Okay. Years ago I found this picture online of Steve McQueen standing there with his penis out. I thought it was a fake from the start. It looks strange and awkward. It looks like he was holding a cigarette in his hand and someone just airbrushed a penis into it. I had heard both positions: 1. That it is a fake. 2. That it is real.
One guy said that he saw the picture in the book at the bookstore. Another person said it had to be a fake because, first of all, no one holds their penis like that. Second of all, in Steve McQueen's day and age a picture of a major movie icon holding his cock in his hand would destroy his career.
Well, today I was at the bookstore and lo and behold they had a copy of the book in question. I opened it, and there was the juxtaposed text: "Steve lights his 'cigarette' with a twig of dried mistletoe at the Nepenthe Restaurant in Big Sur. Steve was a tremendous 'head.'" Beside the text, the below picture -- penis in place.
Granted, it's possible that Claxton airbrushed the penis in there for a joke. But this book is published by Taschen. So, if this picture is indeed faked, it appears to have been faked by Claxton himself. As for me, I'm now leaning toward thinking it's a real picture. Fuck. What a beautiful man Steve McQueen was.
