August 12, 2011: Missing Out on Superman Left Manganiello Depressed

Joe Manganiello Hollywood.com reports that Joe Manganiello admits that he was severely depressed about missing out on the role of Superman for "Man of Steel" due to a conflict in his schedule for the fifth season of "True Blood".

    "So regrettably I never got to screen test and I never got to compete for the role. I never got to put on the suit."

    Manganiello admits he was heartbroken after missing out on the coveted role, adding, "This was back in January. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't (upset)... I was really, severely depressed for a few months. For a few months afterwards.

    "Because I really thought the direction they were taking the movie and the character, I really thought I had a great idea where to take that and I was very excited and I just wanted to try out my ideas and things. But, you know, it just wasn't meant to be."
