Whenever I’ve had to set up a new laptop over the past decade, I inevitably have to call CB to talk me through something or other. I’m not completely helpless, but I’m not the most tech-savvy person and I’m okay with that. I could never build a gaming PC, or put one together. I would cry. Then again, I’m not a gamer so it’s not like I would ever need to put one together! Henry Cavill, on the other hand, is a major gamer. He’s been a serious gamer for many, many years. The ladies may come and go but the gamer life stays. So obviously, Cavill spent a day in lockdown putting together his own gaming PC, and he made a little video of his journey. This seemed to take the better part of two days.
It’s so nerdy! There was a lot of talk about those dreadful curtains – I don’t understand if Cavill is in England (where his family lives, and where I think he has a home) or in LA, where I know he has a home? If he’s in England, the curtains make sense, because that’s the vibe of the decor – English country home, with muddy rose paint and chintz and floral curtains. If this is LA, the decor makes no sense (unless Cavill let his grandma decorate his LA pad). As for the tank top, the sweat and the meaty man… it’s nice. I could definitely see curling up with a mocha frappe and calling out inane suggestions at Henry as he grew more and more annoyed with me for breaking his concentration. Something I do appreciate: he really studied the f–k out of those directions. Most men don’t.

This is nice and doesn’t involve Trump. I’m into it.
My husband and I used the quarantine to change eating habits and have lost 81 lbs together. On top of it, he’s been lifting a ton and running around shirtless or in tank tops and I’ll be honest, I’m encouraging it so I can shamelessly ogle 😂😂😂
amazing!! Well done 🙂
That’s incredible! Hope you are both feeling fantastic.
👏👏👏
That’s amazing. If you don’t mind sharing, what kind of changes did you make to your eating habits?
We made changes too. The wrong kind! But reading this is inspiring me to start eating healthier.
Dang! Good job!
I love how shamelessly nerdy he is. Super hot in my books
I know he catches a lot of flack around these parts, but I cannot help it. He makes me weak in the knees with his hotness. There is a boyish charm to him that just gets me. That and he is so nicely built and looking a little thick these days–which I am into.
I agree. I love how nerdy he is and low key goofy. There is something so appealing about hot nerdy guys. He loves gaming, computers, building mini things, cooking and working out.
He needs to be my husband.
Night hunter on Netflix
Suoer nerd + brit accent
Count. Me. In!
yeah I watched that movie several times just for Henry
Oh man I’ll have to check it out
It’s not on US Netflix but it’s on Amazon Prime
His nerdiness gives me life. 1) because it’s hot and 2) because he literally as close to Adonis as a person can get, and instead of going around being creepy he spends his time gaming – to the point of almost missing the role of Superman because *he was playing World of Warcraft*.
Thank you Henry Cavill for bringing the wholesomeness.
I admit I didnt like him at first, in the Superman era. I hated that he was cast as Geralt, but he’s slowly grown on me and I’ll eat my words because he’s excellent as Geralt and I love a nerdy muscle man
I totally agree! I wasn’t a fan at first but Henry as Geralt completely turned me into a fan. He’s fantastic.
Yes to him reading the directions, and the tank top
No to his crappy curtains and brown walls, even in England. It’s not an excuse any more.
His fingers taper weirdly but not his fault obviously.
He said something in his Actors on Actors chat with Patrick Stewart about spending lockdown in a house that isn’t his – so the decor is unlikely to be on him. However it is VERY English country house. Due to the irregular and often huge windows in old houses, people often inherit the curtains of the last owner since they’re very expensive to make from new and highly unlikely to fit the old owner’s new house. I am the not proud possessor of a load of flowery hallway curtains that are vintage 1989.
This is the kind of decor the Tatler piece criticised Cate the Great for NOT having. Hers all probably match which is seen as rather nouveau and try hard (not by me, I hasten to add – I’d love to have everything matching and not 1989 Laura Ashley theme park).
ETA deleted double post
I kinda like the curtains. lol
I’ve been loving his quarantine posts particularly his attempts at cooking that seem actually normal (like whatever he makes hardly looks food network ready but still appetizing )
It always looks like delicious home cooking to me. I love the fact that he was cooking and baking all during lockdown.
Good looking Fella!
Seen him in The Tudors? Yes, please.
I don’t care about Superman, can’t watch anything with Tom Cruise anymore, so I know him from The Tudors.
Man, he is putting in some time lifting, no? Look at those arms. 🙂
People who can build or fix things have my admiration..I can barely put up a picture.
I have added Henry Cavill to my list of distractions….What’s Keanu up to? Henry? Evans?
OK, back to chores.
Big muscles and big butt. He can win the ‘Damn boy he thick’ challenge on Tik Tok. I can’t believe his significant other hasn’t given him some advice on how to decorate.
My Gawd what a beautiful White Dude! His face is perfectly chiseled. That is all
Sis you need to see him in the series The Tudors.
I’ve watched this video 100 times and I have yet to notice the curtains
LOL
There are curtains in the video?!?!
I love my husband I love my husband, but build me like one of your computers you beautiful man!! Sorry/not sorry.
I remember going to see ‘Man of Steel’ in the theater with my husband, and I was so shamelessly giddy at watching him on screen to the point that I was giggling and hiding my face in my shirt. My husband turned to me more than once and was like, “Oh my God, look at you…” In our house, Henry is now always referred to as “my boyfriend”. 🙂
I watched the video twice. It was hot. And nerdy.
And because I follow Henry on IG I know that he is currently in the English countryside and even posted a story about how one of his horses got out if the barn in the middle of the night. He also is apparently a fantastic cook and all during lockdown posted pics of his Quarantine culinary efforts.
Thank you for your hard research… lol! You’ve insta stalked him well, and it’s fun to know about his escaping horses! On these boring indoor days I’ve also found myself watching British ‘Escape to the country’ real estate episodes and who knew how chintzy all of those English village houses look! I’d escape to Henry’s cottage any day *wink*
Haha living in rural Hampshire I’ve been watching my lottery dream home, American houses all have fake wood decking and basements that are not actually underground
he probably went to his mother and asked her for some curtains for his sun room and she sent him those. looks exactly like the kinds my mother would have.
Eh. As someone who can build a gaming PC herself, I’m not impressed. Hashtag humble-brag. Plus, he dates teenagers, so…
Hot! So hot! And nerdy!
I don’t know why, but for me he lost the hotness when he got all built and bulky for Superman. I thought he was hot in the Tudors, but after that, not so much. Especially when he’s in a suit, he looks uncomfortable, like the buttons are going to blow at any moment. He has all the elements of handsomeness, but doesn’t do it for me. Kind of like Chris Evans.
He was so pretty in the Tutors but never found him hot. Too bulky today. He’s a decent actor and the best celluloid Superman to date.
It’s quite common for people to build their own PCs as in it’s not the nerdiest thing you could be doing but he’s always been into fantasy novels, gaming, and other semi-nerdy stuff as well. He’s very well spoken, humble, and nice in interviews. Great post for PR purposes; it’s gotten coverage even in the business/tech email newsletters I get. Impact-wise better than his cake and roast IG posts, LOL!
I know The Witcher is so cheesy, but he’s so hot in it. I didn’t see his super hotness until that. I think it’s the hair with that chiseled face that just makes me weak. And the fact that he’s a gamer nerd that worked hard for that role because of his love for the game just makes him that much hotter.
Same exact journeys. 🙂
Same. I totally didn’t see it before Witcher
I saw him in a bar and he is Greek statue-like.
Most symmetrical human I have ever seen.
Not sure if he sexy (too thick for my taste) but IRL he is utterly beautiful.
I watched that video many, many times. And enjoyed how he was trending on Twitter and enjoyed reading all the other thirsty tweets posted. I wonder if he can start making house calls…….
I’d love this more if I didn’t suspect it’s a marketing setup for the PC manufacturer. It has all the hallmarks of the New Advertising, and hey, Cavill would be the perfect go-to fella.
I’m not into thick dudes at all, and never found this guy hot or interesting (even after Tudors) but that changed after The Witcher. That video is very easy on the eyes indeed, oy.
He IS hot. But him dating a teenager will always give me pause.
Plus all the blind items of him knowingly giving them herpes. Other than that, yes very hot lol
If you like the Henry Cavil type check out Dr. Evan Antin on IG. Super-hot veterinary doc and wildlife activist. He’s as cute as Cavil but is out there doing good!
I’d climb that sexy nerd mountain any day and night
HOT
This is the most I’ve ever liked him. I feel like it’s the first time he’s ever shown a bit of personality. Pleased to see he’s been keeping up his weightlifting routine.
As a middle-aged PC gamer myself, there is nothing hotter than a man building a water-cooled rig in prep for the Shadowlands release. I mean…yeah.
Seriously, my husband built one this year (same case as Superman here), and watching him bend the conduit with a heat gun and install parts with static gloves on…the rapt concentration. It was hot.
Oh, and as to men not reading the instructions: Nerds do, and gamer nerds don’t mess around with their computers. The husband researched and watched other people building them for MONTHS before he even chose all the components.
I think we might be related.
It’s been theorized that if you go back 14 generations, you can find a connection to almost anyone on earth. Nice to meet ya, cousin. /grin
I really want to know what Wow server he’s on. I always want to know when it comes to fellow-playing celebs in the same server zone.
Kaiser: Hahahaha, “I could definitely see curling up with a mocha frappe and calling out inane suggestions at Henry as he grew more and more annoyed with me for breaking his concentration.” Me too!
I watched this video with my husband, who also builds his own computers, and it was awesome to hear my husband be so into the video, he was remarking on every step Cavill did: “Yeah, that’s right,” “Wow that’s a huge case, what is he going to put in there??,” “No! What are you doing, dude?,” “Wait he forgot to put the thermal paste on?” It was cool because I got to watch a hot nerd and also *have* a hot nerd right next to me :).
I was never a thick ass and thigh girl. But damn I wanna squeeze his tushie! It’s well known he’s a gamer. Probably another reason he can’t really sustain long term relationships. Oh and the cheating.
And the herpes-with-no-forewarning, apparently? Yikes.
As mom to three (four counting the huz) gamers, as well as my gaming and tech addictions, you’d be surprised at what we sit through on YouTube lol. Walkthroughs are the ultimate snooze fest. AND, you’d be amused with what actually prompts people to record themselves. This is quite cute. The vid that is. Geralt is something else entirely. 😁
I don’t think we’d get along as well as we do if we didn’t game, stream or rock the frak out lol.
And one more thing, who else here gets stoked to the pass-out point opening new tech? Omg. Hearts palpitate. It’s the only time I open slowly, cleaning as I go so as not to misplace a single thing!
Good for him building his own PC
I used to think he’s an idiot but ever since I learned that he is a gamer, I respect him. 😂
Looked up his astrology chart (as I do with many celebs) and he has a lot of Taurus in his chart, which could “explain” the “Fat Cavill” thing as a child. Taurus is known for its physical beauty and he reflects it to a tee with his black curls and kind of dense, very tactile presence and stocky build, with his Aquarian Moon bestowing an otherworldly/ethereal touch (eyes esp). The Moon in Aquarius is, in addition, totally associated with tech nerdiness, fantasy novels, etc. As for his love life, the Gemini Venus “explains” his apparently whimsical or fickle approach (or it could be just the typical actor’s peripatetic lifestyle). He tends to like women who look youngish or have mercurial, sparkling personalities. He’s super tenacious, productive, will stick at it to get whatever he wants, and LOVES great food and luxury.
Well, given a choice..who doesn’t love great food and luxury? 🙂
He is beautiful tho.
It’s called good PR. He knows what he’s doing. There are no accidents or whims with this guy.
Henry is gay, not even bi.
I know the gays are happy to have his fine ass, lol.
I love how he’s unafraid to be himself, to be nerdy and humble despite being such a perfect physical specimen. I love him as Geralt and need to watch more with him. Also, his little role in Stardust! Blink and you’ll miss him.
i find him very shallow and ageist for dating 19 year old barley out school .he has dislike women his own age .
