Games Workshop Warhammer: Superman Henry Cavill visits Nottingham company

Actor Henry Cavill has visited the Nottingham's Warhammer World after speaking out about his love of Games Workshop's products.

The Superman star previously spoke about his love for the famous Nottingham company during an interview with the BBC's Graham Norton.

When appearing on BBC's Graham Norton ahead of the launch of the second season of The Witcher on Netflix in December, he spoke enthusiastically about his passion for Warhammer.

When asked about what he gets up to in his spare time, Graham stated: "You do fly your nerd flag with pride. One of your hobbies, and he’s got a lot of hobbies ladies and gentlemen, one of your hobbies…"

Henry then interrupted to comment: "Makes me sound weird."

"Well, you do have more hobbies than the average man, I’d say," Graham retorted, before adding: "But you paint World Of War Craft?"

"Warhammer," Henry corrected him.

A number of staff members have posted social media pictures alongside the actor during his recent visit.

Some of those who posted spoke about his love of Warhammer.
