Back in the early 2000s, Jude Law was at the height of his fame. The Talented Mr Ripley was a hit, as was Steven Spielberg’s A.I. – and the English actor was regularly topping Sexiest Man Alive lists.

However, the 52-year-old recently revealed on The Playlist’s Discourse podcast that he had been offered a part at the time that even he felt he wasn’t right for: Superman.

“There was a process of flirtation going on,” he explained. “And I always resisted because it just felt like [off].” He added that the producers even sent him the suit in hopes it would change his mind. “I tried it on and I looked in the mirror and part of me initially was like, ‘Wow, this would be a [good thing],’ and then I just thought, ‘No, you can’t, you can’t do this. You can’t.’”
