In a recent interview with Elle, 35-year-old actor Nicholas Hoult shared some interesting details about his home decor. As it turns out, one of the pieces in his house is a framed vampire penis. Yes, you read that right. But before you jump to any conclusions, let me explain.
Nicholas stars in the horror film Nosferatu, alongside Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Defoe, and Bill Skarsgard. In one particular scene, Bill's character is seen slurping Nicholas' blood with a prosthetic penis. And as a wrap gift, the director, Robert Eggers, had the prop framed and sent to Nicholas' house.
"I have Count Orlok's prosthetic penis framed at home," Nicholas revealed. "There's a scene where Bill Skarsgard is slurping my blood, and Robert Eggers asked afterward, 'How was that for you?' And I said, I could feel his prosthetic penis on my leg. And then, as a wrap gift, Rob got it framed, and he sent it to my house."
But as it turns out, getting the image framed wasn't as simple as it sounds. Nicholas had to take the frame to a local shop to get it fixed. And it was there that he realized how bizarre the whole situation was. "The frame had broken, so I had to take it to the local frame shop and I had to be like, 'Hey dude, can you fix this?'" he recalled. "He kind of didn't even blink the first time. Then, when I went back to pick it up, I think he'd clocked how weird it was that I was framing potentially this vampire penis, and he was like, 'Is this some kind of collector's piece?' And I was like, 'Hm, you could say that.'"
But framing unusual items isn't the only interesting aspect of Nicholas' experience on the set of Nosferatu. The film also features a star-studded cast, including Nicholas as Thomas Hutter and Bill as Count Orlok. And it's not the first horror flick that Nicholas has been a part of.
During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Nicholas joked about the "big rat budget" for the gothic horror film. He revealed that he had to wade through "incontinent rats" while filming certain scenes. "Some of them were trained as well," he added. "I was like, 'You couldn't have trained all of them.' There were certain pockets of them that were trained. And they were incontinent rats, so it was kinda stinky."
But despite the interesting challenges on set, Nicholas seemed to have a great time filming Nosferatu. And if you have any doubts about his dedication to the role, just remember that he was willing to wade through rats and proudly display a framed vampire penis in his home. Now that's commitment.
