Henry Cavill Gets Katie Couric All Hot And Bothered [Video]

Let’s face it, Henry Cavill is one good looking cut of man. Even veteran television journalist Katie Couric seemed to notice when she sat down with the Man of Steel actor on her daytime talk show Katie.

Couric appeared to get a bit flustered when chatting with Cavill, who plays Clark Kent/Superman in Zack Snyder’s reboot of the DC Comics franchise. At one point, she asked him about his “packaging.”

She did unwittingly illustrate her own point. Couric was asking Cavill (and his co-star Amy Adams) if in Hollywood, some stars are helped along the path to celebrity more by their looks than their talent.

“Women sometimes … There is such a thing as being too ‘ridiculously good-looking,’ as they would say in Zoolander,” Couric noted.

Then she asked, “But do you worry at all, Henry, about it getting in the way of your acting and for people … in terms of people taking you seriously for your craft, instead of your … packaging?” she said, visibly searching for the right word and opting for a Freudian slip instead.

The audience laughed, and Couric saw what she did there. “I said packaging! I said packaging, please,” she said to her giggling studio.

Cavill shot an awkward look to the audience while co-star Adams laughed. He recovered, and delivered a truly humble Superman answer.

“It’s all down to the filmmaker, really. How he or she shoots me and how, you know, I interact with the castmates. You can look any way you want, but your director will make you look however he wants you to look.”

Later in the interview, Adams revealed that her 3-year-old daughter has her very first crush on none other than Cavill.
