”I was playing a computer game! I was playing away, and my phone rang, and I ignored it, because I was playing World Of Warcraft and I couldn’t pause it, and you can’t save it, so I just ignored the phone, because it was a high moment… And then I looked down at the last second and saw Zack Snyder. I was like “Uh-oh…” I went to answer it. Missed it. So I called back. It went straight to voicemail. At this point I started to think, “Okay, you’ve messed up this time…” Then I got another call, from a different number. It was Zack. He said, “I was just calling to say thank you very much for coming in and performing, and we had a great time meeting you. Just wanted to say thank you.” And I thought, “Oh no, he’s letting me down easy…” And then he said, “I was basically just calling to ask if you want to do a little movie with me.” At which point you want to roar and shout with excitement but you can’t. So I tried to play it cool — not too cool, so it seemed like I wasn’t appreciative, but cool enough. And so I said, “Thank you very much, and I can’t wait to come and see you in LA and start working with you.” And then I hung up the phone and ran up and down the stairs just roaring and shouting. I couldn’t get the smile off my face for about 12 hours. It’s a very surreal experience to look at yourself in the mirror and say, “I’m going to be Superman.” That will stay with me forever, for sure.

Can pause for a moment and appreciate HENRY MOTHERFUCKING CAVILL playing WORLD OF WARCRAFT.

A. Henry Cavill is a nerd. B. I love when actors are super excited about playing superheroes. It makes me view their performance differently(in a good way). It’s why I loved Anne Hathaway as Catwoman but was never comfortable with Christian Bale as Batman.
