This guy is a class act, self-irony, doesn't take himself too seriously, and he talks like the average friend you meet with and can talk with about anything.

[yellowbat]

Henry Cavill is slowly entering keanu reeves level of internet love

[tahirasadiq]

Henry’s personality is a straight 10/10, he’s kind, intelligent, humorous, and way more interesting than most celebs out there. Most of all he’s a 100% genuine guy, you can tell clearly

[nightangel]

I would love to sit and listen to Henry Cavill and Tom Hiddleston having a polite debate.

[elijahcassidy]

*Henry Cavill gives intelligent insight into his process
*Jimmy makes joke that sidetracks the conversation
*Cavill politely accepts the banter and then segways back into intelligent conversation

Rinse and repeat

[itzjaeger]

Henry cavill must have hurt his back because he was carrying that interview

[happydimri]

I never expected henry as Geralt, now i can't imagine anyone else in that role .✌️

[arlathen]

I love how Henry is silently judging Jimmy 😂

[phalanxSatan]

Outstanding as Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher, can't wait for season 2.

[jprivera]

that "mustache almost killed superman" joke is grossly underrated

[alexanghel]

40% of the comments: Henry is so great
60% of the comments: Jimmy is such a terrible interviewer

[jskeetz]

imagine a world where henry is more famous for playing geralt rather than clark kent. DC wasted this man's potential

[lidcall]

He’s so polite and kind and sophisticated OMG

[ignazs.]

At 2:55, you can see Cavill's eyes express a level of disbelief that say 'I can't believe I'm talking to this idiot.'

[lyracy]

Jesus, Kimmel, read the room. I feel like Henry gave him so much material to work with, but Jimmy just wanted his own jokes to work. Henry seems like a really decent guy, and a great guest.

[palcada]

It’s almost like his parents built him with mathematical precision.

[nanea]

Henry needs to be on Hot Ones because Sean is a great interviewer

[milkeubaby]

I am SO glad that Henry is not only beautiful, but he's absolutely lovely as well. What a perfect guy. 15/10.

[KouzyFox]

Lmao Jimmy basically insulted him the entire time and Henry is so mature and polite he made Jimmy look like a good host. Oh well.

[tomislavkramaric]

I feel like Jimmy is picking on him the whole time for being British, liking games and fantasy stuff as a kid and other similar stuff. But Henry is just great, a really decent guy, really polite in every way. A gentleman.
