Cooper Koch answers everyone’s biggest question about his nude scene with monsters

Monsters star Kuiper Koch has cleared up the speculation surrounding his nude scene in the hit Netflix show.

Season two of Ryan Murphy‘s true crime anthology series spent about three non-consecutive weeks at number one on Netflix’s most-watched charts, and opinions were also split down the middle.

One of the many problems some critics raised with the show was its homoerotic portrayal of the Menéndez brothers, who are currently serving life sentences for the murder of their parents in the late 1980s.

An example of this is a scene in which Cooper, as Erik Menéndez, is depicted in the shower, which the actor was asked about during an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch what’s happening live.

Just so you know, mine isn’t a prosthetic,” Cooper noted during the countdown of iconic nude scenes, to which the host responded, “Congratulations, Cooper! You are very blessed, aren’t you?’

“Well hung,” he then replied.

Elsewhere in the interview, Cooper said he had had no problems with his full frontal scene until the water temperature in the shower dropped.

“It’s not scary, I’d say it’s just awkward at first,” he admitted. “It’s just cold, especially in the shower.”

Last month, Cooper spoke to Variety about one of the most controversial aspects of Monsters, sharing his thoughts on itscenes that suggest Erik and Lyle Menéndez could have had a sexual relationship at some point.

“You have to put it in the context of the situation, and that we’re kind of painting a picture based on someone else’s perspective,” he emphasized.

“It’s not necessarily the truth of what happened. That’s exactly what Dominick Dunne (the journalist, played on the show by Nathan Lane) is thinking, and there are other places in the story I think where it’s kind of planted to give people all these different perspectives…’

“I think the goal of the show is to bring all those perspectives together and let the audience be the jury,” he added. “And at the end of the show you just make a decision based on what you believe.

“And I think it’s a really interesting way to tell the story, and just storytelling in general.”

Cooper – who visited the Menéndez brothers in prison last month – went on to make it clear that he personally does not believe this version of events actually happened.
