Hollywood actor David Corenswet visited Singapore for the first time during the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025 and found the city’s real thrill in its soaring experiences and lush urban landscapes.
In a video collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), Corenswet, known for his role in Superman (2025) and the upcoming Man of Tomorrow (2027), explored Singapore from above. His itinerary included indoor skydiving at iFly Singapore with world champion Kai Minejima-Lee, crossing the undulating Henderson Waves pedestrian bridge, and walking through the treetops at Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree.
Corenswet also visited Bird Paradise, one of Asia’s largest bird parks, meeting rainbow-colored lories and Sally, an Oriental Pied Hornbill. The experiences offered him panoramic views of the city and encounters with the country’s wildlife.
“The Grand Prix roared, no doubt, but the real noise came from the fans flooding downtown,” Corenswet said. “Less than an hour later I was walking above the trees, looking down at skyscrapers tangled in jungle and making friends with a hornbill. It’s a metropolis nestled in a wild, natural landscape. Worth experiencing for yourself.”
Singapore’s compact size and connectivity make it easy for visitors to move from city attractions to nature reserves. Tan Yen Nee, STB executive director of brand, said the video reflects the board’s “We don’t wait for fun” campaign, aiming to engage Gen Z and millennial travelers through authentic storytelling.
During his visit, Corenswet scaled new heights and plunged into adventure across some of Singapore’s most iconic attractions.
At iFly Singapore, recently rebranded as AltitudeX Indoor Skydiving in Sentosa, he felt the rush of flying in Asia’s largest themed indoor wind tunnel. He then traversed Henderson Waves, the city’s tallest pedestrian bridge at 274 meters, its undulating wooden structure weaving through lush forest canopies.
At Bird Paradise in Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Corenswet came face-to-face with more than 3,500 birds from over 400 species, wandering through vibrant walk-through aviaries that recreated rainforests, wetlands, and exotic habitats.
His journey ended amid the treetops at the Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, where 338 rooms are nestled in verdant greenery overlooking the serene Upper Seletar Reservoir, offering a full immersion in the layers of Singapore’s rainforest—from the forest floor to the canopy above.
