Cooper Koch’s Shower Scene In “Monsters”— No Prosthetics Needed!
Cooper Koch, the rising star of Ryan Murphy’s new series Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, made waves on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”. The actor who plays Erik Menéndez shared some eye-opening facts about his role.
When the topic of famous nude scenes came up, Koch didn’t hold back. “Just to say, mine was not a prosthetic,” he said with a grin. Cohen, clearly impressed, responded, “Congratulations to you, Cooper! You’re very blessed, aren’t you?”
Koch’s cheeky reply? “Well hung.”
But there’s more to Koch than his physical assets. He opened up about past struggles in the acting world. One former teacher told him he wasn’t booking roles due to his “gay voice”.
Koch shared, “I don’t talk to them anymore. I was so stunned by it at the time.” He even demonstrated his ability to change his voice, showing his range as an actor.
Sorry, I’m taken!
For those wondering about Koch’s love life, he confirmed he’s off the market. “I do have a boyfriend, so sorry!” he said with a smile.
While Koch’s performance has been praised, Monsters has faced criticism. The show suggests a sexual relationship between the Menéndez brothers, a claim not supported by evidence.
Erik Menéndez himself has spoken out against the show’s portrayal. Robert Rand, a trial expert, stated, “I don’t believe that Erik and Lyle Menéndez were ever lovers.”
In real life, the brothers have claimed they killed their parents after enduring a lifetime of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. However, prosecutors at the time said there was no evidence of any molestation, and said the sons were after their parents’ multimillion-dollar estate.
Despite the controversy, Koch’s candid interview has certainly got people talking.
