London, Sep 20: It seems movie legend Jack Nicholson’s fans will be left in a state of shock after seeing him wearing a dildo for a sleazy scene in his new upcoming thriller flick The Departed.

The 69-year-old actor revealed that he wanted to add to the sick sexual nature of his character Frank Costello by wearing the strap-on sex toy.

However, despite receiving initial criticism about his idea, Nicholson’s movie co-star Matt Damon admitted that the saucy 'prop' made a positive impact during the making of the Martin Scorsese film.

"I thought that was a good idea to get into the scene. Jack brought this incredibly new layer to that character. He made him more obscene in a way that felt authentic,” the Sun quoted Damon, as saying.

"I said to Marty: 'If Jack is introducing this sexual element into this, then it's fair game in the script and we have to reference it from my character's stand point,” he added. (ANI)
