans
I could see henry playing or voicing Dalinar.
Yeah
I think it'd be interesting if Henry Cavill played Amaram.
I see him as either Adolin or Kaladin, he would also make an excellent Kelsier
Henry's doing the same thing for Warhammer that he did for the Witcher. Talking about it in interviews to show how interested he and his fans are for him to have the role. Good for him.
Henry as Karl Franz. Summon the Elector Counts, Netflix!
@@666MetalMatt NO, Henry as Emperor in unification Wars
Maybe Gregor Eisenhorn when Henry Cavill is a bit older. Everyone always says he would be a good Constantine Valdor.
@@SuperCyberStriker The emperor is to distant/detached from the stories to be a main character. Plus he doesn’t have a fixed form which can be represented like Jaqen H'ghar the faceless man in game of thrones.
He could absolutely pull off The Emperor
So crazy just how on point Henry’s voice is when he’s playing Geralt
Henry is such a humble and giving actor. I loved how he named the artists who helped him get into his wig. That man is all class.
how could he not be the first choice is mindboggling. He carries the show both in his swordplay and the way he portrays geralt perfectly since he's a fan of the game.
Now THAT is how you interview Henry Cavill!
No marvelling at the fact that he is a nerd and builds his own PC but instead get into topics he is into.
Thanks Ali Plumb for this awesome piece.
Such a refreshingly good interview. Quiet, respectful, wholesome. Wish we got more like this.
'I am incredibly fond of this (Geralt) character. And I would fight tooth and nail. To do him justice." (for fans of the books, games, as well as show). I wish more celebrity actors had this dedication to their characters, not just the show scripts.
Henry Cavill is such a gentle, kind soul. What a legend! I hope he gets to play Superman again
I’ll say it time and time again, Ali is my favourite interviewer. Always excellent questions and makes the guest feel so welcome/comfortable, also Henry’s an absolute gem. This was great!
Agreed. I was waiting for this interview. Amazing work.
He even geeks out but plays it cool and isn't annoying about it
Apart from when he accidently insulted Matt Smith 😅
Well it would have been better if the interviewer made eye contact with Henry. It's really irritating when interviewers keep looking at the floor. Good questions but shit interaction.
3:48 the way Cavills expression changed during this question and the answer just speaks the truth. Henry, I have the most respect for you for standing on our (the Witcher fans) side. Thank you, you did all you could and what you did was great. We’ll support you going forward 👏🏻
Man Henry Cavill never misses a chance to lift up a cast-member, be it another fellow actor on the screen or someone working behind the camera. This guy is amazing!
*Henry Cavil is like the GIGA CHAD of the nerds and I respect him immensely.* I want to be like Henry when I grow up I say as a man in his mid 20s no longer a child.
1000% this lol we used to have a lot more role models like this, Henry is an amazing person to look up to and want to emulate
He seems like a nice person, pleasant to be around, and like he enjoys his hobbies unapologetically. There are worse people to emulate
Time to plan your workout schedule and how to maintain discipline.
I FOUND U KIRYU-CHAN
why be someone else when you could just be yourself? I know, wild take
When you think you couldn't like this guy more, he just mentions Feist and Gemmell.. you're a legend Henry... much like Druss..
He also reads Sanderson.
I was so excited when he mentioned Feist!! - that was my introduction to fantasy and still holds a very high bar for me.
David Gemmell :( Wished he was still around
@@Tristana.Keauna Be still my beating heart!! When he mentioned Feist, he brought back so much nostalgia. The Magician is one of my all time favourite books
@@fattysl26 The entire Riftwar Saga is one of my all time favorites to read, I read it like 4 or 5 times allready, now I'm gonna check out Sanderson.
I hope this man plays Bond as well, this guy is truly dedicated to his roles.
Honestly I hope he doesn't. He has the looks and the charisma, but his personality is almost the antithetical to Bond. I can see the appeal, but I don't feel Bond is good for him... Even if having him would be good for the Bond Franchise.
Bond movies are just bland action movies. Cavill got the charisma for it, but they are not worthy of his talent. I rather see him making high quality movies.
This is a unique example of how an intelligent interviewer can bring out the brilliance and passion in someone, when they motivate them to talk about what they truly know and love. What a jewel of an interview, in just 12.5 minutes.
Smile
Henry is living the dream. Acting out as some of his favorite characters and making enough money to have a Warhammer army.
LOL. And even then he plays Custodes. That acting money will only get you 10 minis a couple of bikes.
Henry is hands down the perfect Geralt, him being so enthusiastic about the show and the books itself is amazing
Nope, he is good for many reason but far too big and bulky for a Witcher and especially Gerald. There is even something in the books about it that Witcher need to be lean and agile and its not about strength which never really helps in fighting Monsters thanks to the potions. He even mentions that in one Interview, that he is so not the lean Gerald from the books and games.
@@fckprc8149 doesn't change the fact he is a good geralt. Do you really need to follow the books though.
@@fckprc8149 Hate to break it to you, but physical appearance is one of the first things that change in any adaptation, it's nice when someone looks like they lifted right out from the pages of a book, but the actual portrayal of the characters is what matters most.
@@fckprc8149 jerald
@@fckprc8149 he isnt that ripped tbh, not body builder type by any means, just in very good shape. i feel he is an ok fit. anyone larger would be as ridiculous as conan.
This was an incredible interview. Ali did a fantastic job feeding Henry open ended questions and being genuinely interested in his story. It felt like I was watching a conversation between friends and I kept wanting to ask Henry questions myself.
This is the best Cavill interview I have seen! Both seemed so at ease, and the questions were original and produced interesting answers, instead of recycling the same stuff that's been covered before. Wonderful job.
Thank you Kari Esther
@@henrycavill8387 I assume this is a fake account but I actually don't care. I was watching some of his interviews, I'm about the same age as him and grew up in Northern Ireland.
Attending school in Belfast I was by far the geekyist person there and shared a lot of the same passions and hobbies as Henry, but I was also bullied terribly for them. It left me being insular about my passions, I would try to hide all the sci-fi I would watch and read because of how harshly I was judged.
As I became an adult it took time (though studying physics at uni helped me open up), but I was able to relax about these things. Even as a student I felt some weird shame and guilt probably because of all the bullying it entailed. I love the fact that the zeitgeist has moved on such that people actually appreciate these hobbies, find them interesting and show respect. In my thirties I can feel safe to chat about being addicted to Populous etc.
Hearing Henry talk about how he used to shy away from talking about Warhammer but now feels comfortable was heart-warming to hear as I feel like I went through that same experience.
Hello Greetings.....👋
Henry being able to get some actually good questions about the witcher and get comfortable with the nerd shit was probably so refreshing for him.
This man’s personality and work ethic needs to be bottled up and saved for future generations to witness and draw inspiration from.
Yawn..zzzzzzzz
Can I just drink it instead.
thanks for the love and supports...... with the supports of great fans like you, i have been able to attain this great height of mine...... which country are you in?
Hello Greetings....👋
Cavill spoke of the late, great David Gemmell. He is a relatively unknown in the mainstream fantasy world, but perhaps the greatest heroic fantasy author of all time. I'm tremendously thankful that Cavill has introduced potentially millions to this man's work. You're doing yourself a huge disservice by missing out on Gemmell's works and it's a shame he doesn't get more notice by the fantasy community. It's likely most don't know of him. Go buy his Drenai Saga--all of it. Right now.
So, as a newbie to this author’s work, would you have a recommendation as to what to start with? Will I be overwhelmed with too many characters/plot lines/lineages to absorb what’s happening? I hate having to take notes when I read. Hopefully you see this-and thanks!
@@to1620 I would start with Legend. Definitely read the series in publication order. It has been my experience that Gemmell's world has more meaning and impact when you move back and forth in the timeline. After reading the first three books, take a break and read the John Shannow/Jerusalem Man series for a palate-cleanser. It's basically a western/fantasy/sci-fi trilogy. It was my first introduction to Gemmell's work. In fact, according to Gemmell, all of his books exist in the same universe, so there's that. Also, you won't need to take notes at all. I'm ecstatic that you've decided to read DG. Best of luck!
@@noiceman I appreciate your response, and knowledge! Will scout my first book next week. Thank you! (And happy reading!) 📖 📕 📚
As a lifelong Gemmell fan I was so happy to hear him mentioned. Now let's hope that Mr. Cavill uses his influence to get a live-action series made based on some Gemmell books :-)))
(And he himself would be a wonderful young Druss!)
@@spectralboardgamer I'd rather see Cavill as someone like Rek or Tanaka. But honestly, I hope they never get the rights to Gemmell's material. Netflix or Hollywood would just woke-ify it and ruin everything I hold dear.
" I will fight for this character to do it justice " 💯 you are a gem Henry Cavill ❤️ you will always be The true Geralt ✨
Well, kinda like a meme:
- I have a plan guys
- player leaves the game
I enjoyed this because - not only was Henry authentic, but so was Ali Plumb. If he didn't know a thing or two about geeky pursuits, he faked it extremely well!
Nah, Ali is also a genuine geek, you can see it in his interviews (especially when talking to people like Henry)
@@hafizharun1727 Good to hear! ;)
I really hope Henry Cavill starts producing and directing shows and movies. He seems like he is just a huge nerdy fan of this who just wants to really make a great show. Imagine all the Warhammer and other video games or fantasy series they could make.
Yes, would be cool to have him co-direct an episode or 2 of the witcher! Its been done before with other shows! Suits comes in mind with both main actors directing a couple of episodes.
When I first started reading your comment my mind already skipped ahead to what I thought you were going to say... well I was wrong because I was thinking producing... "porn"... hahah 👀🙇🏻♂ whoops
The care and love this man has for the role. How did they drop the ball so massively on this? All he wanted was the character of Geralt and the source material to be respected. I really worry that the future is bleak for the Witcher.
That season 1 fight ruled. I like the fights with people more than monsters because I know I'm seeing something real people trained for and are performing.
Plus the moves were super badass.
I was so skeptical when Henry Cavill was announced to play Geralt but I appreciate him so much now. He is really keeping true to the source material and really loves this world and characters. There is no one who could have played Geralt better and I believe that the show is a success because of him.
Same. So happy I was wrong!
When people connect with the character they are portraying it shows. I think the series would have flopped if Harry had not played Geralt.
I cant believe they nearly didn't cast Henry as Geralt he's perfect for it 😭
Must have been a money thing. They thought "we don't wanna pay Cavill money for this. Let's see if we can find someone as good but cheaper". Then they saw his screen test and they were like "we need to raise the money no matter what. Geralt can only be Cavill".
@@ipuya It might not have been a money thing. People were doubting Henry's emotional range before he was cast. I haven't seen The Witcher but if he proved those people wrong, good for him. Many actors and actresses have to prove to people that their first impressions of them were wrong.
@Shadow M He just doesn't have the physique du role for Geralt. He's too massive.
Oh really
thanks for the love and supports...... with the supports of great fans like you, i have been able to attain this great height of mine...... which country are you in?
loved this interview, the journalist asks meaningful, interesting and respectful questions, he is helping Henry to feel comfortable, and unthreatened by the stereotypical image he is often expected to play outside his roles. Henry looks calm, interesting and authentic. I watched it twice. Good work Ali, as always!
One of the best looking geeks around, I love that he has made it ok for adults to be geeks as it’s often felt only kids should play games and have these types of hobbies. To heck with that.
thanks for the love and supports...... with the supports of great fans like you, i have been able to attain this great height of mine...... which country are you in?
For years i've waited for someone to ask Henry what other fantasy book he would recommend. I can't believe it took this long for someone to finally bring it up. Thank you Ali

Hello Greetings....👋
Henry giving the stunt and hair departments their due is just so cool! What a nice man!
Henry's devotion and stubbornness about keeping the series true to the books is what had me sold. This show kicks ass!
How does Cavill find the time for all of his amazing hobbies, gaming, acting, reading, working out, and doing awesome interviews?
No kids? 😭🥺
@@christinecho779 He didn't even marry...guess that's the secret!
Covid was a gift for him (being stuck at home)
I love the fact that he's into Brandon Sanderson. that guy has been one of my favorite writers for a long time. hearing Henry mention The Stormlight series was really cool.
Right? I was hoping he'd say Stormlight Archives. It's such a good series. Didn't know about Raymond Feist though so I can't wait to check out his books. Just checked audible which is my favorite way to read books at the moment because adhs and such. The recordings thankfully sound great, yay. 🥳
Next Stormlight book will take some time still as will the next Dresden Files one, so I have some time to immerse myself into something new.
Listened to Blake Arthur Peels series Fall of Radiance last month. It's not Sanderson by any means but still nice if you can tolerate that it has a bit more romance and isn't as complex. Same narrator as the Sanderson books for audiobook listeners that helps too I guess haha.
Now listening to the second book of the Alex Verus series. This far I'll say it's a bit Dresden Files light but alright.
Do you (or anyone reading this) have any suggestions for books in that realm of fantasy?
Have a lovely day!
Stormlight and Dresden files… it doesn’t get any better than that!
@@FrolleinMiez Raymond E Feist is awesome start from magicain and try follow the rest from there it's a really good story with good characters. You could try Robin Hobb she Really good as well. Start with the Farseer trilogy
@@FrolleinMiez oh also try Patrick Rothfuss
@@MrTemp85 thank you so much for the suggestions! Putting Robin Hobb on my list right now. Patrick Rothfuss is on it already. I was looking for some input on what to read next for a while. Really glad I found it in this comment section. Who'd have thought haha.
Do you know Melissa McPhail's "A Pattern of Shadow and Light" series? Wanted to check out the first book next maybe.
There couldn’t have been a better actor to be cast as Geralt of Rivia. Cavill is the perfect person to play that role, period!
This may be my favorite Henry interview. He's very comfortable and opening up about geeky stuff, and the interviewer is asking questions I haven't heard before. The "smells like rain" question was awesome - I wonder if the video game actor will see that and hear Henry's thoughts?
"I am incredibly fond of this character and I will fight tooth and nail to do him justice... If that is answer enough"
Oh Henry, my heart 😭
Seriously. I was thinking the same thing.
My heart too 😭 I want a petition for firing the useless writers.
There really couldn't have been a better Geralt of Rivia...
Henry Cavill is up there with Keanu Reeves as some of the most likeable and genuine actors out there.
We’ve got to get this interviewer on hot ones and have him go up against Sean Evans. Epic interview! I love that Cavill gave such an incredible shoutout to Brandon Sanderson and Ali did the same for Arcane.
Now, let’s have them both read some Jim Butcher and the circle will be complete.
thanks for the love and supports...... with the supports of great fans like you, i have been able to attain this great height of mine...... which country are you in?
Out of all the interviews I've ever seen with Mr Cavill, I must say this is probably the most authentic and at home he appears to be. The line of questioning and answers hits right in his wheelhouse and they aren't overly prying or bombastic in any way. Bravo zulu BBC,
thanks for the love and supports...... with the supports of great fans like you, i have been able to attain this great height of mine...... which country are you in?
Just re-watched this interview, and again I’m so impressed w this interviewer, and w Henry’s engagement on all the topics. One of the best, if not the best interviews w Henry that I’ve seen.
I could never imagine another actor playing Geralt. Henry Cavill is perfect for this.
Chris Hemsworth!? Hugh Jackman Maybe?
Big fan of Henry's witcher but also mad Mickelson would be my no 2 choice
Simply put, he was born for this role. His portrayal, as well as the rest of the cast...are doing a PHENOMENAL job. This nerd to nerd interview is absolutely awesome.
thanks

This is a really great interview. They are so alike in their interests which means you don't have your typical interviewer not understanding references. They seem like they could even get along in real life behind the camera.
This didn’t even feel like an interview; just two blokes having a conversation. Well done!
After watching S2 I, once again, realized, that literally no one on this whole planet could play a better Geralt than Henry. It's not only because of his acting skills but especially because he's literally a walking "Witcher Bible", like Freya (Ciri) has said recently. This role was really made for him and only him. 🤍
Nah
Yes, he is Geralt😍
@@na1219 Yah
@@imbretzy nah
Not really because he does not understand Geralt. Geralt is a talkative philosopher in the books with a towering intellect, but in the show Geralt has become too quiet, too stupid and too unfunny.
I love that he compared Witcher to Ryan Reynolds being the one and only actor for that part. Nicely done 👍
By far one of the best interviews I've seen in years. No stupid questions on sight. Excellent.
As someone who first got into martial arts over 50 years ago - Henry moves very well, the fight choreography is extremely well done and his fluidity and timing and flows are simply a joy to watch - many thanks for really bringing this character to life in a way that really does it justice!
And now he’s going to do Warhamner!!! ❤
I wasn't to fond of Henry Cavill playing Geralt at first but after season one and now season two, there couldn't have been a better fit for this role than him. Absolute respect and love for this man.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Two intelligent, funny and interesting gentlemen are talking about juicy geeky stuff in a polite and fun way (oh, and on the way talking about some of Cavill's projects, but really, these are just the side notes :P ).
p.s- even a greater delight to see an interviewer knows what he is asking, or talking about in general regarding to the other person.
Hello Greetings.....👋
Really love his dedication to the role, and loved that he opted to keep certain lines credited to the original voice actor. Respectable.
thanks for the love and supports...... with the supports of great fans like you, i have been able to attain this great height of mine...... which country are you in?
Hello Greetings....👋
What an excellent interview! Ali appears to be a nerd extraordinaire, which is so endearing. His questions seem to come from a genuine love of the material, rather than just something he's reading off cue cards. It was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
Haha! Great interview! Love hearing questions that don`t repeat each other over and over again! Huge thanks!
Henry's a talented man but what sets him apart is that he's a fan too. He loves the movies/characters he makes and watches them from the first row.
Okay. I was a fan of Henry Cavill before this interview, then he mentioned David Gemmell and multiple other authors that I love. This dude is a legend!
I binge-watched quite a few Witcher interviews lately and this is by far the best. Ali Plumb is by far the best interviewer I have seen to bring out Henry Cavill's love for his craft and geekiness. I hope more interviews are to come with Mr. Plumb. This was outstanding!
In today's generation, best Superman, no one can top that, but he can be the next bond, he will give the justice to Daniel Craig
He said in another interview that he can't play bond for that long but he will take a villain role instead.
@@choibandrangx What? Where? Link? He has mentioned in many interviews he wants to be Bond.
Wont be next Bond, he is too muscular.
@@Casanovamorris He can cut bulk and lean down.
Im glad they included game stuff in this interview made henry happy im sure.
Holy shit this interviewer is god tier, actually included more than just the generic questions.
This is a fantastic interview. Handled with so much class. I appreciate the genuine intrigue and engagement about the subjects from both. No fake bullshit, just two people having a fun discussion. As it should be.
stoked to hear him mention Brandon Sanderson - The Way of Kings is the way to go with the Mistborn series running a close second
should also check him out when he was much younger in The Count of Monte Cristo with Jim Caviezel
YES!!!
Henry is truly the epitome of a reader/gamer.
Average gamer
I could see these two being actual friends. The connection they had seemed like something more than an interview.
Absolute GOLD this interview is! Well done to both of them!
You do an amazing job interviewing actors who’ve had so many interviews, you ask things they haven’t been asked before and it’s so fun and refreshing for fans to see, thank you☺️
Hello Greetings....👋
Henry Cavil is the most genuine person and Im so glad I get to be alive to witness an actor that actually understands the worlds and the characters that he is trying to bring to life.
I have always enjoyed this interviewer because he genuinely is interested in the persons work and I thank interviewers who do because the psychology behind why an actor does a certain thing and works the character a certain way is always great to hear. Also? Funny bits as well. :)
The only problem with being an Ali Plumb fan is now he makes it hard to watch other interviews, because they seem so lame. The only other person I enjoy interviewing celebs is Graham Norton.
Well it would have been better if the interviewer made eye contact with Henry. It's really irritating when interviewers keep looking at the floor. Good questions but shit interaction.
This is one of the best Henry Cavill interviews I’ve seen. I think the sweet, geeky (compliment) interviewer was just right, and Henry seemed comfortable, obviously finding the questions interesting. It makes a huge difference when the interviewer actually knows about the subject matter! Congrats on such a great job.
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤❤
How long have you been a fan of mine??
Thank you by the way Ali for this beautiful interview, you brought so much to it
All hail to the geek king. Man I love watching Henry talk about his hobbies that I too am into. Ali is the best interviewer in the planet no doubt.
Super detailed and niche interview .Loved every second of it.
I miss him already. 😢
