- Christopher Reeve told ET how romantic comedies inspired about his approach to playing the Man of Steel in 1978's 'Superman.' In this 1987 interview, the late actor, who portrayed Clark Kent and his alter-ego across four movies, reflected on the superhero's cinematic legacy. Following his death in 2004 at age 52, the newest cape wearer, Brandon Routh for 'Superman Returns,' explained to ET why Reeve's performance made audiences fall in love with the character.

The one and only Superman. Don’t care what anyone else says. Fly high Christopher Reeves.
He IS Superman
Sorry, but really upset at his fellow Americans calling him Reeves. It's Christopher Reeve.
@Broken_Cracka Dito
There are multiple great Supermen
Christopher Reeves is forever Superman
RIP Christopher Reeve.
Even in a wheelchair, you have the strength of steel, Mr. Reeve.
Sorry, but really upset at his fellow Americans calling him Reeves. It's Christopher Reeve.
@@MartyMcFly3 Sorry, Mcfly. I didn't know you are Biff.
It was so sad that Dana passed shortly after him. Both were so nice. Dana always had a smile on her face.
Just that short scene with Clark laying there grinning with the bullet in his hand is nostalgic & epic.
With his super ability to break the 4th wall....
RIP Christopher Reeve.
He's very articulate and such a handsome guy.
Best Superman in every aspect. Played by a great actor.
Christopher Reeve will always be remembered as superman
Well Rear Window was good but he was in a chair then.
45 years already? I feel old
The BEST ever to play the part of Superman! God bless you Christopher Reeve! You are sorely missed.
Growing up watching Superman was exciting! My imagination was working for this movie and he really existed on tv as the real story of Superman and how he grew up and how great he was!! To this day when I rewatch Superman the music and sound effects give me chills like my mind remembers this hero and has the childhood memories being brought back to life!! It’s still very powerful to watch for me. When I found the Richard Donner version of Pt2 like 15 years ago I froze in the store… i grabbed it and went home and watched it right away!!! That was a great day like this movie was reborn and I wasn’t used to it but it was great and I love it!!! RIP SUPERMAN. me and my brother (rip) grew up inspired by your movies!!!
Absolutely true Christopher Reeve was the number one Superman and always will be may he rest in peace
This interview was way ahead of it's time
Rip Christopher reeve 😢😢😢😢
Great actor, the definitive Superman for all times. RIP, Christopher and Dana Reeves.
The last name is spelled Reeve.
Netflix's needs to make it available to see all classic superman movies man i miss them.
En HBO MAX está toda la saga , justo ahora me las estoy viendo todas ya voy por la cuarta
I watched the original Superman movie on December 17, 1978 on my seventh birthday in San Antonio.
Wow, that must have been one of your happiest birthdays ever!
Damn...
Miss u SUPERMAN.....
I sure hope they’re flying together now, rip to these wonderful actors, reeves will always be my favorite superman
*Reeve
@@MartyMcFly3 🤓🤓🤓sorry for a typo
@@MartyMcFly3 🤣🤣🤣 I think if someone says Reeves one more time your head might explode.... REEVES REEVES REEVES....
Truth, justice and the American way??? Superman where are you!!! We could really use your help right now😢 🗽
It's Christopher Reeve everybody, NOT Reeves. The Original & the Best SUPERMAN.
The ONLY Cinematic Superman.
This is really bothering you isn't it?
Huge fan of Christopher Reeves Superman. I remember watching his superman movies all the time and never getting tired.
The *BEST* Superman ever🥂🌠
Rip Christopher D'Olier Reeve, you will be missed
None of the modern superhero movies have awed me like this movie has.
For me it was Christopher reeve Clark Kent that set him apart from the others that came after him
And the fact that none of the trash after him are playing the CHARACTERS from the actual comics, none of them. They're all homicidal maniacs with the personalities of snowpeas.@@stephensearles673
He is my one and only super man!!!
The Donner movies are the ones to own.
Más poderoso q una locomotora más rápido q una bala señores el único verdadero y original superman Christopher reeve q en paz descanse
There will never be a better Superman then Christopher Reeve never
This is the Original Superman , the real GOAT! he will never be surpassed!
Grew up with this guy as one of my heroes. Loved the movies, loved the characters, loved the era. RIP to Christopher and his wife Dana.
Someone who I always thought would have made a great Superman was Clint Walker in his heyday!! He played Cheyenne in a western series long ago.
Very handsome
Thankyou.
Christopher Reeve is the best Superman actor, and he is still irreplaceable...👍
45!😊😉🎉
The scene in the diner after he gets his powers back.... One of the best in Hollywood!!! And when he crushed general zods hand still gives me goosebumps
For me it's still the best SUPERMAN. He had charm & humor with a seriousness and coolness to it.
Superman 1 & 2 are terrific. Part 3 only has a few good moments like Superman vs Superman. Oh, that brings back childhood memories. Unfortunately, part 4 was terrible.
And the SOUNDTRACK is still one of the best of all time.
For me, Christopher was also a SUPERMAN in his private life. How long he suffered until his death. Just sad.
Superman III is worse than Superman IV, at least Superman IV showed his true personality.
Superman 4 was diabolical, I'm sure I've seen an interview where Chris said the same thing (thereabouts) due to a change of staff/director or budgeting or something. Superman 3 was considered a bit odd as it became a vehicle for Richard Pryor, but he cracked me up in it so I can't really fault it.
@@nelsonhibbert5267 The film had difficult moments while shooting. You can read it on Wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_IV:_The_Quest_for_Peace
Was freaking out thinking this was another Mandela effect where he's still alive. Rest in peace to the one true Superman even after his accident dude was an inspiration to so many. Don't know what happens after you die but I hope he knows what a great inspiration he was to so many and is in a better place
This is older than you like if so… appreciate history.
“And over the last few years we have heard a lot about something called ‘family values’. And like many of you, I have struggled to figure out what that means. And since my accident, I've found a definition that seems to make sense. I think it means that we're all family. And that we all have value.”
Christopher Reeve, speaking at the Democratic National Convention in 1996.
What a Super Man.
My childhood hero.
He was Superman.
My dad is 45 and he looks like Superman.
I never watched one of is movie ,I was 6 when that movie came out , when I came to New York I watch supergirl and I love it , then Smallville love love it .
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
He was 35 in this interview
Superman is an Alien!!
Oh no... my brain INVOLUNTARILY jerked when he said, "They WHEEL him into place"
... I apologize...
😅🤙
W
great choice by richard donner i guess. christopher reeve is really a great actor. hope may Allah forgive him.
Forgive him for what?
Salam Aleykoum forgive him for what
@@Mbappe_fan300 walaikum assalam
Christopher Reeve is blonde?
He's dead, has been for 20 years. He had blond-ish hair in real life, it got darker as her got older.
@@radicalreactions1633It was director Richard Donner (RIP) who actually picked Reeve for the part (of SUPERMAN) and he said, upon auditioning Reeve "Chris had sandy colored hair and was 30lbs lighter, I gave my glasses to wear and he looked so much that part it was unbelievable ". Reeve was very unknown upon the audition .
Now
Make like is ok
ET are you aparting. Why arent you talking aboit demilovato marriage
Peop is easy
Superman = Son of El
Son of El = Son of God
Son of God = Jesus Christ:
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? John 10:36
No he's not, get over this crap.
@@radicalreactions1633 Yes he is, deal with it.
@@ayoolukoga9829 Do you believe a woman came from a mans rib?
@@nelsonhibbert5267 Before the fall of man or after the fall of man?
@@ayoolukoga9829 Anytime you like.
We can't do that kind of Superman love story again these days. The uprising anti-woke brigade will have a fit if any rom com is injected into Superman.
And that's just another reason why the homicidal maniac-brigade shit movies make NO MONEY. lol. Superman is the OG SJW, woke comic characters, so maybe they shouldn't even watch them in the first place.
