Henry Cavill is not just The Witcher’sGeralt of Rivia , he is perhaps one of thebiggest Witcher dorksaround ( metaphorically and , uh , literally ) . So it is perhaps unsurprising that the only regret he has about the show ’s take on The Witcher 3 ’s bathtime antics is that it was n’t 100 per centum exact to the game .
Ever since we first saw a glimpse of Netflix ’s interpretation of the fantasy world ofAndrzej Sapkowski ’s Witcher novels , we’d been hopingto see the show bring us the infamous , aphrodisiac - as - all - hellmeme from The Witcher 3 : Bathtub Geralt . Our wishes were deed over by the show , and it was indeed delectable . However , beefcake purist were perhaps a shade disappointed that Cavill did n’t really recreate Geralt ’s specific bathtub pose from The Witcher 3 ’s opening moment — a pose that became so iconic Dark Horse literallyturned it into a statue .

Yes , the BA were there . The tub was there . But the feet ? Nowhere to be seen . It was n’t just passing athirst Witcher fans that comment , however ; Cavill also repent that he could n’t match Geralt ’s exact state of bathtime bliss . “ I was attempt to put my understructure up , and I could n’t , ” Cavill of late told BBC Radio One . “ The tub was the wrong pattern . But I think that might have been a bit much as well . ”
Now now , Henry , there is no such thing as too much in this respect . You ’re just trying to be dedicated to the source material !
As a lover of the plot through and through , however , Cavill jazz that from the get - go , accurate pose or otherwise , the blastoff would become one of The Witcher ’s biggest hits . “ I do n’t be intimate how many mass agnise how iconic it was , that there was already a visual bind , ” Cavill said of his headspace while filming the scene . “ And so , when I was take into that bath , I was sit there thinking , ‘ I question if anyone knows how much this is going to explode , this particular panorama . ’ ”
I enquire if he know he ’d be upstaged in the meme game by acatchy bard ditty , however .
