First things first, folks. If you haven't seen Mission: Impossible – Fallout yet, do yourself a favor and remedy that, like, now. But only if you like fun, action-packed movies with plot twists and Henry Cavill's glorious arms.
Now, about Cavill. People have noticed something KINDA WEIRD happening in the scene where he ~reloads~ his arms.
Specifically, it looks like he grows his beard and ALSO a shirt pocket in just a few seconds?!
There’s a scene in Mission Impossible: Fallout @MissionFilm in which Henry Cavill has a growing in beard, then he doesn’t, then he does again. In... seconds. I thought I was imagining it. But then I saw this thing where his shirt grows a pocket and... 🙄😒 https://t.co/WfgV7x3ovg
In fact, this phenomenon was noted before the movie even came out by redditor u/1vergil.
Here's a GIF on repeat for your viewing pleasure:
Some people on Twitter chalk it up to Cavill being a ~superhero~.
Henry Cavill cocked his arms then grew a beard and manifested a shirt pocket. THIS is why he is Superman. https://t.co/xCOgqaHI9h
While others would like science to explain (please!).
Should @asapscience try to explain why when Henry Cavill reloads his arms he grows more beard? Or should we just move on with life. https://t.co/Ah0M3e27ua
Either way, people CANNOT stop watching.
Someone pointed out Henry Cavill seems to grow more beard when he reloads his arms and now I can't stop watching, confused by how it seems so right https://t.co/qBrNqM5ClD
We know Cavill's face is no stranger to a little CGI alteration, like when his mustache magically disappeared in Justice League.
JUSTICE LEAGUE EXEC: We can just CGI Henry Cavill’s mustache out it will be fine and not look weird at all HENRY CAVILL: https://t.co/Ag41j6LbPn
But I don't THINK that's what's happening here. Like, why would they even need to do that, ya know?
Cavill himself has actually seen the GIF and told Fox 32 News, "It's because I punch SO hard when reloading my fists that I actually grew a beard in that moment. I made facial hair history."
There's probably some BORING explanation like "weird lighting" but...come on, we can't totally rule out witchcraft either, right?
