Willem Dafoe:Too Much Penis For Antichrist
Willem's wang is so large, Antichrist director brought in a smaller cock double.
In Danish director Lars Von Trier’s latest horror film Antichrist, which premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, you get to see a lot of shocking images. For example, don’t go see this movie if you prefer not to watch graphic genital mutilation. In one scene, Willem Dafoe’s penis is exposed to the camera, only after filming, the director decided it was necessary to reshoot with a penis double. This isn’t that uncommon. Sometimes actors don’t want to have their own wangs portrayed on the screen, or sometimes actors just have small or weird looking penises. After all, Willem Dafoe is a little on the short side. But no, the reason Von Trier decided Willem’s willy had to go was that it was just too damn big! Apparently his giant penis would be too distracting from the geyser of blood shooting out of it (sorry to spoil the plot, but that’s what happens).

Epic Penis Size: The Problem with Willem’s Willy
In Boogie Nights, Mark Wahlberg’s penis needed to be replaced with a prosthetic because his character’s penis was bigger than the actor’s. Not the case with Defoe. Moreover, the well-endowed actor apparently has no problem with showing his member on screen, but maybe it was just much too big to fit in the frame? In an interview with the Boston Phoenix, Von Trier spills the beans on Willem’s ween:
“Willem Dafoe — and I think you’ve mentioned this before — plays probably the worst therapist in the history of movies.
First of all, I have been undergoing this cognitive therapy for three years, and I tend to get sarcastic about it. One of the main ideas behind the treatment is that a fear is a thought, and a thought doesn’t change reality. But you can say in the film that it’s changed reality. As for Dafoe, I wouldn’t let him treat her in any other way than with his dick; he has an enormous dick. We had to take those scenes out of the film. We had a stand-in for him because we had to take the scenes out with his own dick.
You had a stand-in dick for Dafoe?
We had to, because Will’s was too big.
Too big to fit on the screen?
No, too big because everybody got very confused when they saw it.”
So here’s a specific scenario when a mammoth penis size isn’t a good thing: if your giant weenis could be misinterpreted as unwanted and confusing symbolism in an art film. An average-sized penis is a neutral penis; a giant penis is a penis of significance, which could be confusing. Talking forest animals, bloody genital mutilation, and cryptic misogynistic symbolism, which are also featured in this film…not confusing at all. Ironically, the one instance where it decidedly wouldn’t be too distracting to show Willem Dafoe’s penis was when he depicted naked Jesus in Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. Go figure.
