What Up With Crudup's Superhero With Zero...Clothes?

Watchmen Warner Bros

Shades of Dirk Diggler, Billy Crudup goes prosthetic for his full-frontal star turn in The Watchmen. OK, the box office wasn't quite as large as hoped, and Crudup's sidestepping another important size issue in a Parade magazine interview.

"I'm not saying how much the computer helped. Actually, I didn't fully expect the interest that Dr. Manhattan's genitalia has received. But I understood his motivation for baring it all. Why would the guy with all this power really care about a uniform? He doesn't need to obey society's constraints because, if he wanted to, he could destroy society. So I think he kind of feels like, 'You know what? I enjoy a good breeze on my private parts.'"

Say what?! Sounds like Dr. Manhattan is angling for a spinoff series on Skinemax!
