For nearly 25 years, a Christopher Reeve lookalike turned heads on Hollywood Boulevard where he found fame as a Superman impersonator.
But lately, Los Angeles resident Christopher Dennis is feeling more like Clark Kent after he said his suit was stolen last August.
Dennis — who lost his teeth and also had his laptop, phone and nearly $1,000 stolen from him during the assault — has been forced to live on the streets due to his inability to work.
“The Superman outfit is kinda like a shield for me. I get to escape my reality and my flaws,” Dennis told The Post.
Dennis, who claims to have stopped actual crimes while dressed in character, is hoping he’ll be able to go back to work soon.
“It’s my heart’s desire to be Superman out there,” Dennis told The Post.
“When I put on the outfit for the first time again and get all cleaned up, I’m gonna feel like a new man,” he added.
Now Dennis, who has set up two GoFundMe pages to help him raise money to buy a new costume, is hoping someone will come to his rescue.
The struggling impersonator is no stranger to adversity and credits his costumed persona for helping him kick his crack habit in the early 90s, Barcroft TV reported.
Dennis says he finds strength when he thinks of late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, who, after a horse riding accident, became an inspiration for people living with paralysis.
