Tenoch Huerta, who plays Namor in “Wakanda Forever”, confirms that the photo of his leaked dick bulge on the internet is not real and that his crotch size was not digitally reduced.

Tenoch Huerta spends nearly all of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" in a pair of green Speedos, something that comes with the territory when playing Marvel's wing-footed antagonist Namor.

But was his crotch digitally altered in the final cut of the film?

That's a theory that started going around the internet after one fan posted a shot of Huerta from the first trailer released at Comic-Con, compared to a grab seemingly from the movie as it appeared in theaters.

"GIVE NAMOR HIS PENIS BACK," exclaimed a tweet which has since gone viral, prompting speculation Marvel possibly used CGI to, as Rolling Stone put it, "make everything less prominent" in the finished film.

The publication asked Huerta himself what he thought of all the online conversation about his bikini area -- where he confirmed the photo sans bulge was actually the real deal.

"The only thing I can say is: the original was the photo in the right. Without [the bulge]! That's original," he told the outlet. "No, I mean, I'm not going to lie to people. Every man in the world, we have fragile masculinity, but not in that issue. I will say, the right one, the real one is the photo on the right."

The actor was also asked how it feels to step into a role where he knows he'll have to stay in fantastic shape for as long as he'll play the character. As Namor is still very much alive by the end of the film and will clearly play a big role in the future of the MCU, he'll be rocking those short shorts ... and not much else ... for years to come.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Huerta clarified that one of the images from the viral tweet is fake. And unfortunately, it’s the one without the bulge. He said that the image on the right was the original and the one on the left was fake. What’s ironic was that fans assumed that the photo on the right was edited so it would be appropriate for the movie. Huerta said that he wanted to be honest with people, even if it meant admitting that his size isn’t what people expected.

“The only thing that I can say is: the original was the photo in the right. Without [the bulge]! That’s original. No, I mean, I’m not going to lie to people. Every man in the world, we have fragile masculinity, but not in that issue. I will say, the right one, the real one is the photo on the right.”
