In the 1978 ‘Superman’ movie, Smallville has consistently been portrayed as located in Kansas in most stories about Clark Kent. This cinematic choice has not only become a crucial aspect of Superman lore but has also served as a connection to the ‘Man of Steel’ actor. As it turns out, Henry Cavill has identified himself to be the Kansas City Chiefs fan.
Although, he’s expressed his love for the team on many occasions, he’s done it again in a recent interview. He also talked about the thing he had in “common” with Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift. Moreover, he also talked about being open to the idea of being a ‘Swiftie’, just in case.

The actor pondered the idea of meeting the real Elly Conway, initially misinterpreting the question as referring to Taylor Swift herself. The banter continued as the reporter inquired if Cavill was a Swiftie, to which he humorously questioned if he’d be allowed into the fan camp. Then he mentioned the common thing that he shared with Swift, he said, “I’m a Chiefs fan, so we have that in common.”
And about being the part of the ‘Swiftie’ group, he hoped, “Maybe there’s a senior section to get in there.” However, this is not the first time Cavill has accepted his love for the Kansas City Chiefs. As even before this in an interview, he’s talked about being a fan of the Chiefs.
