Interior design geeks will know Drew Scott as one half of the hit HGTV series Property Brothers, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jonathan. While the pair are best known for their home renovation show, it turns out Drew also has some acting chops. And let's just say...it's kinda cheeky.

During a recent appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show, the duo played a game with the host, who saucily told them the answers to her questions would determine which brother was her favorite. While Jonathan was revealed to be a magician (having done a Vegas show, no less), it was Drew who stole the show. First, he was dubbed a former "thirst trapper," as Hudson gleefully displayed an image of the home renovation expert in his underwear. Drew really took the cake when Hudson asked the pair who was once a butt double.

"I was Superman's butt double back in the Tom Welling Smallville days," he admitted, to raucous cheers from the crowd. "There were a few of us depending on the shot they wanted. Tom Welling was much sexier than I was."

Hudson then turned to Jonathan and confirmed he'd never been a butt double. "I've only been a front double," he quipped, slyly.

"Oh, Lord!" Hudson cried, eyes wide. "OK!"

"Moving right along, moving right along," Jonathan replied with a grin.

If you ask me, that was even better than getting a cheeky fun fact about Drew.

Smallville, starring Tom Welling as Superman/Clark Kent, ran for ten seasons from 2001 to 2017. The coming-of-age series followed a young Clark Kent as he struggled to adjust to his budding superhero powers while concealing them from his love interest, Lana Lang, and future nemesis, Lex Luthor. It's the recipient of several Emmy Awards, in addition to Teen Choice Awards and others.

And while Drew had a tiny part in it...just goes to show that even a superhero needs a helping hand—err, butt—sometimes.
