Nicholas Hoult revealed what item from the Nosferatu set he has at home — but he didn’t take it himself.
The actor sat down with co-star Lily-Rose Depp for an interview with Elle, where the onscreen husband and wife asked one another prewritten questions. When she asked what’s a prop or wardrobe piece he has taken from a set, he explained that a recent one was actually a present from Nosferatu director Robert Eggers.
“I actually have Court Orlok’s prosthetic penis framed at home,” he told Depp. “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.’ After which, as a wrap gift, Rob got it framed, and he sent it to my house.”
Nonetheless, when the “gift” arrived, the frame had broken, so The Great star explained he needed to take it to an area frame shop to get fixed.
“He form of didn’t even blink the primary time,” Hoult recalled of the clerk. “Then, after I went back to select it up, I feel he’d clocked like how weird it was that I used to be framing potentially this vampire penis, and he was like, ‘Is that this some form of collector’s piece?’ And I used to be like, ‘Hm, you possibly can say that.’”
Hoult, Depp and Skarsgard star alongside Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin and Aaron Taylor-Johnson on this yr’s tackle Nosferatu, which tells a gothic tale of obsession between Depp’s haunted young woman and Skarsgard’s terrifying vampire who’s infatuated together with her, per the logline.
Hoult will next be seen on the massive screen as Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman.
Elsewhere within the conversation, The Idol star asked him who’s essentially the most energetic person within the group chat Man of Steel group chat and guessed it might be him.
“It’s not me. I’m not ever very energetic in group chats, because I get slightly bit nervous,” he admitted. “Nathan Fillion is superb within the group chat because he has a number of GIFs of himself that he responds with. Also, it’s a stunning group chat to be in because everyone will sing Comfortable Birthday to one another, and we’ll take it line by line, and other people record voice notes. That’s very sweet.”
