Cooper Koch is making waves not just for his acting talent in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters, but also for his revealing nude shower scene in the series. After the release of the third episode, fans and critics have been buzzing about his performance. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Koch addressed the attention surrounding his full-frontal moment, clarifying, “Also, just to say, mine was not a prosthetic.”

As the conversation turned to iconic nude scenes in film, Koch joked about Mark Wahlberg’s prosthetic in Boogie Nights, and Cohen congratulated him, saying, “You’re very blessed, aren’t you?” Koch responded with a light-hearted acknowledgment, adding humor to the discussion.

When asked about the experience of filming the nude scene, Koch explained that it wasn’t necessarily scary, but more uncomfortable at first—especially because of the cold water. “It’s very cold,” he admitted, noting the awkwardness of the situation, particularly in the shower setting. “What scared me especially was, was the water warm at least? It was warm in the beginning.”

Beyond the nudity, the series itself, which explores the notorious story of the Menendez brothers, has drawn mixed reactions. The real-life brothers were tried for the 1989 murder of their parents, and recently, Eric Menendez voiced his criticism of the series through his wife, Timmy Menendez, on X (formerly Twitter). He stated, “I believe we have moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show.”

As fans continue to discuss both the show and its real-life implications, Koch’s candid revelations about filming are adding another layer of intrigue to the series.
