VIDEO: Piranha’s Jerry O’Connell Discusses Full Frontal Scene


When finally hits theaters, rabid fish won’t be the only things capturing our attention.

During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, – who plays a “soft core pornography mogul” in the film – made a big reveal. “I show frontal,” the married father of two teased.

Should this spoiler lure you into watching the film, O’Connell would like you to know something beforehand. “There may be some issues with the piranha…and my member…maybe,” he warned. Why? Because a “very cold” Colorado River was rushing into the body of water (Lake Havasu) they were filming in.

“So when you see me, it’s very cold water,” he insisted.

If you’d like to gauge that water temp for yourself, the film opens this weekend.

Quote of the Day: Eric Bana Wants a Nude Day

Eric Bana in The Time Traveler's Wife

“The nude scenes never felt magical. They felt like a pain in the arse. I think I should have just had one big nude day. Wouldn’t that have been a good idea? Then I could have got it all over and done with, which would have been good. Those scenes were an unnecessary evil.”

- The Time Traveler’s Wife star Eric Bana on filming nude scenes. Then again, who can blame him—working with Rachel McAdams seems rather intimidating, even moreso when doing so in your birthday suit!

Wes Anderson’s ‘Hotel Chevalier’ Free on iTunes

Hotel Chevalier balconyA 13-minute prequel to Wes Anderson’s new film, The Darjeeling Limited, has just become available as a free download on iTunes. The short film, entitled Hotel Chevalier, has been released over the internet in what seems to be a cross-promotional move by Anderson, who screened the short on the festival circuit but will not include it with the theatrical release. It appears to be a precursor to the situation which Jason Schwartzman’s character finds himself in at the beginning of Darjeeling. Knowing Wes Anderson, however, the two could have little to no relation at all.

The short involves Schwartzman and Natalie Portman as two former lovers in an uncomfortable first encounter after an apparent falling-out. As an added bonus, the two share a steamy moment in which Portman removes all of her clothes and mounts Schwartzman on a hotel bed; sadly, to the chagrin of many a fanboy, the sly camera work leaves much to the imagination. But Hotel Chevalier is classic Anderson—humorous, charming and unabashedly awkward. Look for The Darjeeling Limited in limited release this weekend—if you can bear to watch a post-trauma Owen Wilson, that is.
