The Superman cosplayer was identified as Tall Clark, a 6.8-inch-tall Brazilian man whose real name is Leonardo Muylaert.
Muylaert, a Brazilian civil rights lawyer, became an internet sensation due to his uncanny resemblance to the DC superhero.
He now travels globally doing cosplay, charity work, and appearances at events and hospitals.
