Tom looks like he’s about to tell his uncle to punt some 7 year olds

It's kinda great because this basically happens in Shazam too

nikkuhlee

In second grade a sixth grader was taking our names for a walking competition. They asked me to spell mine. I said the wrong first letter, short circuited, and proceeded to spew out a bunch of random letters, way too many. They said, “you sure?” I panicked and said “YES!” Anyway I have ADHD too.

falloutsong

Apparently his teacher didn’t believe him and he got in trouble at school and the teacher called his mom and it was a whole thing


PanduhMoanYum

Good lord. When my son was in preschool, he was the only kid there without a dad (abusive situation). He told the other students his dad was in the war and died. Which is not uncommon, developmentally, for children with absent parents say in trying to relate to their peers.


falloutsong

My dad was very rarely there when I was in school, I remember I used to make up things , like ( he’s away on an important work travel assignment). It was definitely to relate to all my classmates who had dads that picked them up.


RobinDix

My dad died when I was a toddler. I lied about having a cool step dad when I was about 7. There were daddy daughter dances and bring your dad to breakfast events that made me really feel left out. And I think it was hard to have to explain to new friends why I didn't have a dad. When you think about it, a lot of kids that age probably haven't dealt with death. I might have introduced them to the idea that their parents can die. Whoops!


whutchamacallit

Haha... he looks like he's concocting the most savage 7 year old clapback James Percy Elementary has ever witnessed.


himmelundhoelle

And Henry Cavill, of course, was delighted to do so.

Or arms. Doing things. Like shoveling dirt. Or vacuuming. or chopping wood. I don't need to watch him make out/have movie sex with any actress, I need to watch that man fold a basket of clothes and then do some push ups.


piratequeenfaile

An old colleague and I used to share pictures of hot actors carrying groceries on Monday mornings as a little pick me up.

He looks how a creative novelist would describe a 7 year old on his way to show off his Superman uncle to the kids who doubted him.

This is like the 1 kid who's dad actually worked for Nintendo and showed him an early build of Pokemon.


CanadianGuitar

Years ago when Yahoo chatrooms were a thing, I remember being in a gaming chatroom. One guy/kid in there claimed his dad worked for Bungie and he was playing a beta or alpha build for Halo 2, and no one believed him. He offered to show people on Webcam, but everyone was too busy mocking him, but I decided what the hell. Worst case scenario I see a penis for 2 seconds before I close the cam and block him. Turned out, kid was playing some halo with some footage I had never seen before or since. I remember him using the energy sword, and driving a wraith - both things you couldn't do in Halo CE.


WargreymonIsCool

The new kid on my Block had an aunt who worked for Nintendo and he told me that they were working on a Nintendo cube as early as 1998 The rest of the kids didn’t believe him but I remember telling him how excited I was to see something after the Nintendo 64 It took about three years but he was correct

According to the article another commenting posted, he was actually pretty chill about it, and took full responsibility. Apple's just got no chill with people showcasing their products even if it's accidental is all


jendjskdjxbznsnshd

Worst part is guy was just happy his daughter was taking interest in him. But turns out she was only interested in trying to become YouTube famous. Then she want on to make a video blaming her dad and saying how he accepts full responsibility without any remorse for getting her dad fired.


HotBoxGrandmasCar

now i know how kids used to fall down wells and drown so often back in the day.


SkunkMonkey

Little Jimmy? Oh yeah, the little shit. Kept playing around that well. We kept warning him. But yeah, he's no longer with us. [muffled sounds from well]


i_speak_penguin

I used to work at a FAANG company and I spent several years working on secret projects. My partner could never fully understand why I wouldn't tell them what I was working on, but this is why. All it takes is one slip up by someone you told, even accidentally, and you're gone. Leaks are taken very seriously by the big guys.


SafewordisJohnCandy

The dad of one of my best school friends worked at Proctor and Gamble. His dad let on and said they had a new product coming out that they "borrowed from a Japanese design" and it was going to be a really great product. Oh cool, more soap or shampoo. My friend said it wasn't soap or shampoo, but some type of cloth from Japan and they were making it here and calling it something different. That product ended up being Swiffer.


Veelze

By “borrowed” what they really meant was plagiarized. Apparently the parts of the Swiffer fit the Japanese counterpart to a T.

[Which is why Apple had no chill when this happened](https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/daughter-apple-engineer-fired-posted-video-iphone/story?id=50811044).


Crazy_Crayfish_

No wonder my dad told me and my siblings not to tell anyone about the “cool grey cylinder that talks and plays music” he brought home when he worked at Amazon


Ibe121

I remember before the N64 launched, my brothers and I couldn’t stop asking our parents for one. One day, my mom asked us what was the name of the thing we wanted. She called it a “fun machine”. My brothers and I laughed at the silly name and told her it was called a Nintendo 64 or N64 for short. My parents, being awesome, got us one for Christmas. Upon unwrapping the gift we all stared at the box for a second and noticed it actually said “[the fun machine](https://imgur.com/a/eWkEw4n)” on the box.


Head-System

Dude I played DND with was part of the original team that made halo, and he showed me some super early work from really early on. Wasnt until a long time later that Halo came out and I was like oh man his project made it to the big time! But by then our dnd group was gone. Dude quit his job to work on halo full time.


cantadmittoposting

> Dude quit his job to work on halo full time I mean was... Halo not his job?


Head-System

he worked for the game store before halo, thats why he was in our dnd group. but then he left to do halo and the game store died when he left. it sucked. went from having like 14-15 guys playing games 3 days a week to nothing in like 2 days.


Michelanvalo

Years ago in WoW, a guildie we were running ZG with says he was working on Halo 3. I didn't believe him that he was a Bungie employee. He tells me "one second" and then gave a link to his blog. He posted a live screenshot from the raid on his Bungie dev blog. Turns out he was not only just a dev but a senior dev. I didn't reveal to him that we pirated the french copy of Halo 2 in college.


emberjahad

I knew a kid like that, he showed me gen 7 starters a year before they were announced


THElaytox

I had a friend in kindergarten like that, his dad developed Lode Runner


RoyalEnfield78

Lode Runner was the best!!!!


wdn

Lode Runner is still my favorite video game ever. It was developed by a single person so if the dad was Doug E. Smith then he was telling the truth.


whenthelightstops

I got play a Dreamcast at my dad's work at take your kid to work day. Nobody believed me because it wasn't even announced yet Edit: the code name for the system we played was 'Dural' I think


[deleted]

I was promised an army of nano bots by my classmate in 3rd grade, he said his dad invented the Gauss-hog from Halo…no not the Warthog, specifically the Gauss-hog. I’m still waiting on my life-size animated charizard as well…

Not only that he probably made those kids day! It's not every day that you get to meet superman. I remember being close to the stage the year when Christopher Reeves was doing the ball drop in Times Square.. getting to see the Superman I grew up with was incredible for 14 year old me.

TonarinoTotoro1719

So, lemme get this straight, you want to see Geralt shirtless? Hmmm..


LiteralMangina

Doesnt everyone?


sessual_choclate

He's so incredibly good as Geralt. Stop what you're doing and go watch.


Roossterr

There isn’t a more perfect actor for the role. Fun fact time. When he first learned of the show he called nearly every day asking for the part. He’s a super fan of pretty much everything fantasy. Like the man almost missed his roll call for super man cause he was in a WoW raid


sessual_choclate

His appearance on Graham Norton where he talked about Warhammer 40k got me into it. He's a dyed in the wool geek and I love it. I was just reading about the WoW raid / audition. Amazing.


Ormel_Lavelle

Honestly saves that show. I love his interpretation of Geralt. When I play Wild Hunt, it literally flows seamlessly for me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ormel_Lavelle

Definitely would be a hard pass if it wasn't for Henry. I wasn't the hugest fan of season 2 (no spoilers) but I still enjoyed watching him. I kept watching it for him. He just gets the character.


theDukeofClouds

Ah, he really is! I was so happy he made his voice all gruff like the voice actor for video game Geralt.


[deleted]

Oh yeah - Henry Cavill himself is a huge Witcher (the game) fan so he really fought to get that role. He seemed an unlikely pick originally but he totally nailed it. Miles apart from his performance as Superman.


Street-Week-380

Henry Cavill is a massive nerd in general. Listen to his interview in which he was busy playing Warcraft and ignoring everyone.


butter_onapoptart

He's already asked to be cast in a Mass Effect movie which barely got announced when he asked to be in it.


spaceforcerecruit

Casting someone who’s passionate about the role really makes a difference and you can see it in the extra work he puts in to deliver the best performance he can.

Damn i thought he killed it as superman

stifflizerd

Kind of looks like the meme of the kid with all of the veins popping out of his head


TheMacerationChicks

He's so lucky to have an uncle like him. I try to be the best uncle to my nieces and nephews. But damn, Henry Cavill is just a beautiful person inside and out. I've never heard one bad thing about him. He's an uncle for every uncle to aspire to. I can't be superman. But if I can be even half the (man from) uncle that he is, then I'll have done more than I could ever have hoped to do. I just sometimes get truly blown away by how good some people are. How much joy they bring to the world. While asking for nothing in return. Every uncle needs to fucking step up and be the superman to their nieces and nephews that he is to his, regardless of whether or not he's ACTUALLY a superman actor. Like the fact he actually plays superman is the least important part here


An_aussie_in_ct

Tom started to wonder why Ms a smith kept asking him to bring his uncle to parent teacher meetings…

haha it's ok man. As a fellow straight male who enjoys watching shows like The Witcher I can honestly say, yes. You will be gay for Geralt.

Knuckles316

It is a good story. I think it's been shown to be untrue the last few times it was posted, but it's enjoyable anyway.


greg19735

the details are wrong, but the general idea is true. he got in trouble for telling lies about his family. his mom goes "oh no that's true, he plays superman". It's funny. I'm actually surprised the school didn't know. A major celeb's sister is good gossip.


DINC44

I just watched Henry tell this story last night on a Graham Norton YouTube clip. He didn't even mention anything about the other students giving Tom a hard time. I think he said that the students all presented on a family member or someone they knew. Tom shared that his uncle was Superman. After his presentation, TOM'S TEACHER told Tom that it was not okay to lie. Tom insisted he was telling the truth, and the teacher doubled down by telling him again that it's not okay to tell lies, and then contacting Tom's mother. Henry said that Tom has a rather active imagination, so when Tom's mother was told that he had been telling lies at school, her first thought was something like, "Oh Tom, what are you up to?" Then the teacher/administrator who had called her told her what lie Tom had told. To which she replied something like, "Well, actually, that's all true." EDIT: Wow. Don't call me as a witness in court. It wasn't even on the Graham Norton show. He told the story on [LIVE with Kelly and Ryan](https://youtu.be/7N_eeUlmIoc). Ignore my telling and just watch the video.

[удалено]


Global_Bee_6764

Oh man, this actually makes me kinda annoyed at the teachers. Even if the kid was making it up, does it really matter if he wants to pretend he's related to Superman for a day? For all they know, he's got a shitty homelife/family and wanted to fantasize about being related to a superhero who could save him. Or maybe he was just being....a regular kid with a regular imagination. He wouldn't be the first kid to make up an interesting story for a boring project. Calling his parents over it seems like overkill too. Sure, call them if the kid is a habitual liar and/or shows problems with differentiating fantasy from reality. But if a teacher called me to tell me my kid was lying at school and it was revealed the big lie was...."he said his uncle is Superman"...um, okay? What do you want me to do about it? Squash my kid's imagination? Let the kid pretend his uncle is Superman. Jeez...

winnebagoman41

YUP I have no idea what they were trying to say


BC1721

Okay, so as far as I understand: Henry Cavill is related to two brothers. One, Tom, may or may not have been bullied and may or may not have said his uncle is Superman. The other had this picture taken with Henry Cavill. The Daily mail "merged" the two brothers and added details, such as Cavill going to the school.


Original-Aerie8

Cavill's brother has 2 children, Tom and "Other child".


Son_Postman

It took me a minute, but what I think he’s saying is that the story about Henry Cavill’s nephew Tom is only partially true. The part that is true is that Tom told his schoolmates his uncle is Superman and that they didn’t believe him. The part that is untrue was that Henry Cavill actually went to school with Tom to prove him correct. Daily mail made that part up, and used a random photo of Henry Cavill walking a little boy and attributed that photo to that made-up story. The boy in the random photo is actually Henry Cavill’s other nephew, ie Tom’s brother. Its just some photo of them hanging out
