Superman actor posits that imagination is a more powerful tool than visualising x scenes
Henry Cavill has opened up about his general dislike of x scenes in film and television.
The 40-year-old actor made the remarks while appearing on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast with his Argylle director Matthew Vaughn.
Argylle, released last week (2 February), casts Cavill as a fictional spy invented by a best-selling author whose creations begin to mirror real-life espionage operations.
“I don’t understand them – I’m not a fan,” Cavill said about s3x scenes. “I think there are circumstances where a s3x scene actually is beneficial to a movie, rather than just the audience, but I think sometimes they’re overused these days.
“It’s when you have a sense where you’re going, ‘Is this really necessary or is it just people with less clothing on?’” he continued. “And that’s when you start to get more uncomfortable and you’re thinking, ‘There’s not a performance here, there’s not a piece which is going to carry through to the rest of the movie’.”
Cavill went on to say that while there are times where “x scenes can be great in a movie” and “can really help with the story telling… most of the time the human imagination is going to trump it. 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’.”
“[I’m] not a fan of doing them,” he reiterated.

Cavill is among a small minority of actors who have admitted their reluctance to film s3x scenes.
Last year, You star Penn Badgley revealed that a “phenomenal reduction” in intimate scenes was made at his request for the Netflix drama’s fourth season.
Badgley added: “Fidelity, in every relationship, and especially my marriage, is important to me.”
Jameela Jamil later admitted to Badgley in an interview that she passed on auditioning for You due to the s3x scenes it required.
“My character was supposed to be quite xy, and I pulled out of the audition, because I am so shy about anything s3xy that I can’t,” she said.
