Actor Joe Manganiello says he was "severely depressed" after missing out on playing Superman because filming clashed with his work on True Blood.
The 34-year-old was asked to audition for the role of the iconic superhero in Zack Snyder's forthcoming reboot 'Superman: Man of Steel' but because of his date issues the part eventually went to Henry Cavill, reported Contactmusic.
"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. I never got to put on the suit," Manganiello said.
