Yul Brynner To Photog: Let My Penis Go

Posted Nov 6th 2006 1:08PM by TMZ Staff

Before he was a homicidal robot in "Westworld," before he was Pharaoh or King of Siam, Yul Brynner was a model. A nude model.

A full-frontal picture of the actor, taken in the 1940's for an art study, is currently up for auction on eBay. While the photo is explicit, the most surprising aspect is that Yul actually has a full head of hair. The actor, who died of smoking-related lung cancer in 1985, recorded a memorable post-mortem promo for the American Cancer Society, whose Great American Smokeout is November 16th.

The auction, because of its content, is blocked from general viewing; registered users must confirm their age before seeing Yul in all his glory.

1. Whoa. Didn't know Yul wasn't circumcised. It's a classy nude. Nothing raunchy here, folks. Unless you think nudity is wrong.

5. Wrong? What's wrong with it on "so many levels?" The only thing I think is that it shouldn't be listed under "gay" on eBay. Yul may have been a lot of things, but I don't think he was gay. The photo is ART and tastefully done. Why are Americans so damn puritanical? Geez.

6. Its a very nice nude.

But I liked him without hair.

Every year Pharaoh started looking better and better and I could not figure out why everyone wanted to marry Moses .
