by

Liam Hemsworth is throwing himself into his latest project.

The performer shared a peek with followers about his metamorphosis to embody Geralt of Rivera within The Witcher, a character that was earlier played by Henry Cavill. He did this as he made an appearance on the set of the Netflix production.

In the process of reinventing himself, Liam, aged 35, opted to go from his typical short, brown hair to long, silver tresses. His new style also included a full black outfit, which consisted of a leather jacket, adorned gloves with studs, and knee-high boots.

Back in October 2022, I couldn’t believe my luck when I heard the news that I’d be stepping into the iconic role previously played by Henry for the first three seasons of that captivating fantasy drama we all love! You know, the one where he brought a certain character to life in a way that made us all fall in love with the show.

As I look back on this incredible journey, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. But as I pass the torch to my successor, I want to share some words of wisdom. Remember, every role is an opportunity to grow and learn, so embrace it fully. And most importantly, always stay true to yourself, because in the end, that’s what truly matters. Can’t wait to see what you bring to this beloved world!

Henry penned on Instagram, “Just as one hands over a cherished literary persona, I do so with respect for the journey of becoming Geralt and eagerness to witness Liam’s interpretation. Liam, my friend, this character is rich and complex; delve in and discover its hidden layers.

Despite differing opinions among fans about Netflix’s choice to recast the role, Peter Friedlander, who heads U.S. and Canada scripted series at Netflix, later justified the decision to continue with a new actor.

Back in December, Friedlander expressed enthusiasm to Variety, saying, “There’s a rich tradition of outstanding, memorable characters whose portrayers have shifted, and we’re incredibly hopeful about this change.” He added, “We will remain faithful to the IP, the fans, and the storytelling throughout the process.

The executive lauded Henry as “exceptionally talented in the role of Geralt,” then suggested that Liam would also excel in the same role, being similarly exceptional.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but echo Michelle Yeoh’s excitement about Liam’s portrayal of the medieval monster hunter in The Witcher universe. Having seen her stellar performance in The Witcher: Blood Origin, I’m eagerly anticipating his take on this captivating character.

In simpler terms, the Oscar-winning individual praised Henry for his fantastic work, and they expressed curiosity about what Liam would contribute next, which is only natural.
