What You Won’t See in ‘The Departed’

Wanting to add a wild “sexual component” to Mafia boss Frank Costello in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming The Departed, Jack Nicholson suggested an off-the-cuff idea to the director that was shot, but ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. As he earlier told Rolling Stone, “Look, I just thought of what would be an interesting scene for my character - him having wild sex. And in this scene with two girls, one of the girls is wearing a strap-on. This was my idea and it was improvisational, and Marty went for it.” (via All Headline News)

Once the film premiered in New York on Tuesday however, the sex-aid was nowhere to be found in the aforementioned scene - amongst the hookers, the Joker, and the cocaine. However, Jack’s new toy did sneak into another moment in the film, where the playful Nicholson flashes co-star Matt Damon’s character in an adult theater. Via Defamer.
