He is an actor ..... and its a made up story so he was just doing his job. Seriously 95% percent of stories celebrities tell on publicity junkets for movies are made up and simply to draw attention to the movie. His flawless delivery of the story is not an accident - it was rehearsed probably more thoroughly then his lines for the movie.

He is a great storyteller.
Russel Crowe could read the ingredients of a cereal box and people would listen. The man can hold a room.
Just look at Henry when Russell's telling the story. He looks so proud and nostalgic it makes my heart swell with feels X3
"You were morbidly obese, you could have died." Hahaa, I love Graham :')

Do you still watch the show?
Russell Crowe is so charismatic ! From the moment he opens his mouth everybody shuts up and listens to him
You can verify this, but Russell Crow has done this for more than just the two kids in the story, Russell Crowe once saw a small boy try to skateboard but he wasn't too good at it, and he looked discouraged, and apparently on a walk while taking a break from his shoot he saw this happen, the kid was trying to do it for hours and by the end he was almost in tears, Russell walked up to the kid and told him "The time you spend working hard today, will make you so skilled that when you work it will look like you are hardly working." That kid grew up to be Tony Hawk!
it's a small world after all :) oh and I really love the look on Henry's eyes while Russell Crowe was telling the story...

The same look of this little kid and the same respect and admiration to his movie idol
Crowe is a great story teller. In the beginning, all we know about the advice is that it was truthful and then it's revealed at the end XD
They pay you well but they treat you like shit -Russell Crowe

You know this story was made up right ? Its a story for the publicity tour to give them something to talk about on TV shows. Its not actually real :)
Mr. Crowe is one of my favorite actors of all-time!!!

"They pay you pretty well, but they treat you like shit." Kinda heartbreaking considering how Warner Bros treated him as Superman.
That subtle node by russel on 2:57 and crowd shut up , damn
Crowe's a great story teller. I've heard him (and Cavill) tell this story many times, and each times he's added something to it to make it a little more awesome. This is the first time he mentioned the other kid, Merlin, and what he went on to do.
Russell is such a gent. Sending something with words of wisdom to a boy you only met once in passing. What a great guy. Crazy story. What are the odds? I'd guess that he probably quietly did many amazing things for people that no one will ever know about
Russell Crowe is such a gentleman, you can see how much Henry looks up to him. Charming story!
Russel Crowe's voice is amazing.

"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?" by a beautiful story of course...
That's true. He even kickstarted Hugh Jackman's career by suggesting him for Wolverine.
The look in Cavill's face when Russels telling the story.
Bloody love this story and also great how Cavill even when shooting the film together with Ruseell crowe never mentioned it until russell crowe actually mentioned to him. Top bloke!
Henry's teary eyes, i can't...
Amazing what an effect a small moment and a chance encounter can have on a young mind isn't it?
Russell sending these kids gifts- what a nice guy.
Imagine calling Henry Cavil fat in the middle school and then calling himself his proud classmate during the premiers.
that was a really nice story.
"Okay, so you were ENORMOUSLY at 13" "I don't know about ENORMOUSLY fat." 'You were morbidly obese, you could have died" Hahaha I can't stop, that was brilliant!
I love how Henry doesn't feel ashamed whatsoever of his childhood nickname. And for those who called him that, shame on you but it doesn't matter because look where he is and where you are now?

I mean my friends called me fat but it was not in a teasing way. You kind of know when its in a negative way. And i was infact FAT so..
That’s just crazy; funny how real-life sometimes is stranger than art. It also goes to show how just a small word of encouragement from someone at the top can change someone’s destiny, not only for Cavill’s but the other kid he mentions too.
This story and hugh jackman remembering his gym student must be so cool for the recipients ! I think there might be a few others....
This is why "The Graham Norton Show" is the best talk show.
When Henry Cavill met Russell Crowe ❤❤🎉🎉 save me
Moral of the story: Be good to people, cause you don't know tomorrow
Graham *interrupting* "You were morbidly obese, you could've died." BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA x'D!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Henry looked like he was about to tear up
Russell Crowe is a great storyteller!
A good actor, a good director, a good writer, a good speaker must--necessarily, above all the rest, be a good story teller.
Cavill is perfection. I can't even . Omg
You can see Henry is looking up to him
I love that it came full circle. They would both be casted in Superman and they would work together.
So a young boy decides to join the army and later becomes a security officer back home afterwards all because Russell Crowe gave him a photo from one of his best movies with words of encouragement on it. True heroes will always be those who humbly show kindness and inspire others to be the best, especially when they don’t even know what it will lead to. 7 years ago, I was walking on a beach to see a piping plover nesting sight when I met two other men doing the same to photograph it. We all talked for a while and by the time we parted ways they told me they were retired navy veterans. That thought stuck with me all day and 5 years later, after careful planning, I joined the Navy. It was all because I was inspired by 2 bird photographers who didn’t know what they created. Thank You!!!
Henry Cavill - My Superman( love him) Russell Crowe - Gorgeous!!!
This interview was great. Thanks for posting!
"My name was indeed Cavill, and I was indeed fat" - I love how he said that.
Russell is such a great storyteller! I want to listen to him, all day!
Even though I'm not British, Graham Norton is where I go when times are rough and I need a good laugh. American talk show hosts could take a leaf from his book.

Yeah man, it's easy going and not in your face. Graham has a great Irish wit too. I think the celebs enjoy it as well.
Basically, I think we can all conclude from this that Russell Crowe is some sort of lucky charm.
Thanks for posting.
Wow!!! Cavill even wooed Russel Crowe with his charm.
In an American talk show Russell Crowe and would have been stopped at least ten times for this Graham Norton is the best talk show in the world IMHO.
I just realized Cavill gave Crowe a job. Full circle
This is such an excellent story!!
Such a great story
Very cool story. No such thing as coincidence. ❤️
What an incredible story!!
Cavill = DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUS!!! Ahhhh!
my gosh I could write a entire text about how perfect is Henry Cavill, he is... Yep, PERFECT!
i love him. can't wait to see the movie.
love this story
I have the feeling Russel Crowe is a hidden Tom Hanks. That means that he is actually a celebrity that would live next door and would just ring the bell if he happens to run out of sugar
He's great, the movie was amazing!
I'm so happy about this
loving henry :)
One hell of a story 🙌🏼
Henry is so James Bond 😍
awwwww ;') right in the feeeelss
Russell Crowe is a raconteur par excellance
Classy and fun.
wow, that was great!
Every time I hear Russel tell this story it's the same :P
Henry = Perfection
Just got home from watching this! its amazing!! Everyone should see Man Of Steel!!!!
whoever called henry cavil fat better apologize.

I first saw Henry in Count of Monte Cristo. He was supposed to play Edward in Twilight too.
Russell crowe's voice is so deep and easy on the ear that I can listen to him all day. 😇😌
LOL! That is awesome!!
Cavill is so beautiful. Crowe is my dad.
It's crazy how Russell said they worked together for months before he asked him if he knew him omfg that would've been the FIRST thing I said on set lmao
Happens to the best of us.
The Great British Smile :)
love it
Most handsome man on the planet
Just imagine two English private school school boys. One joins the army and one becomes an actor. Whatever next? Private school boys dominating the corridors of power and all aspects of the arts in this country?
Is there a video of it??? :D
Aww :)
The movie is EPIC 4 real I say it is one of the best movies I have ever seen, go see it. you have to experience it in 3D.
Russell Crowe is the king.
wow thats amazing what happened in 12 years :)
Haha, sick guy
Life’s a trip
Nice story.
Henry cavill remind of the guy from the 50 Shades (supposedly) movie
Russell Crowe is the fucking man
