10 Worst Times Movie Actors Were Combined With CGI

9. Henry Cavill - Justice League

If you were to make a list of the most famous moustaches in history, Henry Cavill's thick streak of facial hair - which he grew for his role in Mission Impossible Fallout - would easily be a top five contender.

The moustache made headlines in 2017, when it was reported that Cavill was not allowed to shave it off to play Superman in Justice League's reshoots. The actor was also shooting Fallout around this same time, and since he required the moustache for that film, Paramount said he had to keep it. This caused major headaches for Warner Bros and Justice League, with the production forced to digitally remove the moustache instead.

That might sound simple to pull off, but with the crew on a tight schedule, there just wasn't enough time to perfect the effect. As a result, Cavill's upper lip was an absolute monstrosity in the final film, a blurry CGI smudge that did adequately mask the moustache, but forgot to leave a real face behind in the process.

The only positive here is that, in the non-reshoots scenes, Cavill's face looks normal. That didn't stop him from becoming an overnight meme, though.
