Hopefully he doesn't get fired from the DCEU over this.
The Superman actor made the remarks in a recent interview with GQ Australia after being asked about the #MeToo movement
Henry Cavill has been criticised for comments he made in a recent interview about flirting with women, which included one remark he made about being worried about flirting in a post-#MeToo world in case “I’m going to be called a rapist or something”.
The Superman actor made the comments during a recent interview with GQ Australia, where he was asked about what he’d learned from the #MeToo movement.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to not be around the kind of people who behave that way,” he said. “To my memory there’s been no moments where I look back and think, ‘Ooh, OK, maybe someone shouldn’t have gone through that’. I know there have been situations with people I’ve worked with being perhaps over-familiar with some of the actresses. But, I’ve always walked up to them and said, ‘Hey, are you all right? That’s creepy’.”
Asked about whether #MeToo had made him reconsider his own behaviour towards women, Cavill replied: “I like to think that I’ve never been like that. I think any human being alive today, if someone casts too harsh a light on anything, you could be like, ‘Well, OK, yeah, when you say it like that, maybe.’
“But it’s such a delicate and careful thing to say because there’s flirting which, for example, in a social environment is in context – and is acceptable. And that has been done to me as well, in return.”
“Stuff has to change, absolutely,” he added in regards to men’s behaviour. “It’s important to also retain the good things, which were a quality of the past, and get rid of the bad things.
“There’s something wonderful about a man chasing a woman,” he continued. “There’s a traditional approach to that, which is nice. I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe I’m old-fashioned for thinking that.
“It’s very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then it’s like: ‘Well, I don’t want to go up and talk to her, because I’m going to be called a rapist or something’. So you’re like, ‘Forget it, I’m going to call an ex-girlfriend instead, and then just go back to a relationship, which never really worked’. But it’s way safer than casting myself into the fires of hell, because I’m someone in the public eye, and if I go and flirt with someone, then who knows what’s going to happen?
“Now? Now you really can’t pursue someone further than, ‘No’. It’s like, ‘OK, cool’. But then there’s the, ‘Oh why’d you give up?’ And it’s like, ‘Well, because I didn’t want to go to jail?’”
