Nicholas Hoult Says Bill Skarsgård's Prosthetic Penis From 'Nosferatu' Is Framed At His Home
HuffPost
The actor recalled how the accessory seemed to raise some eyebrows.
“Nosferatu” star Nicholas Hoult was given a gift so bizarre that he shall not soon forget it.
In an Elle video released Monday, Hoult said the horror film’s director, Robert Eggers, mailed him a prosthetic penis that fellow actor Bill Skarsgård used in his portrayal of the iconic vampire Count Orlok.
“I have Count Orlok’s prosthetic penis framed at home,” Hoult told co-star Lily-Rose Depp. “There’s a scene where Bill Skarsgård is slurping my blood, and Robert Eggers asked afterwards, ‘How was that for you?’… And I said, ‘I could feel his prosthetic penis on my leg.’”
The accessory was apparently worn by Skarsgård as part off his transformation into the tall, bald vampire known for his clawlike fingers, pale skin and pointed ears.
Hoult explained that Eggers “got it [the prosthetic] framed and he sent it to my house.”
