Nah, it's Tom hopper is the perfect Carrot. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sca_esv=ebc234f9216407d8&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn086u6CZ6ssVzUpQopuLn3SOHVWnpw:1712326417843&q=tom+hopper&uds=AMwkrPt4t1EVCCdSUNw8MsX-M3cqGFpilA9evuvFD7Qt1ux_EpgU_r5C52v_h4TrwdgRJ7bDPevcRgleImF2ZD8QiywTR5WHGOil7lWHlkD6FeIZNwpPzT93mN8iUuttf-b4og44jZIF8Cp_HJI2CTZsOKv0XyKptRkXkYvGNr60_V9LN_vp15ol5TC9e08qBF7yQsQVTLnAx1tR4Z6UrCKq_aNUJlPHKOnxbAYfP766CTJuxhSj12QoBsLntkrFl6_cMaLz8WlE&udm=2&prmd=ivnbz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiZ1P_-oKuFAxV9XUEAHbG4B50QtKgLegQICxAB&biw=384&bih=1032&dpr=1.88#vhid=JBNu3OVcPnCQ4M&vssid=mosaic

nc0air · 2024-04-05T14:23:28+00:00

I always thought Brendan Fraser in his George Of The Jungle era would have been perfect for Carrot

aethelberga · 2024-04-05T14:25:23+00:00

In my head canon it's always been Paul Gross from Due South, but he's seriously aged out of the part. I've hit an age now that multiple mental casts across several fandoms have aged out more than once.

No-Scarcity2379 · 2024-04-05T14:39:45+00:00

Tom Hopper has the same build, but plays the naif that Carrot at least outwardly portrays far better than I've ever seen out of Cavill.

KDurin · 2024-04-05T14:34:26+00:00

Tom Hopper has been my Carrot for almost a decade, so I can’t shift that now. That being said, I’d happily watch Henry Cavill stand and read a phone book so 🤷‍♀️ He’d make a great Greebo

mrdankhimself_ · 2024-04-05T15:50:24+00:00

I always picture Wayne from Letterkenny as Carrot, but jolly.

captain-carrot · 2024-04-05T15:41:25+00:00

Henry cavill looks nothing like me

Sergeant_Fred_Colon · 2024-04-05T15:44:55+00:00

Isn't he quite tall for a dwarf?

ChaoticIndifferent · 2024-04-05T14:38:45+00:00

I always pictured him as a very buff, younger Thomas Hayden Church. I think he could play a very good big hearted and well meaning, if the tiniest bit dim kind of guy. I always felt Cavill brought the very boring cookie cutter and bereft of a discernible personality type of portrayal Superman demands of an actor, but no more. Maybe he has the range. I don't know. I don't recall seeing him elsewhere.

Ptarmigan2 · 2024-04-05T15:26:01+00:00

Alan Ritchson (Reacher)?

LaraH39 · 2024-04-05T22:55:11+00:00

I'd rather not if you don't mind. He's not a good guy unfortunately.

Pretty sexist, misogynistic... Its why he's not in the witcher any more and during the "me too" movement he said some stupid things.

LothorBrune · 2024-04-05T14:15:21+00:00

A young guy who can act would be preferable, in my opinion.

RafRafRafRaf · 2024-04-05T14:43:59+00:00

He’s suitably pretty, sure, but he’s 20 years too old and too slim built, to boot.

Bruscarbad · 2024-04-05T16:54:53+00:00

HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE SAY NO

Appropriate_Mine · 2024-04-05T15:20:10+00:00

I always imagined him as a more muscular Ritchie Cunningham

nabnabking · 2024-04-05T19:08:19+00:00

I think he would be but he's a little old now. Slightly more age appropriate would he Connor Swindells from sex education. I think he has the same naive demeanor as I associate with carrot.

_StruggleOnStruggler · 2024-04-05T14:42:18+00:00

No…

MtnNerd · 2024-04-05T19:50:14+00:00

I like Cavill, but I've always pictured Carrot as a bigger guy with red hair.

Echo-Azure · 2024-04-05T17:32:30+00:00

Henry Cavill admits to being forty years old, and Carrot is very young when he arrives in Ankh-Morpork.

Twenty years ago, I would have agreed with the casting.

vincentofearth · 2024-04-05T18:45:49+00:00

Way too old and famous now

NT-W · 2024-04-05T14:55:03+00:00

Isn't he meant to be like, 20 or something?

usedtobeathrowaway94 · 2024-04-05T14:08:23+00:00

Can we not have him infiltrate every fandom. I know I'm being negative here just wile tired of the odd parasocial relationships the Warhammer subs have fostered

elgarraz · 2024-04-05T15:51:22+00:00

Alexander Ludwig would be a really good fit. I don't think Cavill is the right age, and he comes off a little too worldly for Carrot

lettiestohelit · 2024-04-05T14:27:20+00:00

Id rather Matt bomer, he can actually act and seems princely

hsentar · 2024-04-05T13:54:24+00:00

YES! Man of steel Cavill would be perfect.

QueenSashimi · 2024-04-05T15:10:12+00:00

I actually think Connor Swindells would be a great Carrot.

These-Ice-1035 · 2024-04-05T21:24:06+00:00

Too old. The problem is that the books and characters emerged over a good two decades.

In Guards! Guards! When Carrot first appears he is barely sixteen years old. Is an actor were playing him, maybe a 20 years old could do that. But whilst I love Henry, at 40 playing someone more than half his age might be a stretch. At least for those earlier books.

aaron_adams · 2024-04-05T23:42:04+00:00

I mean, I think he has the build for it, so if his hair was cut short and dyed, I think he could pull it off. Personally, tho, I think he'd make a better Vimes, with the quiet brooding character archetype.

AppropriateTouching · 2024-04-06T01:35:44+00:00

Conan O'Brien

Adampicz · 2024-04-06T04:14:19+00:00

He has that jaw but I can’t see him with that wide eyed innocence that would be a death sentence for anyone else in AM. What about Allan Tudyk? He might be a little old for young carrot but he could pull it off.

<image>

elphinstone · 2024-04-05T19:06:27+00:00

I see John Cena as carrot

TsundokuAfficionado · 2024-04-05T16:05:17+00:00

He has some Me Too stuff, so it’s a No from me.

thebaddads · 2024-04-05T14:32:04+00:00

Henry cavill had the acting chops of a block of wood.

Meloenbolletjeslepel · 2024-04-05T16:20:22+00:00

Henry with red hair though?

OletheNorse · 2024-04-05T19:16:31+00:00

I see him more as Drumknott - since Michael Caine is getting a bit too old

ConfusedStageLeft · 2024-04-05T19:33:33+00:00

Without ever having considered this I feel like it was always his face in my minds eye if that makes sense.

trashed_culture · 2024-04-05T20:23:19+00:00

This picture (with red hair of course) is exactly what I picture when I think of Carrot.

Acting wise I just don't know. I'm used to Cavill playing very serious gruff types.

Fireyjon · 2024-04-05T20:35:19+00:00

I like the idea of Cavill as Carrot but I would insist they do some movie makeup thing to make his hair red. (It’s just how I always pictured carrot)

uberdaveyj · 2024-04-05T20:43:16+00:00

Jared Keeso if he could lose the accent.

BruteGunray · 2024-04-06T02:44:42+00:00

I was thinking who would be the perfect Carrot and then saw this news article: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/game-of-thrones-hedge-knight-dunk-and-egg-cast-1235867446/

Never heard of Peter Claffey before in my life, but looks-wise he seems perfect. I'm curious to see him in a show or a movie now.

why_no_username_guys · 2024-04-06T03:44:19+00:00

So I haven't read any of these books yet but I joined the sub so it would remind me to cause I really want to.

But I was Hella confused about how Henry cavil was a carrot in this picture, I tried looking for other picks and everything.

NyancatOpal · 2024-04-06T05:54:26+00:00

No. Carrot must be red haired. sorry.

fluffykerfuffle3 · 2024-04-06T07:00:01+00:00

Henry Cavill is not innocent enough

fluffykerfuffle3 · 2024-04-06T07:36:50+00:00

: /

it seems many of you think of big body when you think of Carrot but Carrot is more about his ethics, innocence and youth..

i think Carrot would probably be best served by an 'unknown' actor.

VasM85 · 2024-04-06T09:27:44+00:00

Too old now. Carrot is supposed to be young fresh-faced guy. Cavill is 41.

sincarok · 2024-04-06T10:01:44+00:00

Cant disagree

Extension_Phase_1117 · 2024-04-06T15:46:49+00:00

Henry Cavill is so freaking hot. Omfg.

Abraxas_1408 · 2024-04-07T05:24:43+00:00

Oh absolutely

FrisianDude · 2024-04-05T15:01:00+00:00

Dont yall get tired of this boring crap

The_Second_Judge · 2024-04-05T15:18:17+00:00

He would be perfect as Nobby Nobbs!

wdcipher · 2024-04-05T14:08:39+00:00

I feel ashamed I didnt come up with this myself. Hes perfect.

VixenIcaza · 2024-04-05T14:13:55+00:00

How are you gonna have him look Ginger? Shape is right yes, but so is Malmoa. Neither of which are gonna be Carrot coloured.

CastleofGaySkull · 2024-04-05T14:13:59+00:00

I know I’ll get downvoted to oblivion for this but Henry Cavill is a misogynist jerkwad. It would break my heart if someone like that played the lovely (non-sexist) Carrot!

Ptarmigan2 · 2024-04-05T15:31:42+00:00

Matthew MacFayden as Vimes and Nicholas Braun as Carrot.

Thr0w-a-gay · 2024-04-05T17:31:43+00:00

Not every movie has to have a marvel movie cast, like

chatondedanger · 2024-04-05T18:01:46+00:00

I am all for anything Henry Cavil

kobie · 2024-04-05T18:33:33+00:00

Henry Cavill would probably not sigh on for a discworld production

Dramatic-Soup-445 · 2024-04-05T18:57:11+00:00

I would never have believed it otherwise but accompanied by this pic? Yes. Oh yes. But who would be the perfect Angua ?

Environmental-Bit383 · 2024-04-05T19:15:29+00:00

Nobody can beat Joe Dempsie as Carrot for me. Just as nobody can beat Stephen Dillane as Vimes but that's another matter.

<image>

Still, Cavill is a good choice.

Existing-Ostrich7218 · 2024-04-05T15:02:08+00:00

For me its gotta be the guy from fantastic Beasts just with more muscle

twodogsfighting · 2024-04-05T14:22:33+00:00

Henry Cavil s born to play Carrot. He's the right shape and everything.

Ptarmigan2 · 2024-04-05T15:54:02+00:00

Joseph Baena Schwarzenneger - looks the part and some life parallels with Carrot - not sure about acting chops but he could woodenly quote The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities Ankh and Morpork.

onlylightlysarcastic · 2024-04-05T16:13:50+00:00

Sam Heughan would also fit.

Illusivegecko · 2024-04-05T19:47:47+00:00

Has a single person ever watched "The Watch"? I was too afraid to

BadNewsBaguette · 2024-04-05T22:37:10+00:00

Ben Carpenter the fitness influencer as Carrot maybe? He could be a terrible actor but he has that lovely innocence.

TomCrean1916 · 2024-04-05T15:27:05+00:00

As a carrot in my bedroom ya mean.

In me now captain!

He’s so perfect
