The actor behind one of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’s biggest cameos suffered after having to smoke for eight hours straight
While this actor only appeared briefly in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, filming can extend for hours, and when you have to smoke during your scene problems can arise from it.
Henry Cavill presents a healthy and strong image whenever he shows up. He’s not someone you imagine smoking. However, his work leads him to play other people with their customs and vices. This is what happened to him when he got to record his little cameo in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’. His figure as Wolverine from another multiverse (affectionately called ‘The Cavillrine’ by Ryan Reynolds) led him to get behind the cigar that characterizes Logan, which cost him a bill that he had to pay with his own health.
Director Shawn Levy spoke about the situation with The New York Times, in which he revealed that filming was tough and tiring for everyone “including poor Henry Cavill, who not only had that pumped-up muscular body but kept that cigar lit and in his mouth for the entirety of the shoot day. I remember hearing the next day that Henry was sick to his stomach because he had been inhaling cigar smoke for eight hours straight, but never once did he waver”
Cavill’s presence in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, a question of redemption for the actor
Cavill’s professionalism was above what he felt smoking the cigarettes he needed to keep in his mouth. He kept his silence and was always available for whatever the production team wanted. And his presence was matured over the years by Levy and his teammates. He was cast shortly after it became known that he would be replaced as Superman. “Given that Deadpool is in constant conversation with culture, it felt like a great opportunity to first of all cast Henry Cavill in a part that he would kick a*s at, but also to poke fun at that other comic-book-founded movie studio and play with some self-awareness there,” explained.
