Meet Superman!
Was Christopher Reeve on your mind while playing this part -- especially since he died during the filming?
He died just before I was cast in the role, but yes, he was on my mind. It is difficult to forget him, to forget the character he played so brilliantly.
Do you believe the Superman curse, that bad things happen to the people who play the part -- Christopher Reeve had an accident that paralysed him, George Reeves who played him on television shot himself -- do you think it might hit you too?
I don't really believe in the curse, I think it is a media construct. I don't live my life in fear -- and there are certainly worse things in life than getting to play this character, in a film of this size. I am pretty happy about the whole thing actually.
