En image : Henry Cavill profite du confinement pour peindre des Warhammer

Mis au chômage technique suite à la suspension du tournage de The Witcher, Henry Cavill profite du confinement pour renouer avec d’anciennes passions. L’acteur, qui n’a jamais caché être un geek, passant la majeure partie de son temps libre sur les jeux vidéo, a ressorti ses caisses de figurines à peindre issues de Games Workshop.

Sur Instagram, il a donc partagé ses premières créations et dévoilé au monde son amour pour les Warhammer, la célèbre franchise de l’entreprise britannique.

Considering we are, both, going through the Easter period, and going through The Lockdown, I figured it a good time to put a silver lining onto the cloud that is some of the darker moments during this time. So I've decided to polish some old skills and try my hand at some new ones! It is a time of rebirth after all. So, as you can see here, the obvious might look a little bit like a tiny helmet...which it is. One of my almost life long hobbies, that I've been following but not actively doing, is this. A company called Games Workshop...or plastic crack as "we" call it. Genuinely can't get enough of the lore they have built over the decades. They have been some of my most enthused reads! If you were in denial about me being a geek before, you can't hide from it now. Also, in the background of this photo, there may just be some completely new skills I'm working on.....or there may not be, so all of your eye squinting and attempts at digital unfocusing will be in vain....orrrr maybe they won't. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank, from the bottom of my heart, all of the NHS (National Health Service, here in the UK) and healthcare workers worldwide, for your unceasing efforts to protect us. I imagine it might be feeling a little rough right now, but you Ladies and Gents are absolutely smashing it! Keep it up! You got this. "Hold on a second", I hear you utter....."if he has both hands in the photo...how is he taking the photo??" New skills, my friends....new skills. #Easter #Passover #GamesWorkshop #ProperGeek #Custodes #NewSkills #NHS #ThankYou #Raggy?

L’interprète de Geralt de Riv dans The Witcher compare cette passion pour les figurines à peindre à une véritable “drogue plastique”. L’acteur confie également qu’il s’agit de “son plus vieux hobby”, sans préciser toutefois s’il est plus du côté des Halflings ou des Skavens.

Enfin, il profite de son message pour remercier les soignants américains qui font front pendant la pandémie de Covid-19, très meurtrière aux États-Unis.

La première saison de The Witcher est disponible en intégralité sur Netflix.
