‘Confessions of a Superhero’ Star ‘Superman’ Christopher Dennis Found Dead At 52

HOLLYWOOD, CA. (THECOUNT) — Christopher Dennis, the Hollywood Blvd street performer known for portraying Superman for over two decades, has died. He was 52.

Law enforcement says, Dennis, who was featured in the documentary, “Confessions of a Superhero,” was found dead Saturday in the San Fernando Valley. TMZ says, his body was discovered lying headfirst in a bin that’s used for clothing donations.

Investigators believe Dennis, who was believed to be homeless, was attempting to gather clothes for himself. Our sources say no foul play is suspected.

Dennis’ story is both charming and tragic — after 2 decades of entertaining folks in Hollywood by impersonating The Man of Steel, he was the victim of a vicious assault and robbery that nearly killed him and left him without a way to make money.

Dennis was rendered homeless, but thanks to the help of friends and a Kickstarter campaign, he got a new suit that allowed him to get back on his feet … and return to the Blvd for the Superman fans.

He also appeared multiple times on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
