Spending his time at home amid the coronavirus lockdown, The Witcher star has been trying his hand at cooking recently and has so far made a cheesy pie, roast dinner, and spaghetti. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the A-lister has since revealed that he's also a star baker as he posted a photo of his latest creation - a classic red velvet birthday cake - which he captioned: "Icing-olation." Henry had baked the cake to celebrate his 37th birthday and he also shares the same birthday as fellow A-lister, Adele.
