After returning home from the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he became an overnight sensation as the "Clark Kent" of gymnastics, Stephen Nedoroscik received a surprise from none other than "Superman" himself, courtesy of the nonprofit Gold Meets Golden and its partner, Samsung.

Actor David Corenswet, who stars as Superman in the upcoming "Superman: Legacy," sent a video message to Nedoroscik, congratulating him on his success in Paris, where he won two bronze medals and stole hearts all around the world. 

"From one Clark Kent to another, thanks for bringing home the medal for the United States and for continuing to fight for truth, justice and the core strength of 50 normal men," Corenswet said in the video as Nedoroscik watched, grinning from ear to ear. "Thanks for being exceptional man. Well done!" 

Gold Meets Golden thanks to its partner Samsung also gifted Nedoroscik with a 98-inch Samsung TV, allowing him to relive his memorable Paris moments on the big screen—and, of course, play his video games, too.
