Henry Cavill Once Got "Excited" On The Set Of "The Tudors"

Acting can be hard.

Have you ever wondered how male actors can film sex scenes without getting too aroused? Henry Cavill is now proving that sometimes, they can't.

The Man of Steel star admitted to Men's Fitness that he definitely got an erection while filming an intimate scene on the set of The Tudors, and was a bit humiliated.

"It's only happened to me once, and it was very embarrassing," he shared. "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."

Don't feel bad Henry. It's basic anatomy!

But the actor did feel embarrassed and tried to make things right.

"I had to apologize profusely afterward," he added. "It's not great when you're in a professional acting environment and somebody gets a boner, is it? No, not acceptable."

Although he got a little excited on that day, Cavill admits there's usually not a big fear of anything "popping up" because filming a sex scene is normally anything but sexy.

"You don't think of sex scenes as showing your bum to the nation," he shared. "It's actually acutely uncomfortable being naked in a roomful of people. The very last thing it is is sexy. The actual physicality is very uncomfortable. All you're doing is smacking your nuts against someone, and nothing is going in."

Sounds frustrating. But we'd be willing to practice with him for next time!
