Some thought it was a berry nice scene; others, not so much.
Rory Culkin shocked viewers by going full-frontal in the pilot episode of the Amazon Prime Video series “Swarm,” which premiered on March 17.
The 33-year-old actor, whose famous siblings include Macaulay and Kieran, plays an unnamed character who meets protagonist Dre, played by Dominique Fishback, at a nightclub and brings her back home.
The show then cuts to a scene of Dre waking up to find Culkin’s character stark naked — with a glass bowl filled with strawberries pressed against his flaccid penis.
Viewers of the psychological horror series swarmed to social media to express varying reactions — from disgust to lust — at the moment that many likened to a jump scare.
“No way they had Rory Culkin in this show just to show his cawk and dip?!” one viewer tweeted in astonishment.
“Rory Culkin strawberry scene pls my eyes…” another complained. “This scene was so dirty and unnecessary.”
One Twitter user asked, “Now why did I have to see Rory Culkin’s d – – k in swarm just now.”
But others were quite excited by the full-frontal shot.
One Culkin fan made her reaction to the scene well-known.
“I wouldn’t be put off by rory culkin’s squashed, flaccid penis but maybe I’m built different idk,” she tweeted.
Another Twitter user, @DeviantLia, took it a step further, posting, “Rory Culkin I wanna be your slave.”
Culkin, who’s best known for his work as part of the “Scream” franchise, has had a devoted cult following for years.
Many of his fans joked about being distressed over mainstream viewers’ newfound lust for the actor, but some appeared to be seriously upset by the phenomenon.
“Rory Culkin going viral for a d – – k scene in Swarm and not for his amazing acting in anything else makes me ill .. i hate that THAT scene is what’s gonna introduce a lot of people to Rory … I hate the internet,” one follower commented.
Others simply didn’t know how to react to the now-infamous strawberry scene.
“Rory Culkin is naked in this OMG,” a shocked viewer wrote, while another added, “I really wasn’t expecting to see Rory Culkin’s penis on this wonderful Friday morning, but here I am.”
“Swarm,” which was created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabers, is based on a rumor about a woman who allegedly committed suicide after listening to Beyoncé’s 2016 album “Lemonade,” according to Vulture.
The rumor has since been debunked, according to the outlet.
Culkin’s berry-baring wasn’t the only shocker in the premiere episode, as Chlöe Bailey also faced backlash Monday due to a “very unnecessary,” graphic sex scene.
Alongside Culkin, his penis and Fishback, the show also features Billie Eilish, Paris Jackson and Byron Bowers.
