Shia LaBeouf ‘wanted to wear a penis cam’ while shooting sex scenes to give the audience the full experience
Shia LaBeouf reportedly wanted to wear a penis cam for Nymphomaniac, which should come as no surprise.
The 27-year-old actor, who portrays Jerôme in the risqué drama about a woman’s romantic journey, is alleged to have requested director Lars Von Trier whether he might film his manhood during shooting the sex scenes so that viewers could get the complete experience.
According to the New York Post:
“Shia had wanted [Nymphomaniac filmmaker Lars] von Trier to put a camera on his penis while filming, so that audiences could have the full experience,” an insider said.
Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stella Skarsgrd, Uma Thurman, Christian Slater, and Jamie Bell feature in the film.
We doubt von Trier dismissed any notion because it was “too much for viewers” after witnessing the first section of Nymphomaniac, which is full of sequences displaying complete penetration, anal intercourse, and a montage of flaccid penises.
Prior to filming, Shia described Von Trier as “very dangerous,” and said he was “terrified” by the idea of working with him.
‘He’s the most dangerous man I’ve ever shown up for,’ he remarked. ‘I’m terrified. I’m so terrified, which is why I have to go.’
[The movie] is what you think it is. It is Lars von Trier, making a movie about what he’s making. For instance, there’s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we’re doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we’ll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening.’
LaBeouf was in Berlin for the premiere of the film, but soon stormed out of a press conference, only to appear on the red carpet with a paper bag over his head emblazoned with the words “I am not famous anymore” and pulling his own tooth out to get into his role for Fury – a move that could cost him future film roles.
Insiders, however, told the outlet that toothless Shia’s erratic behavior is all part of a performance art hoax, and that he is fully aware of the situation.
‘Everyone who knows Shia is in on the joke. It’s all part of an act,’ the person claimed.
Shia – and his now-famous paper bag – recently debuted his own free week-long art show, #IAmSorry, at the Cohen Gallery on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, where he sat in quiet wearing his I Am Not Famous Anymore paper bag.
