Superman can famously fly faster than a speeding bullet – but the British actor who plays the superhero needs an ‘emotional support dog’ to board a plane.

Man Of Steel star Henry Cavill, 31, was seen arriving for a flight at Los Angeles’ LAX airport last week with his dog, which was wearing a vest with the words ‘Working. Do not pet. Emotional Support Dog’ emblazoned on it.
