Theo James smashed the internet last year with his revealing nude scene in the season premiere of The White Lotus.
After months of speculation, the 37-year-old English actor ended the rumors in a recent appearance on The Tonight Show when he admitted to wearing prosthetic limbs over his manhood.
When asked if he went au naturel to film, Theo confessed he received help from the costume department and joked that he was shocked by the “ginormous” item.
He explained, “The truth is, you go into these things and you have a conversation with the director and the producers, and they’re like, ‘Okay, we’re going to use a prosthetic for that, we’re going to use something.’ It’s a pee-pee thing. Prosthesis!’
But the use of prostheses on the set is not all that unusual. Now let’s take a look at other stars who have chosen to use fake phalluses in filming.

Sebastian StanPam & Tommy
While taking on the role of Tommy Lee in the Pamela Anderson biopic, Sebastian donned a silicone prosthetic cast using a mold of his own penis so it could be molded and blended to fit.
Explaining the process for GQ magazine, special makeup effects designer Jason explained, “We apply the piece by having the actor saddle into the device like a sleeve. We then glue it in place and paint it with gossamer gradients including grain.
“In these scenarios all modesty is gone and we quickly become personal friends when you are in these positions!”

Jonah Hill – The Wolf of Wall Street
In one of the most bizarre scenes in The Wolf of Wall Street, Jonah Hill drops his pants and starts masturbating in the middle of a crowded party.
Speaking of the scene, Jonah said, “There were a lot of background artists on set that day who hadn’t read the script, so they just know they’re in a scene and a guy is pulling his genitals out and masturbating in in front of them at a big party.
“So for them it was really funny, but for the main characters it’s really inappropriate and disturbing. So I had to tell everyone that their first instinct was to laugh, but I had to take it very seriously in order for us to get the appropriate response.”
