Hollywood Star’s Bizarre Wicker Husband Role Sparks Unbelievable Reactions — Even Gynecologists Are Chiming In!
So here’s a wild thought: what happens when Hollywood’s hunky Alexander Skarsgård steps out of the usual leading-man frame and morphs into a giant, rattan-woven husband? Well, apparently, the internet goes absolutely bonkers — and not just with admiration but with a very spicy kind of fascination. The film Wicker, which dropped on October 23 and stars Olivia Colman as a lonely fisherwoman who orders a handmade basket-husband, has unleashed a tidal wave of suggestive memes, quirky home decor comparisons, and even a little intervention from medical pros worried some fans might take their fantasies a tad too literally. Because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t wonder: is a wicker man really the perfect partner? And more importantly, should anyone be taking their wicker fantasies to the bedroom? Let’s dive into the buzz, the warnings, and the unabashedly strange online obsession that’s got everyone talking. LEARN MORE.
The release of Wicker on October 23 turned its leading man, Alexander Skarsgård, into the subject of an unusually spicy online obsession.
The film stars Olivia Colman as a lonely fisherwoman who commissions a basketmaker to create a husband for her, only to discover that her handcrafted companion can satisfy her in more ways than one.
- Alexander Skarsgård’s role in Wicker sparked an unexpectedly suggestive online frenzy.
- Medical experts cautioned against using wicker objects for intimate activities, highlighting the risk of injuries and infections.
- They also shared safety precautions for those considering the trend despite the potential hazards.
While viewers have been busy imagining what life with a “6’5, blue-eyed man woven from rattan” would look like, medical experts have stepped in with some rather serious words of caution.
“Fantasy is healthy and to be encouraged,” said Dr. Amy Novatt, an OB-GYN at intimate wellness brand Dame. “My concern begins where fantasy tempts us to act it out literally at the expense of our health.”
Alexander Skarsgård’s wicker man role sparked such wild reactions that health experts had to intervene
Netizens have shared pictures of various oddly shaped home accessories that have suddenly taken on a rather different appearance since they walked out of theaters after watching Wicker.
“I just know it looks like this,” one user commented alongside a picture of a wooden cone.
“Wicker doesn’t splinter when it’s wet,” another quipped.
Reactions to Skarsgård’s movie have been so intense that even IKEA appeared to join the conversation, describing its wooden lamps, ottomans, cabinets, and headboards as “husband material.”
However, Dr. Novatt was less amused by the possibility of people attempting to recreate the film’s premise.
Speaking to The New York Post in an interview published on October 15, she warned that wicker objects could cause serious injuries if used for intimate exploration.
“Wood can splinter, and plant material harbors bacteria and molds that can cause infections,” she explained.
The gynecologist revealed that she had treated several women who sustained cuts, tears, and other complications while experimenting with foreign objects. Some of these cases were serious enough to require surgical intervention.
Novatt further explained that although the tissues in the lady bits can heal relatively quickly, that does not mean people should deliberately expose them to potentially harmful substances.
“It was not designed for receiving trees, shrubs or other plants,” she told the publication.
Dr. Evan Goldstein, a proctologist and founder of New York-based Bespoke Surgical, and Alex Hall, creator of The Bottom’s Digest, an inclusive, gut-healthy educational platform and digital cooking brand dedicated to anorectal wellness, also weighed in on the matter.
The experts highlighted the risks of getting intimate with a wicker object from the other end
In an October 30 interview with Out, Dr. Goldstein acknowledged that “in theory, the a*us is very adaptable,” adding that “with enough patience, dilation and lube, the pelvic floor can learn to accommodate quite a lot.”
However, he also shared that he had spent the “past 15 years repairing damage from things people swore were ‘body safe,’ and a wicker p*nis had never once made that list.”
The surgeon explained that wicker is generally made from woven willow, reed, or bamboo, meaning its wooden construction presents several problems, including the possibility of splinters.
“The anal canal is lined with some of the most sensitive skin in the body,” he told Out. “A splinter there is a very specific kind of emergency, and it usually ends with someone like me, a good internal camera and some surgical tools.”
Another complication, according to the doctor, involves lubrication.
Water-based products can soak into the reeds and cause them to swell, while silicone-based alternatives can become trapped within the woven material.
