Kate Bosworth Buried Alive for Superman Role  7/3/06

Kate Bosworth was mortified when she had to endure endless hours in a claustrophobic full body cast to help recreate special effects for Superman Returns.

The Blue Crush star, who plays Lois Lane in the action film, had to sport the suit to help with the effects department's motion capture efforts - but she insists the experience was worse than any stunt.

She explains, "For the film there are a lot of special effects, obviously, and I had to do a full body cast so they could literally recreate any kind of movement of any part of your body.

"It was honestly the worst experience I've ever had. I had a cast from my neck down.

"There was a ballet barre in front of me that I had to hold onto and they started painting it (the plaster) on.

"I'm holding onto the barre and it (the plaster) slowly starts to harden and it gets really hot.

"You literally feel like you're starting to get buried alive. It's horrible!"
