Cooper Koch clarifies whether he wore a prosthesis for the Monsters nude scene

“Monsters” star Cooper Koch has cleared up speculation surrounding his nude scene in the hit Netflix show.

One of the many criticisms that some critics expressed about the series was the homoerotic portrayal of the Menéndez brothers, who are currently serving a life sentence for the murder of their parents in the late 1980s.

An example of this would be a scene depicting Cooper as Erik Menéndez in the shower, which the actor was asked about during an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live.

Just saying, mine isn’t a prosthetic,” Cooper remarked during a countdown of iconic nude scenes, to which the host responded, “Congratulations, Cooper! You are very blessed, aren’t you?”

“Well hung,” he then replied.

Elsewhere in the interview, Cooper said he had no problems with his full-frontal scene until the water temperature in the shower dropped.

“It’s not scary, I would say it’s just uncomfortable at first,” he admitted. “It’s just cold, especially in the shower.”

Last month, Cooper spoke to Variety about another of the most controversial aspects of Monsters and shared his thoughts on it Scenes suggesting that Erik and Lyle Menéndez may have been involved in a sexual relationship at some point.

“You have to put it in the context of the situation and make sure that we are painting a picture based on another person’s perspective,” he emphasized.

“It’s not necessarily the truth of what happened. That’s exactly what Dominick Dunne (the journalist portrayed in the series by Nathan Lane) thinks, and I think there are other places in the story where it’s used, so to speak, to give people all these different perspectives convey …”

“I think the goal of the show is to bring all of these perspectives together and make the audience the judges,” he added. “And at the end of the show, you just make your decision about what you believe.

“And I think it’s a really interesting way to tell the story and tell stories in general.”

Cooper – who visited the Menéndez brothers in prison last month – further made it clear that he personally does not believe this version of events actually took place.
