You first got to know him in Stand By Me, you loved to hate him in Jerry McGuire and now you’ll get more of him than you ever hoped, when Jerry O’Connell goes full-frontal in 3D. The long-time actor bares it all, in a way that’s never been done in a mainstream film, for the upcoming horror comedy Piranha 3D.
Besides giving audiences a reason to avoid seeing the film on Imax, O’Connell’s nudity marks a significant milestone in the history of movies – this is the first time full-frontal male nudity will appear on-screen in a 3D Hollywood production. Yes a variety of guys have appeared full-frontal in mainstream movies, and yes, a variety of pornographic 3D movies made over the last few decades, but no film has put the two together. And certainly none of those XXX 3D movies featured as big a star.
Not that he’s all that big, apparently. In an interview on the Jimmy Kimmel show, O’Connell went to great lengths to point out that the body of water they filmed in, Lake Havasu, is very, very cold. He also hinted at the scene in question, saying it may involve both his member, and a hungry piranha or two.
