‘Nick Is Making Bald Men Hot Again.’ That Time Rachel Brosnahan Got Real About Making Out With Superman And Loving Nicholas Hoult’s Shaved Head

by

As a film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the 2025 movie lineup is live, and the highly anticipated Superman is now gracing our screens, generating massive box office revenues while garnering praise from fans and critics alike. My colleague Eric Eisenberg even gave it a near-perfect score in his review. It’s fascinating to learn that Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane in this hit movie, is opening up about sharing on-screen kisses with the talented David Corenswet as Clark Kent and her admiration for Nicholas Hoult’s portrayal of Lex Luthor, particularly his bald head.

What Did Superman’s Rachel Brosnahan Say About Making Out With David Corenswet?

When I’m backing a director such as James Gunn on a film project like Superman, it’s clear that the chemistry between the cast members plays an essential role, especially when the movie has high expectations. In this case, since the story isn’t an origin tale but focuses on David Corenswet’s established Clark/Kal-El/Supes who is under scrutiny and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane in a relationship with him, it was crucial that the actors arrived prepared to embody a convincing super couple.

Brosnahan and Corenswet have received numerous accolades for their acting, indicating that Gunn made an excellent choice in casting. When interviewed by Interview Magazine, Rachel Brosnahan (from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) was asked if there were days on set without any special effects, to which she responded:

  • BROSNAHAN: I got really lucky because my first couple days, we were shooting the 10-page scene that David and I had tested with. It felt like we could have been shooting an indie movie in a basement somewhere, which was amazing because we got to really discover these characters.
  • SEYFRIED: I wonder if that was on purpose?
  • BROSNAHAN: I think so. We made out for a couple of hours and then we shot a 10-page-long scene.

It was rumored before that Emma Mackey was considered for the role of Barbie, but it seems like after a fast-paced audition with Brosnahan, she ultimately got the part instead.

To put it simply, our latest iteration of the renowned Daily Planet reporter has spoken openly about this specific scene (one you might recognize if you’ve watched the movie) and its role in kick-starting filming. This initial encounter aided both actors in immersing themselves fully into their characters before moving on to the action and stunts. However, it’s worth mentioning that this shared intimacy, being an essential aspect of bonding for actors, came after the passionate kissing scenes.

What Did Superman’s Rachel Brosnahan Say About Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor Baldness?

As a cinema enthusiast, I must say, it’s Nicholas Hoult who’s making waves these days, particularly with his buzzed haircut in “Superman.” Of course, given that he’s portraying the iconic bald villain Lex Luthor, it comes as no surprise that this transformation is grabbing attention.

The presently platinum-haired actor has previously mentioned his willingness to go to any length for a role, which might concern his co-star and her interviewer from “Mean Girls,” given their views on hairless Houlte and bald men. Therefore, it would be best if he returns to his clean-shaven look in the future, as the ladies expressed this sentiment in conversation later on.

  • BROSNAHAN: Nick is making bald men hot again.
  • SEYFRIED: I’ve always thought bald men were hot. Am I the only one? I’m like, “You know what you should do? Shave your head.” That’s always my advice to friends of mine.
  • BROSNAHAN: Really?

It’s quite imaginable that Seyfried would encourage all the men she knows to shave their heads, isn’t it? She admittedly suggested this to at least three male friends who are prominent actors, yet none of them have followed her advice thus far. This could be connected to a characteristic of baldness that Brosnahan claims Hoult possesses, which one wouldn’t discover until after shaving one’s head.

  • BROSNAHAN: You have to have a good shaved head, and Nick has a great shaped head for this.
  • SEYFRIED: He did shave it?
  • BROSNAHAN: He did. And he was a monster.

In my opinion, Nicholas Hoult truly shines in this latest DC film. His baldness suits the character of Clark Kent/Superman remarkably well, and he breathes life into Lex Luthor with a convincing performance. The entire cast does an excellent job of keeping viewers engrossed in this new Superman narrative.
