Oscar Issac reveals a prank he pulled on the Dune director after filming his nude scene, leaving his modesty sock in Denis Villeneuve’s pocket.

Oscar Issac reveals a hilarious prank he pulled on Dune director Denis Villeneuve after filming his nude scene. The Guatemalan-American actor is known for his roles across numerous film franchises, including Poe Dameron in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the titular villain in X-Men: Apocalypse, and Miguel O’Hara in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Issac will also be making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut next month in Disney+’s Moon Knight as Marc Spector, a mercenary suffering from dissociative identity disorder who becomes a conduit for the Egyptian god Khonshu.

Villeneuve is a visionary director known for his collection of critically-acclaimed films like Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049. The first part of his adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal science-fiction novel from 1965 released last fall, grossing $400 million worldwide despite its dual release on HBO Max. Less than a week after its domestic debut, Warner Bros. greenlit a Dune 2 and set it for an October 2023 release. In the film, Issac plays Leto, the Duke of House Atreides who is bestowed with the stewardship of Arrakis. He is also the father of the primary protagonist Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and husband to Bene Gesserit acolyte Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson).

Oxtero VIDEO OF THE DAY

During a recent appearance on EW‘s The Awardist podcast, Issac revealed a hilarious prank he pulled on the Dune director. The hijinks occurred when Issac was filming his final scene when the defeated Duke Atreides is brought before his archenemy Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård). Issac insisted his character should be naked for the scene, as it was like a « Christ on the cross kind of moment. » After they were finished filming the scene, Issac left a little gift for Villenueve in his pocket. Read Issac’s recollection of the prank below:


At one point, when Denis wasn’t looking, I may have left my c–k sock in his pocket, just so he just had a little bit of me next to him when I left. Just a little, musty handkerchief.

Though Issac chose a slightly more unsavory name for the garment, he seems to be referring to what is commonly known as a modesty patch on movie sets. When filming nude scenes that aren’t meant to be too revealing, actors will often wear them to cover their private parts. On Dune, Issac’s modesty sock also happened to be the source of some on-set levity and a token for Villeneuve to remember him once he was gone.

Considering Duke Leto’s demise, Issac likely won’t be returning for a major role in Dune: Part Two. However, he could always appear via flashbacks or Paul’s prophetic visions. Other than Dune, Issac turned in another awards-worthy performance this year in Paul Schrader’s The Card Counter. Look for both films to receive recognition at the upcoming Oscars, which will announce their nominations in a few days on February 8.
