But hey, he didn't get the part (aka Superman Returns)
But he is still playing the future Superman. I mean, frankly, of course he looks just fine; he's looks like an in-shape, healthy, approaching-30 young man. But I think part of why that look is garnering comment is because he's actually *not* playing an ordinary, in-shape, healthy, approaching-30 young man. He's playing the strongest man on the planet and future greatest hero of them all, and as an actor, part of his job *is* looking the part. It doesn't surprise me that people are looking at the new, kicking-back thickness and going, "Huh. Superman's not really supposed to look kinda pudgy."
