“I met him actually after the movie was done, months later. I gave him a big hug. You know, it’s Henry Cavill, man! Our Man of Steel. He is kind and very proper, and it was a great experience,” she continued.
“I asked him, ‘Did I make you proud, cuz? Does Superman approve?’” Calle added.
“And he was like, ‘Absolutely. You did a phenomenal job.’ I think, to me, that meant the world, because it’s Henry Cavill, Man of Steel,” she gushed.
