David Corenswet may be soaring as Superman on-screen, but it’s his grounded, heartfelt moments off-screen that are stealing hearts. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, fans got a rare, endearing glimpse of the actor balancing his new role as a father alongside the monumental responsibility of portraying one of the most iconic superheroes in film history. While Corenswet humbly deflected praise, his co-star Nicholas Hoult stepped in to highlight a moment that captured the actor’s true “Superman energy” in real life.
Hoult recalled a touching scene from the set where, during a break in filming, he noticed Superman’s iconic boots and cape moving across the studio floor—pushing a stroller. “You couldn’t see the top half of David,” Hoult said, describing the backdrop’s angle, “but there was the pushchair being pushed by Superman. That’s a man perfectly juggling being a superhero and a super dad.” The image was both symbolic and quietly powerful, showing how seamlessly Corenswet carried his dual role—both fictional and deeply personal.
When asked directly about balancing fatherhood and filming, Corenswet immediately gave credit to his wife, who, he said, took on the heavy lifting at home while he was working 12-hour days. “She was wearing those boots,” Hoult joked, to which Corenswet warmly agreed. He also shared that once he returned home from set, his focus was entirely on being present for his family—changing diapers, helping out, and making sure his superhero persona didn’t stop when the cameras did.
Corenswet’s response was honest and grounded, reflecting a sense of gratitude and awareness that’s often rare in Hollywood. The contrast of playing a larger-than-life figure while navigating the everyday challenges of parenting clearly isn’t lost on him. He even admitted that being thrown up on after flying through the sky on set actually brought a healthy, human balance to his life.
This behind-the-scenes snapshot has deeply resonated with fans, not only reinforcing Corenswet’s fit for Superman on-screen but also highlighting the sincerity and humility he brings to real life. It’s not just about muscles and capes—it’s about compassion, teamwork, and showing up for the ones you love. And David Corenswet, it seems, is doing just that—on both sides of the lens.
