Superman star Dean Cain left Good Morning Britain viewers in stitches this morning after referring to President-elect Donald Trump with a term the businessman would have found less appealing.
The actor, best known for his role as Clark Kent in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, appeared on the ITV morning show and voted for the 78-year-old in this week’s US election, helping him get a surprising victory yesterday. .
Cain, 58, has defended Trump’s election as the first convicted felon to become leader of the free world, and the first to be elected with criminal trials pending against him.
He told GMB that Americans didn’t elect their president based on them being “the sweetest guy or girl in the world,” and praised Trump’s bravery for continuing to campaign after an attempt on his life in Pennsylvania in July.
But then he went on to address the future 47th president as something Trump would be very adamant he is not.
Superman actor Dean Cain made a hilarious faux pas on Good Morning Britain after Donald Trump was elected the 47th president.
Cain, 58, mixed up his words and accidentally referred to Trump (above yesterday praising his election victory) as “pregnant” instead of president.
Cain was quick to clarify his comments to Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, stating: “He’s the president, she’s not pregnant.”
Dean Cain made his name as Clark Kent on The New Adventures of Superman, which ran for four seasons.
The misstep was discovered by at least one viewer, who pointed out the misstep on social media.
“Honestly, I think God had something to do with saving him and turning him around, and I think the world is a different place today because Donald Trump is pregnant,” Cain said, without missing a beat.
She then steps back and grimaces as she clarifies, “He’s president, she’s not pregnant.”
One eagle-eyed viewer on X, formerly Twitter, saw the comment and wrote: “Dean Cain on TV accidentally says ‘Now that Donald Trump is pregnant…”
Cain continued his defense of the 45th president, calling him “an extremely brave guy” after the Pennsylvania shooting while speaking with Susanna Reid and Ed Balls.
“(Trump is) a wonderfully warm guy and wonderful when you talk to him too,” Cain said.
‘I think people will be surprised at how well he leads and how well everything is organized. I think he’s changed a little bit (since his last term).’
Cain was primed for a promising football career before a knee injury forced him to change course: appearing in advertisements and small roles on television shows.
But he rose to real fame after his winning smile, good looks and chiseled body earned him the role of Clark Kent in The New Adventures of Superman. He later appeared in other comic book roles in Smallville and Supergirl.
Cain has vacillated politically over the years, voting twice for Bill Clinton before endorsing Al Gore in the 2000 election, which Gore lost to George W. Bush.
He then switched from Democrats to Republicans and registered as a member of the Republican Party before later registering as an independent voter.
Dean Cain photographed in November last year. His political allegiances have ranged between Democrats, Republicans and independents over the years.
The Mail interviewed Cain on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention earlier this year, suggesting he has returned to supporting the Grand Old Party.
The Mail interviewed him at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee earlier this year, perhaps suggesting that he has supported the Grand Old Party once again.
He remains a member of the National Rifle Association’s board of directors, elected to another three years in May of this year, but previously described himself as “very leftist” on social issues such as marijuana legalization.
However, last year he bought a $4 million mansion in Las Vegas and moved from California, his former home, due to the politics of the famously liberal state.
‘I love California. It is the most beautiful state. Everything is wonderful except the policies,” Cain told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade.
‘The policies are just terrible. Tax policies, soft crime policies, homeless policies.’
And appearing on Fox News earlier this year, Cain said he was “backing President Trump 100 percent, without a doubt” after his macho colleague Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson refused to endorse a particular candidate for the 2024 showdown.
WWE wrestler-turned-actor Johnson had endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2016, but this year said he would keep his politics to himself because the endorsement caused “an incredible amount of division.”
But Cain said he would “never deny my endorsement because I’m not that smart.”
He added of The Rock’s silence: “He’s just going to sell his movies, he’s going to sell his football league, he’s going to sell his WrestleMania and he’s going to sell his tequila, because he’s a businessman.”
