Batman Actor Burt Ward Was ¡®Told To Take Pills To Shrink His Penis¡¯ As His Bulge Was Too Big For TV
We all love superheroes and their costumes, don't we? But have you ever tried one? If you have, you would know how embarrassing that is to wear, especially when you have to wear the tights. How do these actors manage to pee??
But did you know actors, directors and costume designers take special notice of how big the bulge should be??
For instance, Batman actor Burt Ward, who played the role of Robin in Sixties TV series, recently revealed that he was told to take pills to shrink his penis. Why? Because the makers of the show thought that he ¡°had a very large bulge for television¡± unlike Batman actor Adam West who reportedly had ¡°Turkish towels in his undershorts¡±.?
Burt Ward said that he was sent to a doctor to shrink his penis. He was given medication for that. He took the pills for three days. However, he quit taking them soon because he thought "they can probably keep me from having children. I stopped doing that and I just used my cape to cover it.¡±
He also said that he could have become a nuclear physicist if he had not taken up the role in the show, which ran between 1966-1968.
¡°I was a straight-A student at UCLA. In fact, the Dean at UCLA was upset with me when I left in my third year to do Robin because she said I should have been a nuclear physicist. I was in the top 3 per cent in the United States in science and math," he was quoted as saying by Page Six.
Is it really necessary for all superheroes to show their crotch bulge in those extra-tight costumes??
