Cooper Koch is proud of his masculinity.
The 28-year-old actor appeared “See What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” On Monday, some clarifications were made about his role as Eric Menendez on the Netflix hit “Monsters.”
Andy Cohen was counting down Hollywood’s “top five most iconic full-frontal moments” when Koch announced, “Let’s just say, mine was not artificial.”
“Okay, that was going to be my next question!” Cohen, 56, told Koch, who smiled at the camera as he made his confession.
“Congratulations to you, Cooper,” the “Real Housewives” producer said.
“Thanks,” the coach said back.
Cohen then told the openly gay actor that he is “so blessed” – to which Koch responded, “Awesome.”

in an interview with Wrap Last month, Koch revealed how hard he had to prepare to play Eric on the show.
“I moved my trailer into Eric’s room so I had clothes everywhere, and there were pictures of him on the wall, there were pictures of me,” Koch said. “I watched videos of myself when I was really young and I saw how my parents treated me, which gave me a level of gratitude for my family and my parents.”
“I listened to (Eric) and looked at him with reverence,” he said. “And I had my music, I had different kinds of magazines, all kinds of things that really helped me feel like her and be like her.”
The success of “Monsters” (which also stars Nicholas Alexander Chavez in the role of Lyle) has raised the possibility that the Menendez brothers may finally be released from prison.

Eric, now 53, and Lyle, now 56, argued at their trial that their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, had sexually abused them, and killed them in self-defense — but the jury still found them guilty.
