Christopher Reeve refused fake muscles for Superman
Ойын-сауық
For kids born in the 70's and 80's, Christopher Reeve is the OG Superman. But he was nearly overlooked by casting directors as he was deemed too young and too skinny to play the role.
They prepared a padded suit for him, but Christopher was determined to bulk up his physique for real.

Reeve was my favorite, but I think Brandon Routh's portrayal is more like how Superman would act.
My mom was one of the doctors who treated Christopher Reeves after his spinal cord injury. She said he's a real class act and he raised a shit ton of money for research and donated a fancy research lab that I worked at for several years, which still operates to this day. RIP superman, what a legend.

When you think about it, Superman came from a planet where being as strong as he is was normal. So with Christopher Reeve’s physique, having super strength without the extreme musculature makes a lot more sense.
Tall, good looking, muscular and his polite manner of speaking really filled the shoe of what a Superman should be. His kind attitude and big Heart were the bonus.

Plenty of dude's on gear look worse than Reeves did in his prime because they don't know what they are doing.

@@cyruskhalvatiten to eight weeks is plenty of time. It really doesn't take a very long time for your body to transform if you have the consistency and dedication. 178 to 220 is not a huge leap. That's about 45 lbs. He bulked up, had a high protein diet, which with proper training can have you gain muscle mass incredibly quickly, and he also took vitamins. Achieving 45 in growth within ten weeks is incredibly achievable. Doing that and having the muscle definition you see actors having nowadays however, is far less likely and incredibly suspicious of steroids or PEDS.

I agree
A beautiful man. He inspired a whole generation. He will always be Superman.
Now, that's what you call pure dedication to a role. He was hands down, the best superman, ever.
Saw Superman in the theater in 1978. It was visually stunning at the time. Reeve was the blueprint.
You Don’t Tug On Superman’s Cape You Don’t Spit In To The Wind!!! You Don’t Poke A Battle With The Masked Long Ranger And You Don’t Mess Around With Jim !!!! R.I.P. To The Greatest Superhero *EvEr* , Superman A.K.A. Christopher Reeves 🙏🏾🤦🏾!!!
He is the comic book Superman personified
His size wasn’t what made him Superman it was his character. He epitomized the perfect balance of what a perfect human should act like.
I was a kid when this movie came out and it was a huge smash hit. RIP Christopher. Thanks for the memories. 👍
Miss this guy so much. What an amazing soul. RIP

A proper old school superhero actor. Christopher Reeve was mentally jacked as well. He fought after the accident until the end.
Christopher Reeve will always be the quintessential Superman irrespective of who may come and go in the future!
The thing about Superman that's lost on a lot of live action interpretations is that he has a face you can trust. Superman is known just as much for his kindness as he is his super strength... maybe call it super strength of character 😊

He is still the first actor that pops into my head whenever someone brings up Superman adaptations. Will never forget how he flew around the globe so fast he made it spin the other way to turn back time😮💨

Nice to see you again! I did pretty well on this banner myself. I was really only pulling for Melt as I only had 1 copy of her from her initial run, and all of her subsequent appearances since were a miss for one reason or another, and thankfully, I managed to get the 4 copies. While I hardly had trouble with her looping or her damage at NP1, there was still some awkwardness at times, but now she's way more consistent. As for the sisters, I managed to get them to NP4 in under 600 SQ. I am a bit stuck trying to level them though just because of mats; same goes for other new servants as well.
He had a real physique. No pads, no cgi, that's all Chris 🥰👍

I still think “General, would you care to step outside” is one of the greatest moments in a superhero film, and easily the best Superman movie scene. It is the absolute perfect embodiment of everything Superman represents. Reeves’ tone and crossed arms, the triumphant music, the relief of everyone around (even Luthor), Zod’s intense glare, I’m convinced no one but Reeves could’ve done it that good.
Christopher Reeves definitely set the bar for playing superman
Christopher Reeve was definitely the BEST Superman! It's so heartbreaking what happened to Him. Rest In Peace 🕊️❤.
The only actor with the correct proportions of how Superman is depicted in the comics.
Saw these Superman movies at the theater when i was young and thiught they were great! Rest in peace Mr. Reeve!! 🙏
