“I was mortified”: Amy Adams Apologised to Henry Cavill After a Weird Shirtless Moment With the Superman Actor
Henry Cavill made his debut as an actor in Hollywood with the 2001 fim Lagoon, and has since been steadily gaining more and more attention for his diverse work on a variety of projects. His breakthrough role came in 2007 when he starred as Charles Brandon, the first Duke of Suffolk in Showtime’s TV series The Tudors, which was aired from 2007 to 2010.
Henry Cavill’s portrayal of the DC superhero Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel helped him gain international recognition. Despite everything that he has achieved, he still has not gotten used to playing intimate scenes in his projects. This led to one of his uncomfortable experiences while filming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice with co-star Amy Adams, who apologised after an awkward shirtless scene.
Amy Adams Apologized to Henry Cavill for Her Behavior
Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel was followed by the sequel Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. In both of these movies, there were intimate scenes between Henery Cavill’s Superman and Amy Adams’ Lois Lane. Now, it is no secret that The Witcher star has a great physique. However, this great physique of his has proved to be rather difficult to be around for Adams who had trouble taking her eyes off him on several occasions.
In an interview with Marie Claire UK in 2016, the American Hustle actress admitted to have objectified her co-star. She said:
“In between shots it was like, ‘Put on a robe please, and make everyone feel less bad about themselves!’ I objectified poor Henry. I had to apologi[z]e to him at one point. I promise I’m not that pervy. He’s just so good to look at.”

As it turns out, this was not the only time Amy Adams had to apologise to the Justic League actor as she recounted to Australia’s The Project (via Daily Mail) how she shocked herself with her own reaction to a shirtless Cavill, saying:
“I’m just sitting there and he looks like that and I kissed his belly.It was the weirdest [thing] – why would I take that choice in that moment? I was mortified, I was like ‘Henry I’m so sorry.'”
The two actors have been nothing but appreciative of each other and even developed a friendship while working together so the Enola Holmes star did not seem to take offense at Adams’ behaviour.
Henry Cavill Struggled During An Intimate Scene in The Tudors
Intimate scenes have become a common staple in shows and movies these days. Some have a little more than others. Intimacy coordinators for such scenes is always a necessity. Henry Cavill also revealed one of his embarrassing experiences during the filming of The Tudors.
During a Men’s Health interview in 2015, Cavill said:
“It’s only happened to me once, and it was very embarrassing. A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn’t rearranged my—stuff into a harmless position. I had to apologize profusely afterwards. It’s not great when you’re in a professional acting environment.”
The Immortals star has repeatedly insisted that filming intimate scenes is not as fun as it might seem. This incident shows that Cavill respects his co-stars.
