To promote his show, Henry Cavill was invited on the Graham Norton Show, where the actor revealed many things about his character. While the actor is loved on-screen for his physique and stature, the actor revealed some rather surprising secrets about how he prepared for the role. On the show, he revealed that he cut down water for three days for The Witcher. The supernatural story of the show, on the surface, resembles Game of Thrones. The actor said on The Graham Norton Show that to prepare for the shirtless scenes in The Witcher, he would not only just follow a difficult diet, but also stay dehydrated for three days. The actor quickly clarified that he did not go thirsty for three days straight, but reduced his water consumption over the three-day period. Elaborating on the subject, he said that on the first day he would drink one and a half litres, on the second day he would drink half a litre, and then on the third day he would drink no water at all. On the fourth day, he would go on the shoot and get the scene just right.
