Superman may be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but Smallville fans still can't agree on who owns an especially beefy set of bare buns. Yes, Smallville has been off the air for over a decade, but thanks to a clip of a deleted scene posted on the old WB network site, the debate about Clark Kent's caboose continues...
As a former model, one would think actor Tom Welling wouldn't have an issue with showing a flash of his beautiful bare behind. Welling however, seemed to shy away from showing his body, even refusing to put on the Superman suit and tights for the show's finale. The official reason given was that the decision was made even before the show first aired, but that explanation seems a little suspect to me.
Then of course there's the Drew Scott factor. Yes, Drew Scott of The Property Brothers worked on Smallville as an extra during the shows early years filming in Vancouver. Scott ended up being Tom Welling's body double and in a 2020 interview with People Magazine explains his role on the show.
'So when they're doing like butt shots and ab shots, I was the one they were using.'

So it's time for you to weigh-in on Welling and decide for yourself whether it's Tom's tooshie or not. Thanks to DC poster Hawthorne, we get a better view of the deleted clip with an upscaled video.
I was firmly in the camp it was a body double, butt after seeing the slip, I'm more inclined to think it's Welling. Hawthorne makes a compelling argument, even comparing the back models of the actor in the clip with those on Welling. Spoiler alert, they match! I'm also pretty sure it's not Drew Scott. Either way, it's an ass more than worthy to belong to the man of steel.
