David Corenswet, the new actor playing Superman, is facing some criticism after a recent interview. He appeared on Variety’s ‘Actors on Actors’ with Jonathan Bailey, where they discussed their careers, but a particular moment from the conversation has caused some controversy.
I was listening to David Corenswet talk about Kelly Bailey’s experience in Wicked: For Good, and it was so funny! Apparently, Cynthia Erivo literally lifts Kelly up in the air as part of the show. David said Kelly had the tougher job because, as a guy, it’s hard to look strong and in charge when you’re being lifted by a woman! He joked that every guy would be worried about losing that ‘powerful’ image.
The actor, known for his DC roles, praised a performer, saying that despite being lifted by his arms – which he jokingly called ‘massive’ – the performer still managed to maintain a masculine presence during the song. He called it one of his favorite moments in the musical and commended the performer’s skill, noting it’s usually easier to be the one doing the lifting. Amazon has since responded to this statement with a post on X (formerly Twitter).
The post highlighted how the actor appeared to uphold a traditionally masculine image while being carried by his co-star, using a still from their popular show, Invincible. Although it didn’t mention David Corenswet or the specific interview, it was shared just a day after his Actors on Actors conversation with Bailey appeared in Variety.
Comments made during an interview with Corenswet about masculinity have received a variety of responses. As of now, the actor hasn’t responded to the criticism or to a statement released by Amazon.
It’s evident from the interview that Corenswet intended no disrespect, and he spoke highly of Cynthia Erivo and Bailey’s work in Wicked. It’s currently unclear if he will release a statement to further explain his comments.
People online disagree about recent comments from David Corenswet. Some think his words were clumsy and shouldn’t have been said, while others believe the reaction is an overreaction.
