10 Weirdest Things Actors Were Cast As
10. Horst Baron Steps In Because Willem Dafoe's Penis Is Too "Enormous" - Antichrist
Keeping in the vein of the darker side of the film and TV-making world, Lars Von Trier's Antichrist sees Willem Dafoe's He embroiled in a rather freakish and deeply unnerving sexual exchange with Charlotte Gainsbourg's She at one point in the largely experimental horror flick.
And though the scene itself can undoubtedly be classed as one of the weirdest back-and-forth's you're ever likely to see pop up on a television screen, a piece of casting that went into bringing it to life is arguably even stranger still... mostly due to the reasons behind it coming into play.
With Dafoe himself offering to strip down and show himself off completely for the moment, Von Trier was forced to inform his actor that he just could not allow him to appear fully in the buff for the moment in question. Simply put; his junk was "too big" for the film.
As the director would explain, he had to pull the plug on Dafoe's dude being seen "because everybody got very confused when they saw it", opting for porn star Horst Baron to step in for the moment where he disturbingly ejaculates blood in the feature instead. Lovely.
