Christopher Reeve "Superman III" Interview on Johnny Carson

[@davidmarlajurek5038]

Anytime I watch Mr. Reeve, whether in an interview or in a role, I feel like I am seeing one of God’s most wonderful creations. What a talented actor, dedicated humanitarian, and brave man. My generation was blessed to grow up watching his work. Thank you Christopher for your humanitarian and artistic legacy, RIP 🙏♥️.

RIP Christopher Reeve "Superman" We will miss you, you were and will always be the true Superman to us forever.

@@vaccumsealed I know that this was 3 years ago and the original comment was 6 years ago but I don't get why you felt a need to insult her like that. I'm assuming that it's just because she's unbelievably gorgeous in the profile picture.

[@vaccumsealed]

@@JosephHowes2003 unbelievably gorgeous, ya say? Well theres a matter of opinion if nothing more. Lemme ask ya somethin. Do you think a girl that looks like that wouldnt be as shallow and superficial as say some super model fresh off the page or stage of a Victoria's secret fashion show? Think ya gotta chance? By all means...there she is. Knock yourself out, man.

[@JosephHowes2003]

@@vaccumsealed the odds of me getting with her are next to none. That's not the point. The fact that she's beautiful (if that's actually her) doesn't automatically make her shallow and it definitely doesn't give you licence to be a dick. So we have no reason to know whether or not she's shallow but we do know that you're an asshole.

This is Superman. Christopher Reeve was so heroic.

[@brianhatcher2799]

Is it just me, or does he slightly resemble Tom Welling in Smallville a little bit here? Maybe it’s just because of the hair and his youthful look that reminds me of Tom. Absolutely loved that episode in Smallville where they got to share the screen together.

[@fashizzle78]

He was still kinda muscular here. From working out for superman 3 the best physique he had as superman

I bet I know what the scary part is he's talking about. That lady that gets turned into a robot. Still scary for me as an adult.

Yeah you're not kidding, that old kind of special effect was so much more scary than these days. I even have a version of Superman III with that part cut out lol.

[@jamesgibbs1786]

It is scary, but imagine you watching your dad get crushed by a scrap metal compacting machine... that could be even more scary!!

Did the movie Somewhere in Time have something to do with it?

[@Liz-vd4lj]

I loved him as Count Wronsky

[@anneahlert2997]

@@toastedjoe1013 I first got a crush on him after seeing Superman II. The romance with Lois-- even giving up his powers for her-- was wonderfully romantic. I went to see the first Star Wars three times in the theatre, but I saw Superman II four times on the big screen. I would have lived in that theatre if I could. And when he was in Somewhere in Time... Good Lord, it was amazing. Jane Seymour, his female costar, later said that of all the men she had ever kissed on film (and having been a leading lady in several romantic roles, she had kissed quite a few), Reeve was the most romantic kisser of them all.

[@ontologicallysteve7765]

The scene in the junkyard with evil Superman was quite possibly the best Superman scene ever put to film. It alone was worth the price of admission and more than makes up for the flaws that this film has. Compared to Quest for Peace-----it's on par with the first one. That's *the only* use the 4th one has-----to make the 3rd one look good.

Your right, his death isn't funny at all, and I don't see how my comment said anything that would imply otherwise, but before we get into something that will have a bad taste, let's just agree that his death was a sad event, and his part as Superman will always be a joy for me, and hopefully many others still to come.

I've been loving him ever since I first saw him in his original first superman movie back in the year of1977...and I was only 6 going on 7 years old at time, and I knew right then and right off I was totally in-love with this gorgeous guy!!! I really truly miss both him and his wife today....its so sad.....

[@Blondie35]

What other movies have you seen him in?

[@Blondie35]

Hey Jen, I also wanted to share with you that dated back when I was in high school I almost dated or I had a BIG crush on this guy that had a resemblance of Christopher Reeve!!!! Yes, he totally looked just like this wonderful and gorgeous actor of all time, and in the whole wide world!!! The only difference was that this guy's hair color and eye color were different from Chris's gorgeous blue-eyes, and dark brown hair. Ok, this gorgeous guy that I went to high school with, and had the BIG crush on his name is Gary Baucum, and Gary's hair color was a light brown near blondish almost, and his eyes are the color of green-blue, and as you know Chris Reeve's eyes were sky-blue...:D but as I can tell ya' Gary was the most gorgeous guy I have ever met or have seen on this earth or planet besides Christopher Reeve!!! And Gary also always wore his hair style in the same form and fashion that Chris Reeve wore his hair with some bangs, and then a part on one side of his head, and then some more bangs on the other side of his head, and in the back it was just worn straight down.....When I was in high school I've always had dreams and hopes of going out with or having a boyfriend with the face of Christopher Reeve's looks or face!!! But never had the chance to.:(....Well, I'm so sorry for such a long message but I just had to share it all with you that's all....Please let me know what you think about all of this??? Looking forward to hearing from you again soon!!!
