In light of this I would just like to clarify and confirm to all that I have always and will continue to hold women in the highest of regard, no matter the type of relationship whether it be friendship, professional, or a significant other. Never would I intend to disrespect in any way, shape or form. This experience has taught me a valuable lesson as to the context and the nuance of editorial liberties. I look forward to clarifying my position in the future towards a subject that it so vitally important and in which I wholeheartedly support.” The interview drew backlash from many on twitter, saying that Cavill implied women can not tell the difference between being sexually harassed and being flirted with. > [](https://twitter.com/x6x%5Fbatman%5Fno3/status/1017158966340702209) > [](https://twitter.com/PrettyGirlBeMe/status/1017395307846553601) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5337130/henry-cavill-metoo-gq/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5337130/henry-cavill-metoo-gq/"},"headline":"Henry Cavill Apologizes For #MeToo Comments: 'Insensitivity Was Absolutely Not My Intention'","datePublished":"2018-07-12T17:52:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T20:50:06.883Z","description":"The interview drew backlash from many on twitter, saying that Cavill implied women can not tell the difference between being sexually harassed and being flirted with","url":"https://time.com/5337130/henry-cavill-metoo-gq/","keywords":["entertainment","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt20614308e09757b8/69887e938e0601a18c464b5e/henry-cavill.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Gina Martinez","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/gina-martinez/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt20614308e09757b8/69887e938e0601a18c464b5e/henry-cavill.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"SiriusXM's Town Hall With Guy Ritchie, Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer And Lionel Wigram","caption":"Actor Henry Cavill takes part in SiriusXM's Entertainment Weekly Radio 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'
