Miguel Ángel Silvestre's Cock Sock Story

.
Have you watched the trailer for the Wachowskis Netflix series Sense8 yet? I posted it yesterday, I told you it was good, I don't know what you're waiting for. Go do that, and then come back here and I'll tell you what I have to tell you. One banana two banana three banana. You're back? Okay let's do this -- Out magazine talked to Sense8's Spanish sex-supernova Miguel Ángel Silvestre (click here or click here or click here or click here for just a taste of what he's been offering)about making the show and he shared this pick-us-up story from his first day on the set...

It’s only natural to worry about your first-day-of-work outfit. But few have experienced the level of anxiety that Miguel Ángel Silvestre did when he arrived on the set of the new Netflix sci-fi drama, Sense8. Ushered into the wardrobe trailer to get into costume, he quickly found himself mortified. 

“I saw only a sack,” he recalls. “Only a cock sock! Skin-colored, with two little ties to make a knot. I said to the wardrobe girl, ‘Is this all?’ ” 

An hour later, clad only in the revealing garment, the 33-year-old Spaniard clambered into bed to shoot his very first scene for the series, a wild romp featuring three different partners of various genders. “It was my first work in the United States—in a cock sock, kissing all these people at the same time,” Silvestre says. 

Was it awkward afterward? “I felt like everybody was my best friend!” he says, laughing.

See I made you go back and watch the trailer first because I knew you'd decide after you read that story there was no point in watching the trailer, that you were sold sold sold, even without it. Miguel also talks in the interview about becoming Pedro Almodóvar's "protege" since starring in I'm So Excited which, yeah, I'm sure Pedro's put him right under his wing. I really hope this means he'll be in Pedro's next movie though, because if anybody knows how to shoot a beautiful man to full effect it's Pedro fuckin' Almodóvar. (thanks G)
