Henry Cavill probably could’ve used Superman’s help aftergetting locked out of his hotel room – naked! The dreamy Dawn of Justice star dropped by Late Night where he recounted the embarrassing incident to host SethMeyers.
Shortly after getting cast in the 2013 flick Man of Steel,Henry flew to Los Angeles to meet with the film’s director Zack Snyder and his newpersonal trainer. After “one” celebratory drink with his agent he said, “I passed out a bit jet-lagged and I woke up to the sound of my door closing, my hotel room. Ofcourse, I then realized that I was on the outside of my door and I had noclothes on."

The Late Night host joked, "This story's a dreamfor me!"
In his dreamy state, the actor woke up to go to therestroom, however the hotel room's layout proved to be a problem. He explained, “[I] just wentstraight for the first door I saw and woke up completely naked in the hallway.Thinking naked in the hallway is a pretty big problem, but I needed to pee andI was desperately thinking, 'Where am I going to pee?'"
"So naked was secondary for you at thispoint?" Seth interjected.

“At this stage, very secondary," Henry responded. After looking up and down the hallway and checking plant pots, the32-year-old went up a fire escape in pursuit of a bathroom. He explained, “I ran up the fire escape to the roofand it turned out to be a tennis court, which was all closed off and I couldn'tget anywhere. This was around 3 a.m. I then thought, 'I've got to pee. This isgetting bad now.' So, I just peed off the top of the hotel. I felt like alittle boy again.”
And while he might have relieved one problem the Batman v Superman star admitted, “Then it dawned on me that I still hadn't quite solved the problem because I was locked outside my hotel room naked and on the roof now."

At that point Henry realized he was out options and made his was to the lobby, naked. “I thenthought, 'You know what? You've just got to suck it up, get downstairs and askfor your key,’” he said. "I walked into thereception. I said to the receptionist, 'This is really embarrassing. I lockedmyself out of my hotel room and can I have my key to get back in.' And he says,'Yeah, of course. What room are you in?' Doesn't bat an eye! Doesn't even lookup. And I was thinking, 'How often does this happen at this hotel? Why have Imet no one else in the hallway at this stage, high-fiving naked dudes walkingpast?'”
The Dawn of Justice actor added, “I didn'tsleep for the rest of that night and I was pretty sure I was going to have beencaught on camera and lost the job.”
Clearly the embracing incident didn't cost Henry the superhero gig and it even proved to be a learningexperience for him. He reveled, "I now put chairs up against thedoors of every hotel I sleep in.”
