Russell Crowe told this story so well.
+Honey Badger It's a skill few master.
Because he had to tell it in nearly every interview.
He is an actor ..... and its a made up story so he was just doing his job. Seriously 95% percent of stories celebrities tell on publicity junkets for movies are made up and simply to draw attention to the movie. His flawless delivery of the story is not an accident - it was rehearsed probably more thoroughly then his lines for the movie.
It is a real story you pleb
Prove it AngrySam
Bro, the audience was dead quiet when Russell Crowe was giving his story. DAMN!
Raconteur
He is a great storyteller.
Russel Crowe could read the ingredients of a cereal box and people would listen. The man can hold a room.
yes ❤
Just look at Henry when Russell's telling the story. He looks so proud and nostalgic it makes my heart swell with feels X3
Russell Crowe is so charismatic ! From the moment he opens his mouth everybody shuts up and listens to him
Crowe is a great story teller. In the beginning, all we know about the advice is that it was truthful and then it's revealed at the end XD
When Russell talks, everyone listens and holds their breath. Amazing storyteller.
Mr. Crowe is one of my favorite actors of all-time!!!
+kalihi tama Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
+123Comrade he is the original one to say "are you not entertained!?"
Top 5 for me
Russell is such a gent. Sending something with words of wisdom to a boy you only met once in passing. What a great guy. Crazy story. What are the odds? I'd guess that he probably quietly did many amazing things for people that no one will ever know about
"You were morbidly obese, you could have died." Hahaa, I love Graham :')
Do you still watch the show?
sarcastic...
it's a small world after all :) oh and I really love the look on Henry's eyes while Russell Crowe was telling the story...
The same look of this little kid and the same respect and admiration to his movie idol
russel crowe is so nice
Russell Crowe is such a gentleman, you can see how much Henry looks up to him. Charming story!
Outstanding story telling.(By the look on henrys face he is honoured and previldge to work Russel the Legend who made what he is Today.) #Best.
You realize the story is 100% made up. Its just something they created to draw attention to the film for the publicity tour.
@@angrysam5361 lol ok buddy. Go back into your bunker.
Crowe's a great story teller. I've heard him (and Cavill) tell this story many times, and each times he's added something to it to make it a little more awesome. This is the first time he mentioned the other kid, Merlin, and what he went on to do.
Russel Crowe's voice is amazing.
Australian accent
1:43 Cavill looks like he's about to cry
+ImagenaryFriendd I just said that
+ImagenaryFriendd Superman can cry if he wants.
+ImagenaryFriendd It's gotta be an emotional set of memories ... come on, you should know that. :)
+PacalB Of course! It was a statement, not a judgement. Don't worry.
You know this story was made up right ? Its a story for the publicity tour to give them something to talk about on TV shows. Its not actually real :)
Russell sending these kids gifts- what a nice guy.
That subtle node by russel on 2:57 and crowd shut up , damn
That was the nod of "Hold on you're gonna love this"
Man i was thinking the same thing!!! Very charismatic
They pay you well but they treat you like shit
-Russell Crowe
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Sounds like a fair trade to me. Sign me up!!
The risk own hollywood industry
I dont want to appeal of my assumption but, acting is prostitution and vice versa ? Am I right?
Henry's teary eyes, i can't...
So a young boy decides to join the army and later becomes a security officer back home afterwards all because Russell Crowe gave him a photo from one of his best movies with words of encouragement on it. True heroes will always be those who humbly show kindness and inspire others to be the best, especially when they don’t even know what it will lead to. 7 years ago, I was walking on a beach to see a piping plover nesting sight when I met two other men doing the same to photograph it. We all talked for a while and by the time we parted ways they told me they were retired navy veterans. That thought stuck with me all day and 5 years later, after careful planning, I joined the Navy. It was all because I was inspired by 2 bird photographers who didn’t know what they created. Thank You!!!
Bloody love this story and also great how Cavill even when shooting the film together with Ruseell crowe never mentioned it until russell crowe actually mentioned to him. Top bloke!
Amazing what an effect a small moment and a chance encounter can have on a young mind isn't it?
I love how Henry doesn't feel ashamed whatsoever of his childhood nickname. And for those who called him that, shame on you but it doesn't matter because look where he is and where you are now?
Could have been an affectionate nickname. Common thing in Britain and Australia
He was the kid in The Count of Monte Cristo. He was not fat there.
I mean my friends called me fat but it was not in a teasing way. You kind of know when its in a negative way. And i was infact FAT so..
That’s just crazy; funny how real-life sometimes is stranger than art. It also goes to show how just a small word of encouragement from someone at the top can change someone’s destiny, not only for Cavill’s but the other kid he mentions too.
This is why "The Graham Norton Show" is the best talk show.
This story and hugh jackman remembering his gym student must be so cool for the recipients ! I think there might be a few others....
that was a really nice story.
A good actor, a good director, a good writer, a good speaker must--necessarily, above all the rest, be a good story teller.
The look in Cavill's face when Russels telling the story.
That's true. He even kickstarted Hugh Jackman's career by suggesting him for Wolverine.
You can verify this, but Russell Crow has done this for more than just the two kids in the story, Russell Crowe once saw a small boy try to skateboard but he wasn't too good at it, and he looked discouraged, and apparently on a walk while taking a break from his shoot he saw this happen, the kid was trying to do it for hours and by the end he was almost in tears, Russell walked up to the kid and told him "The time you spend working hard today, will make you so skilled that when you work it will look like you are hardly working."
That kid grew up to be Tony Hawk!
"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?" by a beautiful story of course...
"They pay you pretty well, but they treat you like shit."
Kinda heartbreaking considering how Warner Bros treated him as Superman.
Russell is such a great storyteller! I want to listen to him, all day!
"Okay, so you were ENORMOUSLY at 13"
"I don't know about ENORMOUSLY fat."
'You were morbidly obese, you could have died"
Hahaha I can't stop, that was brilliant!
0:02 What brings this from funny to "Only the Lord Himself is this good at humour" is that Cavill told this while sitting next to Amy Adams who had played a character with obesity issues in _Smallville._
Russell Crowe is a great storyteller!
And years father giving this fatherly advice he played his dad in man of steel.
Cavill is perfection. I can't even . Omg
3 of my favorite actors. Amy though is just special.
Imagine calling Henry Cavil fat in the middle school and then calling himself his proud classmate during the premiers.
I love that it came full circle. They would both be casted in Superman and they would work together.
When Henry Cavill met Russell Crowe ❤❤🎉🎉 save me
Henry cavill should be the next James bond..please and thank you
Henry looked like he was about to tear up
Moral of the story: Be good to people, cause you don't know tomorrow
In an American talk show Russell Crowe and would have been stopped at least ten times for this Graham Norton is the best talk show in the world IMHO.
Even though I'm not British, Graham Norton is where I go when times are rough and I need a good laugh.
American talk show hosts could take a leaf from his book.
Yeah man, it's easy going and not in your face. Graham has a great Irish wit too. I think the celebs enjoy it as well.
You can see Henry is looking up to him
Henry Cavill - My Superman( love him)
Russell Crowe - Gorgeous!!!
How cool is that ah!!
Graham *interrupting* "You were morbidly obese, you could've died."
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA x'D!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!! Cavill even wooed Russel Crowe with his charm.
"My name was indeed Cavill, and I was indeed fat" - I love how he said that.
I have the feeling Russel Crowe is a hidden Tom Hanks. That means that he is actually a celebrity that would live next door and would just ring the bell if he happens to run out of sugar
my gosh I could write a entire text about how perfect is Henry Cavill, he is... Yep, PERFECT!
This interview was great. Thanks for posting!
Basically, I think we can all conclude from this that Russell Crowe is some sort of lucky charm.
Henry = Perfection
I just realized Cavill gave Crowe a job. Full circle
man of culture attendance
Such a great story
Russell Crowe is a raconteur par excellance
Very cool story. No such thing as coincidence. ❤️
Cavill = DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUS!!! Ahhhh!
Henry is so James Bond 😍
It's crazy how Russell said they worked together for months before he asked him if he knew him omfg that would've been the FIRST thing I said on set lmao
He's great, the movie was amazing!
I first saw Henry in Count of Monte Cristo. He was supposed to play Edward in Twilight too.
This is such an excellent story!!
Russell crowe's voice is so deep and easy on the ear that I can listen to him all day. 😇😌
love this story
Thanks for posting.
Just got home from watching this! its amazing!! Everyone should see Man Of Steel!!!!
What an incredible story!!
Every time I hear Russel tell this story it's the same :P
Cavill is so beautiful. Crowe is my dad.
One hell of a story 🙌🏼
awwwww ;') right in the feeeelss
Classy and fun.
i love him. can't wait to see the movie.
I'm so happy about this
You know that Tugger and Wally B were in the back room hanging on every word.
whoever called henry cavil fat better apologize.
+Mrjlee93 You know they're eating it now ;)
Russell Crowe is the king.
loving henry :)
The Great British Smile :)
Most handsome man on the planet
1:21. Amy is into Henry
Just imagine two English private school school boys. One joins the army and one becomes an actor. Whatever next? Private school boys dominating the corridors of power and all aspects of the arts in this country?
Henry's dad and the eldes brother were in the navy too, his second eldest brother is decorated Royal Marine. Henry often trains with the marines and had thought that that was going to be his career path. So, he isnt far away from being a soldier himself.
Happens to the best of us.
Henry that is your real father who you ran into! xd
*Justice League faces a fierce opponent*
Wonder Woman: Should we call Superman?
Batman: No. Let's call someone stronger.
The Flash: If not Superman, who?
*Batman looks ominously into the distance*
Batman: There is only one. And his name is...
Aquaman: No. Surely not. He's out of the business.
Batman: Fat.
Wonderman: No...
Batman.: Cavill.
i agree that i was rude and i apologize about that, but i don't like being called stupid, so you started the rudeness first
i agree that henry is really an awesome man and close to being perfect, he has great genes, i went too far with my comments about him
wow thats amazing what happened in 12 years :)
2:57, fucking Russel. Lol
wow, that was great!
Russell Crowe is the fucking man
