Aaron Eckhart's private peg

10-07-2007 11:30

Aaron Eckhart clamped a clothes-peg on his genitals to make him a better actor.

The actor appears in new comedy 'Bill', alongside Jessica Alba, and needed help pretending to be in pain for one 'agonising' scene.

Eckhart - who starred opposite Katie Holmes in 'Thank You For Smoking' - star revealed to Men's Journal magazine: "I had to pretend that my nuts hurt, so I put a clothespin on my nuts.

"Otherwise, you're just learning your lines and saying them. There's no art in that.

"People say, 'Why do you want to put a clothespin on your nuts?' You know why? Because that's what I do for a living."

The 39-year-old actor is a big fan of method acting.

He bought his own motorbike after learning to ride for the part of Julia Roberts' love interest in 'Erin Brockovich'.
