“I used to really want Henry Cavill. I think he’s so hot. But I met him, and he was so awkward. It was like, ‘This would be weird,’” the “Girls Trip” star admitted to the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Thursday.
Haddish, 44, then playfully described the “Superman” star, 40, as a nerd, theorizing that he would “be more comfortable” talking about the fantasy game “Dungeons & Dragons.”

“Or, maybe he’s just never had a black woman be like, ‘What’s up? What’s your credit score? Do you like spaghetti? I’ll cook for you. Are you afraid of South Central or not?’ But he’s still beautiful,” she continued.
The stand-up comedian did not elaborate on where she met Cavill or how long ago, nor did his rep return Page Six’s request for comment.
Haddish shared the confession while talking about her love life and “all the famous guys” she “would love to do.”
“I know them now, and I’m like, ‘No,’” she shared without naming any other men.

Haddish has not been in a public relationship since splitting from Common in 2021.
“We had a real healthy and loving relationship. It was probably the most mature relationship I’ve been in. The communication, the respect, just all around, man,” the rapper, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, said in a December 2021 episode of “Hollywood Unlocked Uncensored.”
Just a few weeks later, the “Afterparty” star appeared on the same podcast and confessed she was “very disappointed” with Common’s comments because that was not “what [he] told [her].”

“He might be the type of person that never really settles with somebody. Maybe he’s like, you know, like a bee going from flower to flower to flower,” she said at the time.
“I don’t know. I wish him nothing but joy and happiness, you know. He will always be cool.”
Common has since moved on, confirming in January that he is in a “happy” relationship with Jennifer Hudson.
