Drew Scott's Secret 'Smallville' Past: Superman's Body Double

Drew Scott, known for his HGTV shows, once had a unique role on the popular superhero series "Smallville." Scott disclosed in a recent interview that he was the body double for actor Tom Welling, who played a teenage Clark Kent. This meant Scott's physique was used for certain scenes.

Scott's specific contributions included performing shots that focused on the character's physique, such as "butt shots and ab shots," particularly when Superman's costume revealed skin. He joined the show's cast through a friend who was working as the stand-in for Lex Luther.

Reflecting on his time on "Smallville," which aired from 2001 to 2011, Scott characterized it as a "little side thing." He also mentioned that the show utilized multiple body doubles, with his involvement depending on the specific shots required. Scott humorously added that Tom Welling was considered more physically appealing than himself.
