Superman and Lex Luthor are iconic DC rivals, but it seems David Corswent also gives his co-star Nicholas Hoult a hard time in real life as he trolled his outfit choice.
The hilarious exchange took place after Clark Kent actor David, 32, stepped out wearing an outfit which was near identical to Nicholas, 35, this week.
Both men sported white tank tops that showed off their muscular physiques, teamed with a pair of tailored suit trousers and dress shoes.
They also wore a sweatshirt tie around their torsos and carrying a bag as they stepped out in New York on separate occasions.
Nicholas was spotted wearing the ensemble first on June 30 in SoHo and David couldn’t resist poking fun at his seriously stylish look.
He also stepped out in the city, this time in Midtown, wearing a near-identical outfit, swapping out Nicholas’ designer bag for a plastic carrier bag.

David then playfully addressed their fashion faux pas in an Instagram post on Wednesday where he quipped: ‘Dude’s been jacking my style since 1998.’
Clearly appreciative of the joke, Nicolas reshared the post alongside a string of laughing face emoji to the tune of Rosemary Clooney’s Sisters.
The two actors have been playing into their on-screen feud during the press tour, with one video recently showing Nicholas purposefully failing to catch David in a trust fall.
He then jokingly warned viewers: ‘Never trust a super villain’.
Nicholas has been showing off a seriously chic transformation during the press tour for the new Superman film, where he takes on the role of the famous villain.
There was a striking difference to the Skins star’s appearance as he rocked a bleached blond hair do during several recent appearances.
Since his breakout E4 role 2007 Nicholas has sported dark, short hair – but the father-of-two has switched up his look for bleached locks.
Nicholas was first seen walking around Midtown looking dapper in a brown tailored suit and a tan sweater underneath, before he was seen leaving ABC Studios having changed into a white vest and light brown short-sleeved shirt.
In his third outfit change of the day, Nicholas was then seen in SoHo in the all-white ensemble, showing off his toned physique in a white vest with a sweater draped over his shoulders.

Alongside his new starring role, Nicolas also has a new role as an ambassador for Save The Children.
He made a surprise visit to a community arts centre in East London to meet children taking part in a film and multimedia workshop focused on superheroes.
Nicolas was welcomed by a group of 7 to 11-year-olds at Rich Mix in Shoreditch after they had worked on scripting, filming and acting out their own sketches on the topic.
The visit marked Hoult’s first day as an official ambassador for the charity.
Speaking on the day, he said: ‘It’s been a real privilege to meet the children here at Rich Mix on my first day as an official ambassador for Save the Children.
‘Seeing the joy they get from the workshop reminded me how much I loved film from a young age. It’s inspiring to meet such passionate young creatives from all backgrounds.’
