Film immortal Martin Scorsese was also put to the test. Von Trier isn’t the only filmmaker who had to strategize a work-around for Dafoe’s penis either. Obviously Lars wants the characters to have genitals, but it would become a distraction: ‘Oh, they really had sex!’ If he had asked me to do it, I don’t know what I would have said. It was a good decision because, if it was me, then that’s all that people would talk about.

LV: No, too big because everybody got very confused when they saw it.ĭazed Digital spoke with Dafoe at the time and asked him similar questions about the film and the role his dick played in creating it:ĭazed Digital: There’s a lot of nudity in the film so, I have to ask, is that actually your-ĭafoe: -penis? No, it’s not mine. LV: Yes, yes, we had to have, because Will’s own was too big. PK: Hold on - you had a stand-in dick? You had to have a stand-in dick for Dafoe? We had to take the scenes out with his own dick. He’s extremely well-equipped - and we had to kind of take the scenes out of the film. Below is how von Trier explained the decision to use a smaller stunt cock for Dafoe, who was playing a therapist: And Dafoe, who was headed to a theater rehearsal at the time, replied, “I don’t really work in Hollywood anymore.”Ī lot of the talk surrounding Dafoe’s humongous dick started when filmmaker Lars von Trier told a journalist in 2009 that Dafoe’s penis bewildered people on the set for Antichrist. In fact, British journalist Simon Hattenstone once asked Dafoe point blank if the rumor that he has the biggest penis in Hollywood is true.

In the poetry of things rather than interpreting things.” As Dafoe recalled to The Guardian, “I was with the Wooster Group for 26 years because it’s in that kind of physical theater that I find my pleasures. After leaving college prematurely, he headed to New York in 1976, where he joined an experimental theater group. Perhaps artistic Big Dick Energy has helped him to plumb the depths of humanity in pursuit of truth, lending him such accolades as film’s favorite “ weird little guy.” Whatever the case, his individualist, chaotic-good energy began at a young age.Ĭase in point: Dafoe was kicked out of high school for making a “porn film,” though he maintains that the school project was about nudists - and was not, in fact, porn. But is any of this big dick hype true?ĭafoe is a one-of-a-kind sort of guy - someone you might call a “free spirit.” Known for his wide range of performances, the actor’s portrayals vary from a doomed and doubtful Jesus Christ to a mad, morose lighthouse keeper to an over-the-top Green Goblin. As in, many people have remarked how big it is. Apparently it’s a remarkably large member. Rumor has it that beloved character actor Willem Dafoe has a truly enormous penis.
