JAMES FRANCO WEARS A PROSTHETIC DONG

In Milk, the upcoming biopic of assassinated gay San Francisco city councilman Harvey Milk, James Franco plays the love interest opposite Sean Penn in the lead. In recent interviews with GQ and Jimmy Kimmel, Franco reveals that he and Penn share many a gay kiss, and even a nude scene. Beginning at about 4:45 of the video after the jump, Franco talks about being provided with a secret weapon.
I was very uncomfortable on the day (of the nude scene), but the makeup artist handed me this prosthetic penis. And he said, “You can wear this, it’ll make you feel more comfortable.”
So I’m diving in the pool and we’re doing this scene… And I go over to Sean, and I guess he didn’t know that I was wearing the prosthetic. And said, “Sean… You know, you’re such a great actor. You wouldn’t do a scene like this if they asked you, right? You wouldn’t dive into the pool naked, would you?” And not knowing I’m wearing this Boogie Nights prosthetic, he says, “Well James… If I was built like you, I would.” [YouTube via FirstShowing]
Any way, it sounds like a lot of fun. Nothing spices up a picture about an assassinated political leader like a couple guys with big fake cocks making out in a pool. It’s like they based the storyboard on my dreams!
On a related note, I think it’s very flattering to refer to the male member as a “dong”. Makes it sound like you’re just gonna run out and slam it against a church bell a couple hundred times. Wake up, assholes, it’s party time!
