Air travel is pretty much a nightmare any way you slice it, and actor Rachel Brosnahan has a unique solution: literal witchcraft.

Brosnahan has been jetting around the world to promote the new Superman film, in which she plays Clark Kent's savvy journalist girlfriend Lois Lane.


And before the press tour launched, she was feeling pretty jittery, because air travel has long tended to be her personal kryptonite, if you will.

During a recent visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brosnahan explained that she has been plagued by bad travel luck for a decade, so with Superman taking off it was time to get serious by hiring a witch.

She told Fallon of the globe-trotting Superman press tour:

"It’s a miracle that we made it all over the world. I have been suffering from a travel curse for the last 10 years."

Brosnahan told Fallon that her travels are "never not as stressful as humanly possible," so much so that many people refuse to travel with her.

She explained:

"Literally, Peter Safran, who co runs DC Studios, won’t travel with me. He was like, 'I'm not getting on a plane with you.'"
"Nobody believes the curse until they travel with me."

So when the Superman press tour approached, Brosnahan was "desperate."

"So I asked if anyone knew like an energy healer or a past-life reader."

Soon enough, a witch was dispatched to her house with a "wishing well and a magic wand," and once an NDA was signed, they got to work.

Brosnahan stopped short of sharing what magic the witch brought to bear, but she says it was successful.

"We tackled the curse together . . . she seemed pretty skilled and ready to take it on. I'm happy to report that it worked."

Phew! On social media, many were intrigued by Brosnahan's source of help—especially those who are self-described witches themselves.

It may not be the most conventional cure for a travel curse, but whatever works!

Superman is currently in theaters nationwide.

It's no secret that beauty standards in Hollywood are incredibly high, and that some people become incredibly mean and blunt when given a keyboard and a screen. When those two worlds are brought together, the results can be catastrophic.

Women in Hollywood arguably receive the worst treatments, with frequent comments made about their weight, their aging, and their styling, rather than the acting that they should be known for.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is competing against Democrat James Talarico for a seat in the U.S. Senate, raised eyebrows after he gushed over the country's recent July 4th celebrations but got the anniversary number completely wrong.

This year marked the United States' semiquincentennial—250 years since the country's founding. It was impossible to miss considering President Donald Trump made a great big show of it, turning what should have been a milestone anniversary into a vehicle for his narcissism and all things MAGA.
