Engaging in intimate scenes on screen is often an uncomfortable experience for actors, and Henry Cavill found himself in a rather embarrassing situation during the filming of a passionate moment, reportedly for his role in The Tudors.
The 32-year-old British actor was left red-faced after an incident on the historical drama but managed to share the amusing anecdote with Men’s Fitness in great detail.
Cavill recounted the awkward moment, admitting that it was a one-time occurrence.
He described a scene where a co-star, with “spectacular bre-sts,” was required to be on top of him.
Unfortunately, he had not adjusted himself appropriately, leading to an unexpected physical reaction as she rubbed against him.
Following the incident, Cavill felt compelled to offer sincere apologies.
He acknowledged the inappropriateness of the situation, stating, “It’s not great when you’re in a professional acting environment and somebody gets a b***r, is it?
No, not acceptable.”
Despite the humorous retelling, Cavill emphasized that there was nothing alluring about disrobing in front of a crew of people.
He expressed discomfort with the physicality of s=x scenes, likening it to an unglamorous act of simply bumping into someone without any genuine intimacy.
Looking ahead, Cavill is set to portray Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
and reprise his iconic role as Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
While his recent confession showcases his ability to handle such mishaps with grace, rumors of his potential involvement in the Fifty Shades of Grey series suggest he may need to brace himself for more steamy scenes in the future.
