Henry Cavill, star ofThe Witcherand our current Superman, recently built a gaming PC from top to bottom. The 37-year-old actor posted a video of himself, in a tank top, assembling the computer on Instagram during quarantine, which had a certain effect on the collective internet. Social media was not only impressed with Cavill’s nerd cred, but they were especially impressed with, well, Cavill.
It’s no secret that quite a few people find theMan of Steelstar attractive. However, this video brought that out in people in a big, bad way. Thousands of posts across social media flooded in after the video started making the rounds. Henry Cavill seemed to egg people on in a playful way. His video was shared with the following caption.
“This kind of material isn’t for everyone….viewer discretion is advised. You may see a lot of parts that you haven’t seen before.”
The video sees Henry Cavill laying out all of the parts for hisnew gaming PCand carefully assembling them. It is edited together with care, consisting of needle drops and clean transitions. There are probably millions of how-to videos on YouTube that make similar demonstrations. But they don’t feature a shirtless Cavill, who was declared by more than one person the “hottest nerd on the planet” as a result of his computer skills. Writer and artist Francesco Francavilla, for example, said the following of Cavill’s video.
“Ok now I want Henry Cavill to come screw my everything. Nowait that came out wrong…”
