Even on the set of The Ministry of War Ungentlemanly, Henry Cavill is a gentleman.
Alex Pettyfer, one of his teammates, proved it by revealing that Cavill, 40, kept his life filming going.
“He saved me from a boat crash,” Pettyfer, 33, revealed in a recent Entertainment Tonight interview with the film’s stars. “I almost drowned! So I can officially say that I saved through Henry. And I’m very grateful to be able to be in this movie with [him]. “
“By the way, it’s been an honor to be in this movie with you,” Pettyfer added, addressing Cavill. “Because it’s a learning curve to see how No. 1 [on the call sheet] treats all the cast members. “and the team. Two weeks before we started filming, I received an email from this guy that said, “I’m excited to collaborate with you. “
Cavill and Pettyfer join Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, Eiza Gonzalez and Hero Fiennes Tiffin in the Guy Ritchie-directed film, based on Damien Lewis’ 2014 book, Churchill’s Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperados of WWII. This is a fictionalized account of Operation Postmaster, a World War II British operation to steal Axis ships on the Spanish island of Fernando Po.
“Gentleman is the right word, that’s for sure,” Tiffin, 26, said of Cavill. “And that’s because he has an unwavering commitment to the cause, energy, consistency and humor. “Everyone wake up and keep the momentum going.
Gonzalez, 34, has joined the pro-Cavill group. He told Entertainment Weekly that he’d love to see his co-star play James Bond.
“To be honest, it’s hard not to look at Henry Cavill and think of James Bond,” Gonzalez said. “Obviously, I’m part of other people’s organization that needs him to get it, if that’s a possibility. “
Daniel Craig beat Cavill for the role in 2006 and Aaron Taylor-Johnson would be next on the list, but EW reports that no formal offer has been made.
