Henry is know as quite a geek among his fans and you've probably heard the story of how he missed his first Superman casting because he was too busy playing Warcraft.

Back on Easter, the actor shared a picture of himself painting a miniature figurine with the caption: “Considering we are, both, going through the Easter period, and going through The Lockdown, I figured it a good time to put a silver lining onto the cloud that is some of the darker moments during this time. So I've decided to polish some old skills and try my hand at some new ones! It is a time of rebirth after all. So, as you can see here, the obvious might look a little bit like a tiny helmet...which it is. One of my almost life long hobbies, that I've been following but not actively doing, is this. A company called Games Workshop...or plastic crack as 'we' call it. Genuinely can't get enough of the lore they have built over the decades. They have been some of my most enthused reads! If you were in denial about me being a geek before, you can't hide from it now. Also, in the background of this photo, there may just be some completely new skills I'm working on.....or there may not be, so all of your eye squinting and attempts at digital unfocusing will be in vain....orrrr maybe they won't.”

“I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank, from the bottom of my heart, all of the NHS (National Health Service, here in the UK) and healthcare workers worldwide, for your unceasing efforts to protect us," added the actor. "I imagine it might be feeling a little rough right now, but you Ladies and Gents are absolutely smashing it! Keep it up! You got this. 'Hold on a second,' I hear you utter.....'if he has both hands in the photo...how is he taking the photo??' New skills, my friends....new skills,” he added.

According to Peter Thuborg of Age of Miniatures, painting Warhammer figurines can be challenging. "The number of options and pitfalls are staggering and most never people actually finish the projects they start. In order to succeed, it is very important for you to have a clear idea of what it is you want to achieve,” explained the man. He suggests choosing a paint scheme in advance and doing a test model if possible.
