Cooper Koch revealed that he really bared it all during Netflix’s controversial crime drama, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which was released last month.
While appearing on Watch What Happens Live, the 28-year-old actor, who portrayed Erik Menendez in the latest addition to Ryan Murphy’s Monster anthology series, shut down speculation that he was wearing a prosthetic in the show’s third episode as he went fully nude in the shower.
As Cohen, 56, counted down the top five ‘most iconic full frontal moments’ in film and television, the host noted that Mark Wahlberg wore a ‘prosthetic d**k’ in his 1997 film, Boogie Nights, in which he starred as a well-endowed male porn star.
This prompted Koch to clarify that his ‘was not a prosthetic.’
‘Well that was going to be my next question,’ Cohen mused. ‘Congratulations to you, Cooper. You’re very blessed, aren’t you.’

‘Well hung,’ Koch replied, with a smile.

Last month, Koch visited Erik and Lyle Menéndez at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego.
During their visit, they engaged with a group of around 40 inmates to discuss her ongoing commitment to criminal justice reform, according to TMZ.
A significant topic of discussion was Greenspace, an initiative led by Lyle that focuses on beautifying prison yards as a means to aid rehabilitation, according to the insider.
Erik and Lyle were convicted of brutally murdering their parents in their home in Beverly Hills in 1989, and both brothers are currently serving life in prison sentences.
The news of the meeting came after it was revealed Erik shared his thoughts on the miniseries on Lyle’s Facebook page, calling out Murphy for what he called its ‘horrible,’ ‘blatant lies’ in the series.
‘I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show. I can only believe they were done so on purpose,’ Erik’s lengthy post began.

‘Mine was not a prosthetic,’ Koch revealed
‘It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent.’
Erik is portrayed in the series by Koch, while Lyle is played in the series by Nicholas Alexander Chavez.
Javier Bardem plays their father José Menendez and Chloë Sevigny plays their mother Kitty.
He continued: ‘It is sad for me to know that Netflix’s dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime have taken the painful truths several steps backward – back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women.’
Monsters premiered on Netflix on September 19 and depicts the brothers as spoiled brats who went on a spending spree after they gunned down their parents.
Later in the series, the sexual abuse of the brothers from both of their parents is shown, which alludes to Lyle and Erik’s real motives for the killings.
He went on to decribe himself as ‘well hung’

‘Those awful lies have been disrupted and exposed by countless brave victims over the last two decades who have broken through their personal shame and bravely spoken out,’ Erik pointed out.
‘So now Murphy shapes his horrible narrative through vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander,’ he wrote.
