Jimmy Kimmel staged a gag skit with Batman v Superman star Henry Cavill on Thursday in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
“The show is on in bars, and you can’t really hear what’s going on,” Kimmel said to Cavill. “So if you’ll indulge me, I’d like you to punch me in slow motion. I’ll go flying back that way, and then we’ll play it back in fast motion, and it’ll hopefully freak everybody out.”
Cavill played along and appeared to pack a mean punch causing the host to slid back and break the backdrop. He then took his own fake beating from Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo.
Cavill also joked about working with Ben Affleck on set, admitting that they really hated each other. “I just didn’t like him,” Cavill said, kidding around. “Genuine dislike. Sometimes that happens,” he added. “Then you become lovers, and make videos with each other.”
Batman v Superman hits theaters March 25.
