Nicholas Hoult was gifted the prosthetic pole Bill Skarsgård wore in 'Nosferatu' & we're gagging

Hoult and the prosthetic clearly had a bond. So naturally, when production wrapped, Egger had it framed and mailed to Hoult's home. It's sweet, like how Viggo Mortensen bought the horse who played Brego after filming wrapped on Lord of the Rings (fun fact: he also bought the horse that played Asfaloth and gifted him to the Arwen's stunt double, Jane Abbot). It's totally exactly like that.

Then, tragedy struck. The frame broke while in transit, so not only would displaying the penis have to wait, Hoult was now stuck with the overwhelmingly awkward task of getting it reframed. Hoult took it to a frame shop, where the framer worked his magic, though he did have some questions when the job was done.

“He kind of didn’t even blink the first time, and then when I went back to pick it up, I think he had clocked how weird it was, what I was framing, potentially, like, this vampire penis?” said Hoult. "And he was like, 'Is this some kind of collector's piece?' and I was like 'Yeah...you could say that.'"

Hoult stars in Nosferatu as Thomas Hutter, the real estate agent unfortunate enough to find himself helping Count Orlok purchase a home in Hutter's town. Egger's film is a reimagining of the 1922 silent German Expressionist film of the same name, which itself is one of the most famous (and unofficial) adaptations of Bram Stoker's 1897 epistolary horror novel Dracula.

Nosferatu is available to view in movie theaters nation wide starting today, December 24. Watch Hoult and Depp's full interview below.
