Why Do The Ladies Love Jimmy Olsen? 'Superman’s' Sara Sampaio Sheds Light On Why Eve Is Obsessed With Him

Cinema Blend

SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Superman. If you have not yet seen the film, proceed at your own risk!  Skyler Gisondo's Jimmy Olsen is unquestionably one of the standout heroes in writer/director James Gunn's newly releasedSuperman... but it's not exactly his prowess as an ace reporter at the Daily Planet that provides him with the scoop of a lifetime. Instead, it's because the guy has an uncanny way with the ladies – and specifically gets Lex Luther's girlfriend Eve Teschmacher caught in his thrall.  But what exactly is it that makes Jimmy Olsen so irresistible? As captured in the video at the top of this article CinemaBlend's own Jeff McCobb did his own bit of investigative journalism and went straight to the source – asking actress Sara Sampaio about Eve's obsession during the Superman press day in Los Angeles last month. Initially, Sampaio just gave it up for the attractiveness of the young journalist, but then she also admitted that there's something that is a tad broken inside her character.
