In response to a question about how #MeToo affected him, Cavill noted that while society “had to change” regarding how it treats women, the new environment has made him hesitant about “chasing a lady.”
Fans backed Cavill’s remarks, claiming that the #MeToo movement has made dating a “minefield,”, especially for Hollywood celebrities navigating the post-Weinstein age.
In response to the uproar, Cavill issued the following statement to CNN: “Having seen the reaction to a piece about my thoughts on dating and the #metoo movement, I just wanted to apologize for any confusion and misunderstanding that this may have produced.”
During the magazine interview, the ‘Man of Steel star was hesitant about approaching women “because I’m going to be called a rapist or something.”
