Gwyneth Paltrow's ski trial attorney says that the internet's comparisons of him to Clark Kent are 'weird'
  • Gwenyth Paltrow was found not liable for a 2016 ski crash on Friday.
  • Paltrow's lawyer, James Egan, spoke to "Extra's" Billy Bush following the trial.

Gwyneth Paltrow's attorney, who helped her win a ski case against her in Utah, has been getting compared to a certain superhero's alter-ego — and he said he's aware of it.

James Egan, based in Salt Lake City, represented Paltrow along with a team of attorneys from the law firm Epperson & Owens, and received attention for his looks during the trial, striking comparisons to Clark Kent, the timid reporter who transforms into Superman.

On an Instagram post by pop culture commentator Evan Ross Katz, hundreds of commenters took turns discussing the lawyer's looks.

"He's cute," journalist Katie Kouric said in one comment.

"Extra's" Billy Bush, who caught up with Egan following the final day of the trial on Thursday, asked him about the Superman comparisons.

"I have heard that. It's weird," Egan told "Extra" after laughing it off.

On Thursday, following an eight-day trial a Utah jury found Paltrow was not liable for a ski accident involving Terry Sanderson, the retired optometrist who first sued the actress for the 2016 collision in 2019.

Paltrow countersued for just $1, arguing that she was not at fault for the crash at the Deer Valley resort in Utah.

In another viral moment from the trial, Paltrow reportedly came up to Sanderson after her $1 victory and whispered into his ear, "I wish you well."

Egan did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
