‘Superman’, the first movie of the new DC Universe, directed by James Gunn and Peter Safran, has finished shooting for its release in 2025. While Gunn himself took the opportunity to share a nice and emotional message with the fans, David Corenswet, the new Clark Kent, celebrated in a very different way. The actor has comically thrown out his diet and used this milestone to eat a succulent chocolate cake.
That was David Corenswet’s hilarious way of celebrating the end of filming on ‘Superman’
On July 30, 2024, ‘Superman’, the first movie in the new DC Universe, finished filming. David Corenswet, the new Superman/Clark Kent, did not mess around with frills and celebrated this achievement in a very peculiar and funny way. What did the actor do? He uploaded a story to his Instagram account with the hashtags #wrap and #superman, while he was eating what looked like a chocolate cake.
This short video clip is a statement of intent from the actor who made headlines for the physical transformation he underwent to portray Superman as convincing as he was muscular. In the process, Corenswet gained eighteen kilos of pure muscle mass, which required him to follow a very strict diet and training regimen. You don’t have to be a nutritionist to know that foods like ultra-processed foods or industrial baked goods are not exactly healthy.
Therefore, this action to celebrate the end of filming is also a way of telling the world that he no longer has to worry about his diet. The actor is not only indulging himself but also making it clear that he is no longer subject to the physical and aesthetic pressures associated with the world of acting in general and superhero movies in particular.

Corenswet’s peculiar celebration has been well received by fans, as it is, after all, another way of showing that he is human and has his little vices and quirks like almost everyone else. Other followers have pointed out that we should not “criminalize” a person for liking cookies. Although they are not a healthy food, they should be seen as sporadic whims.
