Russell Crowe calls 'Man of Steel' costume 'a bit of a challenge' (Video)

Russell Crowe has taken on a series of iconic roles with minimal complains, but his role as Jor-El in the upcoming Man of Steel has the actor opening up about one of the “toughest costumes” he has ever had to wear.

"The spandex in this thing is like four layers," he tells MTV News. "And then when you put the ceremonial robes on top and 40-pound leather cape and all of that sort of [stuff], it's fine if you're just standing there but when you have to jump around doing fight sequences and everything, it was a bit of a challenge."

In addition to trying to maneuver in the constricting costume, Crowe explains that one of the even bigger challenges was holding his bladder.

"The main challenge is probably not being able to go to the bathroom for eight hours at a time," he confessed. "Once you're in your costume, you're stuck in it until lunchtime, because it was 20-25 minutes just to get out of it. So there was a lot of new and interesting things on this."

Crowe stars alongside Amy Adams and Henry Cavill in the Zack Snyder directed reboot of the hit comic book adventure series Man of Steel hits theaters June 14.
