Simon Pegg has confessed he ruined Christmas with his in-laws when he accidentally put on an old video of himself waving his willy. The Shaun of the Dead and Mission Impossible actor thought it was just a holiday tape he filmed with his wife. But it included him pulling down his shorts and grabbing his manhood and swinging it around.
The red-faced actor confessed: “Everybody was in the living room, all gathered around the television watching Christmas entertainment.
“And I found a video cassette that I thought… I didn’t know what was on it. I was like, ‘Oh, this is fun! This is probably a holiday video or something.’
“So I put it on and sure enough, it’s a video of my wife and myself on holiday in Catalonia, where I’ve been going for 25 years.
“And so we started watching it and the whole family is gathered around the TV.”
Simon, 55, told the Wrong Turns podcast that he forgot that he and his wife Maureen would often joke on camera about their outfits.
He explained: “So Maureen comes up and she’s wearing this nice summer dress and it’s like, ‘This is what I’m wearing.’
“Then I step in front of the camera and I start saying, ‘I’m wearing this pair of shorts and whatever.’
“And as I’m watching myself, just a little tremor of a memory comes back to me. But not before I pulled down my trousers and shorts, grabbed my penis.
“And I go, ‘This is my shirt, this is my shorts, and this is my penis.’
“Not only do I do that, I swing it around, you know? With my hand, you know, the helicopter trick.
“But as I say it, I leap towards the television going, ‘Nooo!’ The whole f****** world slows down, but I just don’t get there in time.”
Simon said he still cringes with horror at the memory of the humiliating home movie.
He added: “The room just erupts in kind of like hilarity and disgust. I am beyond mortified.
“And my, my mother-in-law says, ‘Can we watch that again? I didn’t have my glasses on.’
“It was just horrific. And I remember saying, goodnight to Auntie Shirley that night. I said, ‘Goodnight, Shirley. Sleep well.’ And she said, ‘I will now.’
“It was horrible. Haunting. And my mum also said, ‘That’s changed!’
“Even now, as I tell it, I’m blushing. It was sweaty embarrassment.
