MARLON BRANDO'S SECRET DESIRE TO BE A BAGEL

MARLON BRANDO'S SECRET DESIRE TO BE A BAGEL

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Marlon Brando is one weird guy: now comes word he wanted to play the role of Superman's father while dressed like a bagel. According to film director Richard Donner, Brando wanted to wear a costume that resembled a bagel when he played the part of Superman's father in the 1978 movie starring Christopher Reeve. Apparently, the master thespian thought he'd be more convincing as a creature from another planet if he looked like a giant bagel instead of a human. Luckily, Donner convinced Brando to ditch the bagel idea and appear in human form. Brando's secret desire to be an alien bagel is uncovered in an upcoming book "The Directors: Take One" (TV Books).
