September 18, 2013: Superman Meets Super Grover

Henry and Grover As we reported yesterday, Henry Cavill appeared on the first episode of the current season of "Sesame Street", helping Elmo teach the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs all about the word "Respect". But while in LA shooting the sequence Cavill couldn't leave without touching base with a fellow superhero from the Muppet team... Super Grover.

    The newest Superman couldn't leave set without taking time to meet another Muppet - or, rather, the alter ego of another Muppet - who knows a thing or two about wearing capes and saving the day. Before leaving set to get back to his busy Man of Steel promotion schedule (his Sesame Street visit was a mere week ahead of the blockbuster's release), he took time for a photo opp with Super Grover.

    Cavill was quite laugh-prone while taping with the Sesame Street Muppets, who had him cracking up when they launched into gags with a prop cake between takes. But Cavill had his chance to get the Muppets and puppeteers giggling too: At one point during shooting, a light high up on set blew out. Leslie Carrara-Rudolph - who was taking a break from puppeteering Abby Cadabby to operate one of the pigs - said, "We have Superman right here. He'll just fly up and fix it!" And Cavill gamely played along, miming soaring upward with a lightbulb, looking just the part for the Man of Steel, chin up and dignified.
