So devoted to his character in the movie, Henry Cavill even took his performance costume home to wear “for fun” sometimes.
After the movie ended, the actor brought Geralt’s costume home to display. He shared: “I took all of Geralt’s costumes home… it’s really not easy to wear them. It takes me almost 2 hours every day to do my hair and makeup, so I wear them sitting at home and look cool”.
“The Witcher” producer Lauran Schmidt Hissrich revealed that it’s not uncommon to see the actor dressed as Geralt even when the cameras aren’t rolling. “Geralt is no longer a character to him,” she said. “He wants everything to be perfect, like the weapons have to look like they’ve been worn for years. He cooks in them, and he even sleeps in them. We all say he doesn’t have to wear them all the time, but he’s invested in getting the best out of his character.”
“The Witcher” is currently one of the hottest TV series on Netflix despite critics’ criticism. Although there is no filming schedule for part 2 yet, producer Hissrich revealed that with part 2, the film’s plot will be simpler and easier to understand.
