Henry Cavill just shared a reel on Instagram in his second episode of Moustache,where he is collaborating with Googlebook. To showcase the power of the laptop, Henry Cavill is making a video game with the help of AI.
However, during his reel, the actor made a cheeky nod (and an honor) to one of his most iconic movies of all time, Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Check out the reel below:
The actor talks about adding an “arm reload” to his in-game character (called moustachioed hero) and giving him a bigger moustache after he reloads his arms. Well, that’s quite a cheeky nod to Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
Henry Cavill Gives a Major Throwback To His Iconic 2018 Film
During the reel, Henry Cavill asks Google’s AI to add a character animation from the video that he was going to share with it. Standing up, Cavill does his famous “arm reload” motion as seen in Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
This animation was added to his in-game character, and Cavill asked the AI to enlarge the hero’s moustache.
And give him bigger muscles, bigger moustache, and a pocket. If you know, you know.
Cavill’s straight dead-pan look into the camera while saying “If you know, you know”is a reference to when Cavill magically grew a beard when he reloaded his arms in the 2018 Tom Cruise movie. In fact, the scene was so shocking that even Tom Cruise had to look twice.
Henry Cavill’s Famous “Arm Reload” Scene Made Tom Cruise Look Twice
In the 2018 movie, there’s a weird glitch where, when Henry Cavill reloads his arms in the famous bathroom fight, he magically appears to grow a beard in the same scene!
Tom Cruise once shared in an interview that he looked at that particular segment over and over in the editing room. Cavill’s character suddenly grows a beard and a pocket on his shirt (which the actor referenced in his recent reel), and Tom Cruise couldn’t possibly explain it
I tell you. We looked at that over and over. In rushes, in the editing room. We’re going, ‘How did you do that, Henry?’ Okay, he’s so talented that he can do that. I saw that tape and I was like ‘This… is awesome’.
The iconic arm-reloading scene became so famous that the actor still gets teased about it to this day. Naturally, it wasn’t a surprising thing when Henry Cavill referenced that scene during his reel as a cheeky nod to his god-like abilities.
