Tyler Hoechlin Says Playing Superman is 'Painful'

Tyler Hoechlin is talking Superman!

The 28-year-old has been busy filming Supergirl and recently opened up about shooting the show.

“I wouldn’t use the word difficult,” Tyler told EW. “I would use the word painful after hour seven or eight. It’s a harness that’s not necessarily the most comfortable thing to wear. It really only holds you up with two straps and they go from the back part of your waist, through the legs, up to the front part of the waist, and so it’s just not the most comfortable way to be supporting your entire body weight for that amount of time.”

He added, “No falling upside down, none of that yet, I’ve spared myself embarrassment for the moment. So far I’m one for one, so we’ll see if day two brings any problems.”

Supergirl premieres on Monday, October 10 on The CW.
