David Corenswet got the "wildest bruise" on his "right testicle" while filming Superman.
Taking part in Vanity Fair's Lie Detector Test series, his co-star Nicholas Hoult quizzed him on the “wildest bruise" he got from the harness he used for the superhero blockbuster's flying scenes, to which Corenswet replied: “My right testicle.“
The test rendered his answer “inconclusive" at first before he went into detail about the injury.
He shared: “There’s footage from filming of me getting pulled through the air. It’s this wonderful epic moment, it’s in the trailer. In the beginning of it where I stand up and punch the glass out and then I leap out the window and fly through the air.
“And the first take of that, it’s this big epic punch and a leap through the air and then just, ‘my testicle.'”
The polygraph professional confirmed he was telling the truth, with Corenswet responding: “Oh yeah, I couldn’t lie about that, it’s on film.“
Meanwhile, director James Gunn has teased his next DC Universe (DCU) project will feature Corenswet’s Superman.
The filmmaker insisted it won’t be a direct sequel to the film, but it will see the return of Corenswet’s Man of Steel.
Speaking with Omelete, Gunn said: “[Corenswet] was asking me what I was working on ... He knows that I'm working on something. He knows he's a part of it. He doesn't know what it is … literally nothing.”
Superman follows Clark Kent (Corenswet) as he struggles to balance his human life with his Kryptonian heritage, while facing a new threat from Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).
The blockbuster also introduces other DC heroes, including Guy Gardner's Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi).
