The Magic Mike star raved about the actor for his work ethic and teamwork, before detailing the instance where he almost fell off a boat.

"He saved me from falling off a boat,” Pettyfer confessed. “I nearly drowned!”

“So I can officially say I've been saved by Henry. And I'm very grateful to be on this film with you,” he enthused.

The actor continued: "Henry has a way about him where it's about the quality and about coming together and there is no hierarchy. He brings a humbleness to the set with everyone.

He went on to personally address the Witcher alum during the interview, saying, "[To Cavill] It was an amazing honor, by the way, to be on this film with you because it's a learning curve to see how a number one treats everyone in the cast and crew.

“I got an email two weeks before I started filming from this man saying, 'I'm excited to collaborate with you,’” gushed the Endless Love star.

Besides Pettyfer and Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Cary Elwes, and Eiza Gonzáles also star in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, slated for release next month.
