'I'm the new Superman – here's how I spent my last hour of anonymity'

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video What's that in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a new Superman movie that's about to land in cinemas across the UK. Superman is the first film in James Gunn's new shared superhero universe and hopes to usher in a new era for Clark Kent and his super friends. Which brings us to the new Superman himself, David Corenswet. The 31-year-old had just one hour between finding out he'd scored the biggest job of his life and the world finding out. So, how did he spend it? 'Oh, I just played solitaire by myself and panicked quietly,' David laughed while speaking to Metro about that fateful s60 minutes on the red carpet at London's Superman Fan Event. 'No, I had the opportunity to tell about six or seven people who I was close to, and just kind of relished in this one hour where I had a big secret that nobody else knew about,' he continued. 'It's a rare moment in life, so I tried to be present with it, and not be too overwhelmed.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'I got to tell my wife and a couple of family members, and then just sat in a chair and waited for the news to break.' Thankfully, once David's not-so-secret identity had been exposed, he could rely on other actors who've slipped into Superman's red Speedos for advice. 'I was lucky enough to exchange letters with Tyler Hoechlin and Henry Cavill, two fellas who have played Superman before me,' David explained. 'They said, 'You know, there's not much advice that we can give. You know, you sort of have to do your own thing.' 'But it was really wonderful to get words of encouragement from them, and then to be able to write to them and talk about how appreciative I was of the way that they had stewarded the character in their time. That was a special experience.' Superman will eschew the traditional origin story and instead introduce us to a Clark Kent (David Corenswet) who's been battling bad guys for years and is already in a relationship with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). More Trending Unfortunately, this means Superman has had time to make more than a few enemies, including Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), who has a plan to bring the Man of Tomorrow down to Earth. Will he succeed? Well, you'll have to fly over to your local cinema to find out. Superman soars into cinemas on July 11. Got a story?

Ozzy Osbourne charging fans thousands for photo and autograph package

EXCLUSIVE: Frontman Ozzy Osbourne will end his performing days this weekend, then head to an event where he'll pose with fans for big payday with family Ozzy Osbourne super-fans will have to fork out more than £1,400 for the metal icon to sign a microphone or guitar at an upcoming event, and nearly £1,000 for a photograph with him. The Black Sabbath frontman, 76, will perform for the final time on Saturday alongside his bandmates - Tony Iommi, 77, Geezer Butler, 75, and Bill Ward, 77 - at Villa Park, Aston, in a farewell heavy metal show called Back to the Beginning. ‌ But a week later he will head 12 miles down road to Comic Con Midlands, at Birmingham's NEC, where the Prince of Darkness and his family - wife and former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, 72, their daughter Kelly Osbourne, 40, and son Jack Osbourne, 39 - will meet and have photographs taken with die-hard fans on Saturday, July 12. ‌ Supporters will have to spend £666 - often referred to as the number of the beast in heavy metal circles - for the top-tier Ultimate Sin VIP Package at Comic Con Midlands. For that, fans will receive a group professional photo opportunity with Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack - whose fame increased in 2002 thanks to their The Osbournes reality TV show - but it is limited to two people per photo. However, under-5s are not included in the restriction. Ultimate Sin VIP package purchasers will also receive separate 8x10 signed photos of the quartet, and will be given the option to purchase a solo professional photo opportunity with Ozzy and the Paranoid singer's autograph - if they pay more. Anyone wanting Ozzy to sign their microphone or guitar will have to spend £750 for the privilege, meaning they will have spent £1,416 in total, including the Ultimate Sin VIP package. And fans can have a professional photo with Ozzy - who is suffering from Parkinson's disease - for £300, but they will have spent a total of £966 including the top-tier package. The rock god will also sign an album, toy or poster for £375, or a book for £225 - for supporters with VIP package status - according to a Comic Con Midlands Facebook post. In response to the event's pricing structure announcement, one Facebook user wrote: "Laughable prices, genuinely laughable" ‌ Another posted: "Time to start selling me kidney" One posted: "Do we have to get VIP to meet Ozzy or can we meet him solo?" Comic Con Midlands replied: "You'll need the VIP package." In contrast, Sex Pistols legend John Lydon - AKA Johnny Rotten - is charging a far more modest £90 for a pre-show meet and greet - including a photograph, autograph, and goody bag - on various dates of his I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right spoken word tour later this year. ‌ At Comic Con Midlands, a photograph with American thrash metallers Scott Ian and Frank Bello from Anthrax - who will also be playing at Black Sabbath's farewell show on Saturday - is priced at £110, and Slipknot fans will only have to pay £60 for a picture with the metal band's turntablist Sid Wilson. What's more, a photograph with Ozzy's wife Sharon is priced at £80, and snaps with Kelly or Jack are £60. Former Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon will also sign an autograph for £60, while Kelly and Jack's signatures are £40 apiece. On Saturday, original Sabbath members Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill will be reunited at Back to the Beginning for the first time in 20 years. Ozzy said: 'It's my final encore; it's my chance to say thank you to my fans for always supporting me and being there for me.' Ozzy now has Parkinson's disease and has struggled for ill health for a number of years and so is unable to play a full live show.
