Amanda Seyfried Really Wants You To Know That She Wore A ‘Prosthetic Butthole’
“It was cool, it was exciting,” the actor said.
…and it wasn’t in the musical Cats.
It was for The Testament of Ann Lee , a movie one would not think particularly anus-centric.(Ann Lee was the founder of the Shakers)
This raises all sorts of questions:
1.) What?
2.) Since, as the article says, you don’t even see it in the film, what’s the point?
3.) Why did she need a prosthetic? Was her own unattractive (as ani go)? Or was she embarrassed to be seen with a naked anus, but could do it if the one shown was not, in fact, her real one.
4.) Will she be appearing an any other forthcoming movies wearing interesting and unusual prosthetics?
5.) I understand the saying “any publicity is good publicity”, but this makes me consider questioning that piece of show-biz knowledge.
As Lee birthed four children (all of whom died in infancy), Fastvold sought to depict the births “as real and direct and graphic and unapologetic as possible” using prosthetic vaginas.
So maybe the prosthetic undercarriage used in the birthing scenes had a front and a back.
I’m reminded of an episode of Friends where Joey was auditioning for a part that called for full frontal, noncircumcised nudity. He had been circumcised, so he was trying to figure out how to rig up a fake foreskin. I mean, I’ve seen like maybe a dozen episodes of that show over the years, and THAT had to be one of them. Hmph.
