Henry Cavill visits 'Sesame Street' -- EXCLUSIVE PHOTO
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
By Emily Rome on Sep 16, 2013 at 9:00AM @EmilyNRome
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Super Grover and Superman!
Season 44 of Sesame Street kicks off on PBS today, and as has become custom, some familiar faces will appear on the beloved kids show throughout the season. On the premiere, which airs at 10 a.m. ET/PT, Elmo, Cookie Monster, et al. will be visited by Charlize Theron and Dave Matthews. Then in Tuesday’s episode, things will get heroic on Sesame Street when Superman himself, Man of Steel star Henry Cavill, swoops in.
The British actor filmed his segment during Sesame Street‘s annual Celeb Week, when the show’s New York-based cast and crew pack up their puppets and fly to Los Angeles for a few days of taping celebrity guest appearances. Celebs like Usher and Ginnifer Goodwin step on set on the hour, every hour for back-to-back tapings of segments for the show’s upcoming season.
Cavill appears in a “Word on the Street” segment with Elmo, the Three Little Pigs, and the Big Bad Wolf to teach kids about the word “respect.” But of course the newest Superman couldn’t leave set without taking time to meet another Muppet — or, rather, the alter ego of another Muppet — who knows a thing or two about wearing capes and saving the day. Before leaving set to get back to his busy Man of Steel promotion schedule (his Sesame Street visit was a mere week ahead of the blockbuster’s release), he took time for a photo opp with Super Grover.
Cavill was quite laugh-prone while taping with the Sesame Street Muppets, who had him cracking up when they launched into gags with a prop cake between takes. But Cavill had his chance to get the Muppets and puppeteers giggling too: At one point during shooting, a light high up on set blew out. Leslie Carrara-Rudolph — who was taking a break from puppeteering Abby Cadabby to operate one of the pigs — said, “We have Superman right here. He’ll just fly up and fix it!” And Cavill gamely played along, miming soaring upward with a lightbulb, looking just the part for the Man of Steel, chin up and dignified.

Daniel Radcliffe will swap Broadway for Sixth Avenue when he takes part in this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York.
The Harry Potter actor, who has been starring in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying since February, will join his fellow cast members on the famous parade in its 85th year.
Broadway shows are always well represented among participants. Cast members from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Sister Act and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will also take part. They will be joined by children from summer stage schools Camp Broadway and Stagedoor Manor, while the Radio City Rockettes, a precision dance company that has been a Christmas fixture on Broadway for 77 years, will also make their traditional appearance.
The parade is something of an American institution, perceived as the start of the holiday season. It features floats and giant helium balloons of popular cartoon characters including Bart Simpson and Shrek. This year's event, which starts at 9am local time on 24 November, will be broadcast live on television by NBC.
Also performing alongside Radcliffe will be pop stars Mary J Blige, Cee-Lo Green and Neil Diamond, as well as the cast and Muppets of Sesame Street.
Since its revision in 2009, the parade route starts at Central Park West and 77th Street, before turning on to Seventh Ave and, finally, Sixth Ave, continuing until it reaches Macy's store itself at Herald Square.
