British actor Henry Cavill is well-known in the entertainment industry. He has won the hearts of millions of fans for his excellent performances in Man of Steel, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Black Adam, etc. Fans were really left in awe when the British actor revealed that he is fond of the Warhammer game.
It’s quite fascinating how our Superman is so versatile. Well-known for his acting skills, Cavill also takes a keen interest in Warhammer. In fact, the game is quite an age-old thing for the Man of Steel star. However, he was also honest about a particular thing that really threw him off related to his hobby.

The main topic of the interview was Warhammer, a hobby that he has had for years. Regarding his Warhammer hobby, Kimmel asked Cavill if the game was a kind of relaxation for him. Responding to the question, Cavill went a little diplomatic. Although he agreed that he loved the game, he was also upfront about how the game irritated him at times. He said:
“I love it but I get very frustrated at times.”
On being asked why, Cavill answered that it takes a lot of time to be good at painting, and then again, one has to make an army of the final copy, only to compare all of them with someone really good at it. Sounds like Warhammer isn’t only about winning or losing, it’s an entire journey.
