Keep reading to fall even more in love with this down-to-earth duo.
They had to work their way up the ladder just like every other successful Hollywood actor.
This means that they've had some pretty awful auditions...
"I walked in the room, and there were Seth and the director and a producer, and for some reason, my brain just started shrieking, just screaming, 'No, no, no,'" the actor recalled to Backstage.
"Mid-audition, I said, 'I’m sorry, guys. I’m sorry. I’ve got to stop.' It’s even worse because they were incredibly nice about it, like, 'No, it was great. You were doing great.'"
"I said, 'Let me just go to the hallway and collect my thoughts.' I go into the hallway, I collect my thoughts. I’m laughing at myself. Go back in, we start up again, and it [expletive] happens again. My face just goes so red. I start sweating and I have to stop again."
"I say, 'That was a [expletive] nightmare. Whether I get this movie or not, I can’t let that be the last taste they have in their mouths. I’ve got to come back tomorrow and do this again. You’ve got to get me back there. I’ve got to do it again.'"
When the actor auditioned again a few days later, the same situation happened.
"There’s a wave of heat and sweat and I had to stop again," he said.
Since the actor has always been vocal about anxiety, it could have just been that.
“I do struggle. I get anxiety about certain things and press, things like that," he shared in 2019.
"You feel very judged," he admitted to The Hollywood Reporter.
"And you're a little unsure about who you are".
Henry Cavill, aka Superman and also Geralt of Rivia on The Witcher, has also experienced a very bad audition.
"We met many years ago, I believe it was 2003. You were casting for 'The Lion in Winter' and I had been acting for three years at that stage," Henry began.
"I left school one year early. I was extremely nervous to audition in front of an actor of your caliber. I went in to the audition and I had spent weeks learning my lines."
"By the time I had gotten in there, I had whipped myself into such a frenzy that I completely flubbed the audition. I didn't remember my lines, and I forgot how to act."
"You were very gracious and you said, 'Thank you very much.' It was clear to me that I was not going to be getting this role. So, I called my agent and told them as much."
Henry took the same approach as Evans: he decided to get back in there and audition again.
"So, my agent arranged for me to go back in and you said yes... I did another audition and it went far better."
"You gave me very kind words and you said, 'I'm so glad that you came back in.' That gave me such strength throughout my career and I've never forgotten it."
