Henry Cavill Tells 'Kimmel' It Was 'Important' He Performed His Own Stunts in 'The Witcher'!

Henry Cavill paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday (December 3) and dished all about his new Netflix series The Witcher, and doing his own stunts!

“On this I didn’t use a stuntman at all,” the 36-year-old actor revealed after Kimmel presented an action scene from the fantasy series based on the best-selling Andrzej Sapowski book series of the same name.

“It’s really important that the character exists within the action as well rather than just an acting scene and then you have an action scene, which is completely separate, and then you’re back to the acting again,” Cavill continued. “It’s really important that the story and the character travel through all of those things.”

Henry said that he learned about the series after playing through the critically-acclaimed video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

“Played that game to the death and then I heard it was coming out. I met the showrunner and that’s when I learned that there were books. Read the books and then realized that I was missing out on a whole world of this stuff because I’ve been into the fantasy genre since I was a kid,” Henry said.

Henry also talked about being super ripped, Mission Impossible, Superman, why he’s a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, playing rugby growing up, life with four brothers, and the parallels between his new show and Game of Thrones.
