US actor Rory Culkin has 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, who is a younger brother to famous siblings Macaulay and Kieran, plays an unnamed character who meets protagonist Dre, played by Dominique Fishback, at a nightclub and brings her back home, New York Post reports.

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 penis.

Viewers of the psychological horror series swarmed to social media to express varying reactions – from disgust to lust.

“Rory Culkin strawberry scene, please my eyes,” one person wrote. “This scene was so dirty and unnecessary.”

Another said: “Now why did I have to see Rory Culkin’s d**k in swarm just now?”

But others were quite happy by the full-frontal shot.

“I wouldn’t be put off by Rory Culkin’s … penis but maybe I’m built different,” one woman tweeted.

Another wrote: “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’ new-found 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,” 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 rumour about a woman who allegedly took her own life after listening to Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade, according to Vulture.

The rumour has since been debunked, according to the outlet.
