Cooper Koch Opens Up About 'Monsters' Nude scene | HuffPost Entertainment

Cooper Koch is coming clean about that nude scene in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

Koch, who portrays real-life convicted murderer Erik Menendez on the Netflix crime drama, confirmed on Watch What Happens Live that he is, in fact, baring all in a much-buzzed-about shower sequence in the series third episode.

Just to say, mine was not a prosthetic, Koch told host Andy Cohen during a discussion of the most iconic full-frontal nude scenes on film.

After Cohen complimented him on his, um, appearance in the scene, the actor quipped: Well-hung!

The top 5 most iconic full frontal moments #WWH5 #WWHL pic.twitter.com/CcN8hH3JOz
Watch What Happens Live! (@BravoWWHL) October 15, 2024

Elsewhere in his Watch What Happens Live interview, Koch offered more select details about the scene.

Its not scary. Id say its more uncomfortable at first, he said, when asked if he was nervous about appearing nude on camera. And its very cold, especially in the shower.

Monsters, which premiered on Netflix last month and was co-created by Ryan Murphy, has turned out to be a breakout moment for Koch. The series also stars Javier Bardem and Chlo Sevigny as Jos and Kitty Menendez, who in 1989 were murdered by their sons Erik and Lyle Menendez, the latter of whom is portrayed by Nicholas Alexander Chavez.
