Henry Cavill Is ‘Not a Fan’ of Sex Scenes: ‘I Don’t Understand Them … Sometimes They’re Overused These Days’


Henry Cavill is not a fan doing sex scenes.

During an interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast with his “Argylle” director Matthew Vaughn, the actor said it is often better for a television series or movie not to show sex scenes and leave it up to the viewer to fill in the pieces as “the human imagination” is far more powerful. So, it can be a little bit of a cop-out if a TV show or a movie is just filled with gyrating bodies and you’re going, ‘Okay, but what is this doing for us apart from the idea of, oh naked person, great’. Fortunately for Cavill, he does not have any sex scenes in Vaughn’s “Argylle.” The action movie casts the “Superman” veteran as the eponymous spy, who is actually the lead character in a popular book series written by a reclusive author (Bryce Dallas Howard).
