‘Superman & Lois’ Star Shares Hilarious Behind-the-Scenes Moment of Suiting Up in Series Finale: ‘I Have No Modesty Left!’

As a gamer who has spent countless hours in virtual worlds and superhero universes, I can’t help but feel a strange sense of camaraderie with Alex Garfin as he shares his behind-the-scenes tale from Superman & Lois. The hilarious anecdote about the tight black leotard and the awkwardly placed harness had me laughing out loud!

After four captivating seasons, the “Superman & Lois” series has concluded, wrapping up the narrative of its principal characters within the Arrowverse. This compelling show primarily revolved around Superman, Lois Lane, and their twin sons, Jordan and Jonathan, who each possess superhuman abilities reminiscent of Superboy.

In the last episode, Jonathan and Jordan receive their superhero costumes at long last. However, if you’ve been tuning in, you might recall that Alex Garfin, who portrayed Jordan, exhibited powers well ahead of time but didn’t don a suit until the final installment. Prior to that, Garfin was dressed in a black attire meant solely for concealing his identity.

Experiencing the shift by donning his own suit was quite significant, and Garfin elaborated on the unexpected humor he encountered during filming this scene in an interview with Screen Rant.

During the movie shoot, Garfin recollected an amusing incident where he had to don a snug, all-revealing black bodysuit and a cumbersome harness that fastened uncomfortably across his midriff, giving the illusion of flight.

He made a light-hearted comment about being “completely devoid of shyness” as he wore that attire, considering that executives from LA were present on that particular day. Nonetheless, he found himself chuckling at the situation, hoping it would come across well in the recording.

It seems like you were enjoying some amusing entertainment! They dressed me completely in a sleek, black leotard, making my entire body visible. To add to the spectacle, I was strapped into a harness that allowed me to fly, with the harness fastening around my midsection, raising that particular area prominently.

On that particular day, executive guests arrived from Los Angeles [laughs]. As I stepped outside, I was joking around with others, saying something like, “I’ve lost all my inhibitions! I’m completely shameless now.” But then, lo and behold, the executives were standing there, and I exclaimed, “Oh my goodness!” I walked by them, hoping it would look stylish on camera.

Garfin shared that the concept art depicting the Superboys’ superhero outfits served as a demonstration of feasibility, in case the series carried on beyond season 4. Instead of physically manufacturing the suits, they opted for a digital enhancement, a move that proved to be more budget-friendly.

Besides showing his enthusiasm, he mentioned that it felt fulfilling to don the suit adorned with the House of El emblem, reminiscing about his audition for the part at sixteen, an experience which he would now realize at twenty-one.

Absolutely, what we showed was essentially a prototype. For the final few scenes, I have a clear vision of how these costumes should appear. To be honest, I don’t think there was ever much debate about creating them in reality. There was another concept for this series that I can discuss more freely during our next conversation when I have more leeway to share details.

However, when it got to Michael and me around the closing of season 4, they seemed almost certain that they would digitally copy everything we had worked on.

That method is significantly less expensive. As I’ll catch a glimpse of the climax, which I’ll view a week later due to an LA screening beforehand, it’s the moment I’ve been waiting for – finally seeing myself wearing the crest after all these years. Incredibly, I first auditioned for this role when I was just 16, and now at 21, I’ll get to witness it – isn’t that amazing?
