\u201cWhen they first brought it to me, it was this royal blue spandex bodysuit,\u201d he told Variety. \u201cWe ended up putting in stirrups so that it stayed in place. And the boots were a whole lace-up thing at first. We worked on it as time went on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember it being 110 in Burbank. In the Superman suit, you can\u2019t sweat. If you sweat, it balls up. So I didn\u2019t,\u201d Cain continued. \u201cI\u2019m a Japanese dude. I don\u2019t sweat that much. I\u2019m not hairy at all. They didn\u2019t have to shave my chest or anything. But still \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Cain also recalled that flying in the suit was brutal because the wires cut off circulation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no blood flow going to your legs,\u201d he noted. \u201cAfter hanging for hours, I would have to get a massage just to keep the blood moving from quadrant to quadrant. Teri would cry. She\u2019d be in tears every single time we had to fly because it\u00a0hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cain explained that he filmed \u201cLois and Clark\u201d five days a week from 6 a.m. on Monday until 7 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe called it Fraturday!\u201d he shared. \u201cThere was no time to work out, because they couldn\u2019t give me a workout clause, because then they\u2019d have to for every other star and then it sets precedent for Warner Bros. That\u2019s why I haven\u2019t done a series since. It feels like suffocating. You feel claustrophobic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cain also expressed that he feels he was financially exploited by Warner Bros. <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know enough back then about residuals,\u201d he said. \u201cWarner Bros. buries the bodies deep and makes it look like it\u2019s lost money. There\u2019s no possible way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I should have sued,\u201d he stated. \u201cGeorge Clooney did it. He sued on \u2018ER\u2019 and got a big payout for his participation. I was advised not to because \u2018You don\u2019t want to bite the hand that feeds you.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dean Cain claimed he was a victim of sexual harassment when he was Superman.
