December 24, 2003: Tom Welling Approached For Superman Movie

Tom Welling revealed on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly on Tuesday night, that not only had he been approached about the lead role in the up-coming Superman movie, but that he'd met with then-Director Brett Ratner to talk about it.

"I actually went to Brett's house in Los Angeles and we sat down and talked about it a little bit, both knowing that scheduling would always be an issue," Welling said.

"Basically, if that movie were to happen, the show would pretty much have to go away, and I don't think that's what anybody wants."

"As least they've come to you," Daly said.

"They have, they have. Maybe just as comparison, but they have," Welling said.

Welling also revealed that he met Shaquille O'Neal (a major Superman fan) at the premiere of Welling's new movie "Cheaper By The Dozen".

"He introduced me to his kids as Superman, and that was pretty cool," Welling said.
