When it comes to quirky celebrity traditions, Henry Cavill certainly stands out—especially when it comes to his deep affection for his dog, Bear. In 2017, the Justice League actor went above and beyond to celebrate Thanksgiving in a way that only Cavill could, by throwing a Thanksgiving feast exclusively for his beloved American dog. And what better way to honor Bear’s American roots than with a special treat that’s bound to make every pet owner chuckle?

A Thanksgiving Feast for Bear

Although Henry Cavill himself isn’t from the United States, his four-legged companion, Bear, is. Born in Arkansas, Bear is as American as they come, so Cavill decided it would only be fitting to mark the occasion with a Thanksgiving celebration—just for his pup.

Cavill, known for his charm both on and off the screen, took to Instagram to share the hilarious details of Bear’s special holiday treat. Instead of a traditional turkey, which might have been a bit too much for a dog, Cavill opted for something a little more manageable—a tiny raw chicken.

In his signature humorous style, Henry captioned the post: “While I am not American, my faithful bear is not only American in name but was indeed born in Arkansas so I figured it only proper that he have a Thanksgiving treat!” The actor made it clear that the raw chicken wasn’t for him, adding, “Pretty sure a full turkey might have been a bit much so I went with a chicken… Happy Thanksgiving to you all! P.S I did not actually eat any of the raw chicken… I was just there for moral support. Kids… don’t eat raw chicken.”

Bear Gets a Taste of Thanksgiving

For Henry Cavill, Thanksgiving isn’t just about spending time with loved ones; it’s also an opportunity to show his love for his pet in a unique—and admittedly hilarious—way. Fans of the actor were quick to comment on how sweet and funny the gesture was, with many joking that Bear might just be living the dream with a raw chicken feast. Cavill’s mix of humor, warmth, and genuine affection for his dog shone through, making this Thanksgiving tradition a memorable one.

A Tradition with Heart

While we all know that Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends, Henry Cavill’s Thanksgiving celebration for Bear serves as a reminder that the holidays can be a time to show appreciation for the ones who bring joy into our lives—whether they have two legs or four.

Whether you’re a pet owner or not, it’s hard not to smile at the thought of Cavill, a Hollywood A-lister, spending his holiday playing the role of moral support while his dog enjoys a special Thanksgiving feast. And while many of us are used to sharing our turkey with family, it seems that Cavill’s Thanksgiving tradition proves that when it comes to pets, the celebration can be just as important—if not more so!

So, here’s to Henry Cavill, his loyal pup Bear, and the hilarious, heartwarming tradition of raw chicken for Thanksgiving. What better way to celebrate the holiday than by making your dog feel like the star of the show?
