Pam and Tommy Featured Prosthetic “Talking” Penis
The new docu-series on Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s famous 90s relationship has begun, and while the reception has been “luke-warm”, critics seem to be pretty amazed by the lengths (no pun intended) gone to to turn Sebastian Stan and Lily James into their counterparts, including a prosthetic penis worn by Sebastian to make his schlong look a little more like Tommy’s. Via DM:
Sebastian was required to go nude for many of the scenes, with a prosthetic member made from silicone and cast using a mold of his own penis so it could be sculpted and blended to fit.
Special makeup effects designer Jason detailed the process for GQ magazine, explaining: ‘We apply the piece by having the actor saddle himself into the appliance like a sleeve. We then glue it into place and paint it with sheer washes of colour including vein work.
‘All modesty is out the door in these scenarios and we become quick personal friends when you’re in those positions!’
One of the standout scenes from the series showed Sebastian talking to his penis, an adaptation from a bizarre chapter in Tommy’s memoirs, which required a separate appendage.
Jason told Thrillist that Sebastian was fitted with an animatronic penis that was a ‘whole different sculpture’ than the other prosthetics he donned.
Between this and the graphic sex tape scene, we think we know what we’ll be watching this weekend!
