Christopher Reeve Makes His First Appearance | Carson Tonight Show

[@alexanderharris8310]

The best Superman hands down.

[@andreawalker8330]

AMEN

[@joebiggs4387]

Yes! No doubt about it. I grew up with his Superman movies.

[@aviduser1961]

He faced tragedy with courage and dignity. He was a super man.

[@cjrrun]

He was as he appeared in real life. Very likeable and approachable. If Make A Wish was popular back then, you know that he would have gotten a lot of requests

[@thefilmrookie3099]

He actually did visit children’s hospitals dressed as Superman

[@Lance1972]

Christopher Reeve made Superman my lifelong hero. May he rest in peace he was an incredible human being.

Look at him so handsome, tall, and healthy. What a terrible loss.

[@uva3088]

[@mavis8933]

Whats height got to do with anything?

[@uva3088]

@@mavis8933 Comes from the expression, "tall, dark and handsome" describes Christopher Reeve EXACTLY! Really, looks and health are not indicative of a person's personality! How others are treated by the person are far more important! Evidently Christopher Reeve was not only tall, dark and handsome but also a good person! In contrast with many celebrities who while very good looking are absolutely awful people! Hope that explains it!

[@cashmeremonroe7715]

@rosesingh339 Right? Imagine how things will be when 2020's will be the good Ole Days. Hmm

[@RoSR]

Christopher Reeve's greatest role in my opinion has to be when he played Richard Collier in "Somewhere in Time".

[@ThomasBryant]

110% Agreed.... It was the greatest performance I've ever seen from Reeves! Fully Believable despite the fantasy element.

[@eloisapetermann6810]

Jane Seymour & Chris Reeve should’ve been together in real life

[@RoSR]

@eloisapetermann6810 totally agreeing with you. The chemistry between them is unmatched in movies between 2 people. My opinion, of course.

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

His first movie after "Superman" was "Deathtrap", with Michael Caine, where he turned out to be the married Caine's secret gay lover. There was a very audible groan in the theater when Chris and Michael passionately kissed. The audience just wasn't ready for it at all (not Superman!)...

[@RoSR]

@igorschmidlapp6987 I didn't need to know that.. Appreciate that..

[@debraaurandt4228]

I miss him. I miss them Both. Hell I missed the show

So do I. I miss the late nights with him and Doc Severensen playing his heart out.

Christopher reeve was such a gemtleman and refused to see the bad in anyone no matter who you were and where came from, he was literally the embodiment and born to play superman. Yes there are and will be actors who will wear that iconic hope shield on their chest though will never ever come close to surpassing what he brought to the screen. A super genius

[@AFMMD-q8]

I get misty eyed when watching this, not only because in my opinion Mr Reeves was the best Superman but because he was a decent, gentle human being with so much integrity and dedication. And of course Johnny was the very best host, oh, how I miss those days. 🇺🇸

In most superhero movies, its the villain who stands out,in every superman movie, reeves was the standout.
