LIBERACE portrayer MICHAEL DOUGLAS did more than tickle the keys but drew the line at ginormo male member viewing—for the sake of the children!
While Douglas had no problems filming intimate love scenes with costar Matt Damon who plays Liberace’s lover Scott Thorson in HBO biopic “Behind the Candelabra” he drew the line at allowing men’s penises to dart across the screen.
“Liberace loved sex, and I didn’t have a problem with that,” Douglas told New York mag.
“But, at one point, (director) Steven Soderbergh wanted to show Lee (Liberace) watching a gay porno…
“I said, ‘I’d like my kids to see this R-rated movie, but I don’t want to show them a 14-inch d**k!’ It was the only thing I objected to, so we cut to different parts of the apartment during the porno,” Douglas admitted.
“It may not have been 14 inches, but it was huge.”
No doubt the dictatorial Douglas will later allow an X-rated director’s cut released to appease his ever growing legion of gay admirers.
