Kate Bosworth and Brandon RouthIt was a mutual praise-a-thon at last night’s UK premiere of Superman Returns.

Kate Bosworth, who plays Lois Lane in the film, was gushing with praise for her Super co-star Brandon Routh: “Brandon is one of the kindest, most generous people I’ve ever worked with. He’s definitely going to go a long way and he didn’t need any tips from me.”

And Brandon was as equally enamoured with Kate and he seems quite jealous of Kate’s boyfriend Orlando Bloom: “She is the most gorgeous woman. I’d be chasing her if she wasn’t already taken.”

They both had good words to say about Superman fans too.

Brandon noted how “everyone seems really excited” about the movie and Kate added: “There’s a lot of expectation from fans of the film who have certain ideas about the character and even details like a wave in Lois’ hair but it’s incredible to have fans who believe so strongly in the film.”
