The Avengers: End Game actor says his “pucker hole” was “crazy burned” after the attempt.
TMI, Josh. TMI.
Yet… this is a just a wee bit hilarious.
Cards on the table, I quite like Josh Brolin. He’s a talented actor. Even when he’s doing interviews, he just seems like a decent guy. His political views are very different from my own, and he’s followed his Hollywood comrades into anti-Trumpism as evidenced by his willingness to distance himself from Trump and read Trump tweets in the voice of Thanos on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Brolin seems like a straight-shooter.
When the Thanos actor posted on Instagram that he had jumped on the “perineum sunning” trend, it was as blunt as it gets. (That’s a warning for the more sensitive ClashDaily readers.)
Let me back up for a second and explain what this “trend” is.
In November, an Instagram user, Metaphysical Meagan, was touting the health benefits of “perineum sunning” to (among other things) “bring solar energy from the sun into the organs” and prevent “the leakage of chi or life force energy from the body.”
Now, it’s bad enough that some exhibitionist on Instagram is posting a picture of herself sunning her naughty bits because of some Eastern mysticism nonsense… but, if we are to believe his post, a 51-year old A-list actor tried it.
He had a terrible experience.
Apparently, because the skin between the genitals and anus doesn’t get a lot of sunlight, it can burn rather quickly — which is what Brolin claims happened to him.
Brolin’s Instagram post reads:
Tried this perineum sunning that I’ve been hearing about and my suggestion is DO NOT do it as long as I did. My pucker hole is crazy burned and I was going to spend the day shopping with my family and instead I’m icing and using aloe and burn creams because of the severity of the pain. I don’t know who the fuck thought of this stupid shit but fuck you nonetheless. Seriously. #blackholefriday #blackholesun #severeperineumburns #santamonicafiredepartment #assholecare
Unfortunately, this Instagram post where Thanos admits that he was sunning his junk made me think of one of the memes surrounding Avengers: End Game — that one of the possible futures that Doctor Strange saw to defeat Thanos was Ant-Man crawling into his butt and then hitting the “enlarge” button on his suit.
Paul Rudd (sort-of) explains:
It’s unclear if Brolin actually did this or is just joking on Instagram, but if it is true, that’s pretty sad.
People who burn their perineum for some bizarre New Age-y reason and alleged “health benefit” are the same people lecturing you on how you vote and your political views. They call you dumb.
And they wonder why we tune them out. This is why.
