Henry Cavill talked in an interview about the toughest action scene he has filmed in his entire career.
On the occasion of the new action-comedy Argylle, Collider conducted an interview with director Matthew Vaughn, as well as actors Catherine O’Hara, Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Henry Cavill.
During this, the Witcher star revealed which action scene was the toughest for him in his entire career.
Here you can see a trailer for the new film Argylle:
Henry Cavill is asked during the interview what the toughest action scene was that the actor has ever filmed in his career.
He replied that it was clearly the helicopter scene in Mission Impossible: Fallout.
While Tom Cruise did the “right thing” by flying the helicopter, while Cavill was just hanging out of the other, it was still a true challenge.
Why was the action scene so tough? “I mean, it was just cold,” Cavill said about the filming. It also required quite a bit of courage for the stunt.
The actor was only secured by a small harness on a rope, with which he then hung out of the helicopter over the icy mountain landscape.

At first, the actor felt fear, but during the 2nd take, he completely trusted the harness and leaned completely out of the helicopter.
He commented: “I mean, it’s probably not a good idea, but I’m here now, so I think it’s okay. But it’s amazing how you stop being afraid once you trust that harness.”
