Man of Steel is still going strong and performing in very super fashion at the box office as scores of people around the world are flocking to see the flick despite so-so reviews from critics. One of those people who took a trip out to the cinema to see the flick was none other than he original General Zod himself, Terence Stamp.

But while Stamp went out to see the movie, the most interesting part of his trip came when he went to the bathroom and encountered a group of men arguing about Superman and how it compared to the original films.

“I start washing my hands, and there’s about 10 or 12 guys there, and they’re talking about Man of Steel. And one says, ‘Well, I don’t know. If they’d have, like, peeled the buildings off the screen I wouldn’t have been surprised, you know?’ Another says, ‘It was all so loud.'” Stamp explained, via The Hollywood Reporter. Then the guy down at the other end, who was only a little guy, said, ‘Yeah, yeah!’ And he said, ‘It really wasn’t as good as the first one, was it?’ And I just couldn’t resist, and I said, ‘You’re a very discerning man.’ And as soon as they heard the voice they said, [screaming in shock] ‘Oh my God! It’s General Zod!’ I swear to God, it just happened!”

Stamp was in that first film back in 1978 as well as it’s sequel in 1980 as his role as General Zod is what he’s most remembered for by American audiences (unless for some reason his role in Star Wars Episode I sticks out to you).

Stamp, unlike other “serious” film actors of his generation, embraces the fandom that comes with the role he played and while his role as a super-villain overshadows other great performances like the one he had in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, it’s clear that Stamp is someone who love to entertain but also apparently loves to butt into bathroom conversations about Superman.
