Superman fans must be close to combustion now that the release of Man of Steel is just days away. After the disappointment of the last instalment, hopes are high for this film, which stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent and Amy Adams as Lois Lane.
Interview magazine caught up with the pair in their June/July issue and discuss the movie, as well as the famous Lois/Clark love story.
Cavill admits that as much as he enjoys working with Adams, he doesn’t get too swept up in it and take his character home with him.
“For me, it’s more like I go to work, I do a job, I play a role, and then I go home. I don’t wear a cape at home. I’m not an invulnerable alien at home. I’m not in love with a woman called Lois Lane at home. I know there are a lot of people who get very involved I their characters, but I, personally, find it too involved. I just like to do it as a job— and it’s my job to make it look real.”
He adds: “As much as I do love real-life stories they can often make you hurt in a way I’d rather not hurt. But I think that the hurt aspect is just something that exists in a lot of great stories because people can associate with it. If there’s one thing that we’re very good at as humans, it’s remembering the bad stuff. For some reason, it’s always the pain that gets you.”
