Henry Cavill, famous for playing Superman, has revealed that he once became aroused during a s** scene he was filming.

The incident occurred during the filming of a scene in a period drama, during which he was acting opposite a co-star with “spectacular breasts”.

Cavill failed to “arrange himself into a harmless position” and became aroused during the scene.

“A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn’t rearranged my stuff into a harmless position.

She’s basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard,” he said.

The incident was “very embarrassing” and he apologised to his co-star afterwards.

“It’s not great when you’re in a professional acting environment and somebody gets a boner, is it? No, not acceptable,” he added.

Cavill, who is starring in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film, has also said that he finds s** scenes uncomfortable to film.

“You don’t think of s** scenes as showing your bum to the nation,” he said.

“It’s actually acutely uncomfortable being n/ked in a roomful of people.

“The very last thing it is is s**y.

“The actual physicality is very uncomfortable.

“All you’re doing is smacking your nuts against someone, and nothing is going in.”

This is not the first time that Cavill has spoken about his experiences of filming s** scenes.

In 2011, he spoke to Vanity Fair about how uncomfortable he found it.

“I’m not an easygoing guy when it comes to this stuff,” he said.

“I’m very conservative. I don’t even like taking my shirt off in public.

“I’d much rather not be n/ked in front of other people.”

Cavill also spoke about how he was once punched in the face while filming a s** scene, an incident that left him with a broken nose.

Cavill is not the first actor to have spoken out about the difficulties of filming s** scenes.

Actress Kate Winslet has spoken about how uncomfortable she finds them, and how she has to steel herself before filming them.

“I hate it, I hate it,” she said.

“You have to be brave and get on with it, but it’s not easy.” Similarly, actress Kirsten Dunst has said that she finds s** scenes “weird” and “uncomfortable”.

“It’s just not a normal thing to do,” she said.

s** scenes can be difficult to film for a variety of reasons.

Actors may feel exposed and vulnerable, and may also find it difficult to maintain their focus during the scene.

They may also have concerns about their physical appearance, and may feel self-conscious about the fact that they are being watched by a large number of people.

In order to make the process easier, some actors choose to use body doubles or to wear modesty patches.

Cavill recently starred in the TV series The Witcher, and is set to star in the forthcoming Enola Holmes sequel.

He has also been tipped to take over the role of James Bond from Daniel Craig, although he has played down these rumours.

“If Barbara [Broccoli, the producer of the Bond films] and Mike [Michael G. Wilson, the co-producer] were interested in that, I would absolutely jump at the opportunity,” he said.

“At this stage, it’s all up in the air. We’ll see what happens.”
