24 Jun - David Corenswet recently admitted that he actually experienced "claustrophobia" when it comes to donning his supersuit as Superman.

The actor, who spoke to People to promote the new "Superman" movie recently, said that the costume was quite snug and entailed a lot of squeezing into.

"They had made it to my proportions when I screen-tested where I weighed about 195 pounds, and when I walked in for my first costume fitting, I weighed about a 235, 240 pounds," he explained.

"You hear actors who play superheroes talking about squeezing into the suits. I got kind of claustrophobic in the suit the first time just being constricted in all those places at the same time."

Corenswet also stated that while the outfit has lots of zippers, none of them are placed where it would make it easy for him to use the bathroom.

Asked if he had any issue with that throughout filming, the actor responded, "Not at all. I never had an issue with that."

At the same time, he sang praises for his costume guy, Scott R. Hankins, whom he said always had his back.

"He was always in my ear going, 'Do you need a break? Do you need a break? Tell them you need a break and we can step you out. I'll tell him it's me.' He would make excuses for me if I needed," he said.

"Superman" will be released on 10 July
