Scarlett: Haunted by Crotch
Scarlett Johannson says that she was driven to distraction by the sight of Eric Bana’s man basket on the set of the upcoming The Other Boleyn Girl. Scarlett’s issue was the the codpiece (i.e., a decorative cup worn in the 15th and 16th centuries) her costar donned for the period piece. Says Scarlett:
We’d be ready to do a scene and I couldn’t look at anything else. I won’t get over that codpiece for a long time. Eric would use it as a tool. He would rest his hands or a cup of coffee on it. People would even lead him around the set by it.
Can you imagine how much more haunting and/or impressive it would have been if he could have done that without the piece? [PR-inside.com]
