Hoult’s Hunky Handiwork
Our Ask Billy question comes from Kasey in Chicago: “I read that Nicholas Hoult was given a dildo as a gift from Nosferatu. What’s that all about?”
First things first – I was shocked to learn Nicholas Hoult was straight! Sure, he dated Jennifer Lawrence, but you know – whatever. After I saw A Single Man, I was sure he was gay. I dunno if it was the film, his eyebrows, or that angora sweater. It just all screamed gay to me. He’s apparently straight and has two kids. Anyway, back to Kasey’s question – Nicholas starred in Nosferatu with Bill Skarsgård. The dildo (it’s actually a prosthetic penis) belonged to Bill. I’ll let Hoult explain: “I have Count Orlok’s prosthetic penis framed at home. There’s a scene where Bill Skarsgård is slurping my blood and Robert Eggers [the director] asked, ‘How was that for you?’ and I said, ‘I could feel his prosthetic penis on my leg.” After the filming wrapped, Eggers sent him the penis in a frame. A curious codicil to this story is that at some point, the frame got broken. So Nicholas brought it to a shop to be re-framed. He was certain the guy would ask about the object, but he didn’t even bat an eye…until it was ready for pickup. He asked Hoult, “Is this some kind of collector’s piece?” Nicky said, “Yeah, you could say that.” You could also see it on BillyMasters.com.
When straight men are collecting penises (penii?), it’s definitely time to end yet another column. We should also note the death of Anita Bryant. Sure, she was notably against gay rights, but I’ll always remember her as that Florida orange juice lady. I know we tend to vilify people with different viewpoints, but I was nonetheless stunned when folks online were comparing Bryant to Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. Not only do I not think these are apt comparisons, it gives Anita just a tad too much importance. She was certainly entitled to her opinion – just as others were entitled to protest her and, in one instance, pelt her with a banana cream pie (in refusing to press charges, she quipped, “At least it was a fruit pie!”). She knew her views would be career suicide, but she had her convictions…something very few people do. I know, I know – stick with hot nude men, Billy. And you’ll find plenty of them on www.BillyMasters.com – the site that can’t be put in a box…or a frame! If you’ve got something worth framing, send a photo along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before I troll LA hot spots in hopes of running into Matt Gutman and David Muir! So, until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
