Jason Derulo’s penis is once again making, um, headlines after he claimed it was, um, cut from the new Cats movie.
During an appearance on Radio Andy, the R&B singer insisted the filmmakers “CGI'd the d**k out."
Derulo spoke about having to wear tights for four months while shooting Cats only to see his character brought down to size on screen. Asked if he really believed his junk was digitally erased, the singer replied: “125 per cent."
He believes the CGI was likely done to keep things "as cat-like as possible" (according to a scientific study, the average erect cat penis measures 21.2 mm).
Derulo, who plays Rum Tum Tugger (make your own joke) in the big screen adaptation of the popular stage musical, was thrust into the social media spotlight on Nov. 21 when a photo he posted on Instagram clearly showed the outline of his penis.
When someone asked “what animal are you hiding,” Derulo replied: “anaconda.” He also wrote: “Don’t lie … did you zoom?” But, Instagram later yanked the pic off its platform, citing a violation of community guidelines on nudity and sexual activity.
Derulo fired back: “I have underwear on… I can’t help my size.” He later told TMZ he was not aroused in the photo, though he admitted he “might have had a semi.”
