Shia LaBeouf has confessed that he had sent a snapshot of his penis to the production team of Lars Von Trier's upcoming film 'Nymphomaniac'.

The 27-year-old actor said in an interview with Zentropa Productions, that sending a picture of his genitalia was the first request that he received from the team, which made the actor's entire team react with fear, the Huffington Post reported.

He said that Trier's offer letter read if he was "game" to appear in the movie, and he believes that his first test was to determine the time he would take to send a picture like that online.

LaBeouf added that he sent the picture in about 20 minutes, which made the production team think that he was ready for the role.
