A man who was reached out by Kate Beckinsale after she heard of his incredible story took the opportunity to woo the Hollywood celebrity.
‘Shooters shoot’, ‘you won’t know till you try’, ‘what's the worst that could happen?’ whatever your rationale, sometimes you just have to take a gamble and see what happens.
For six years, one unlucky man was left with a six-inch appendage attached to his arm after his original penis fell off.
Malcolm MacDonald, from Norfolk, told his story in a 2022 documentary that aired on British TV network Channel 4.

The documentary entitled, The Man With A Penis On His Arm, just happened to be watched by celebrity and actress Kate Beckinsale, 50.
After hearing about his story, Beckinsale decided to post on her Instagram page and wished him well.
The actress said: "Literally scouring for news that doesn’t make me want to jump out of the window.

"This man said, 'It’s not every day you seen a man with a penis on his arm. Of course, I see the funny side'."
She went on: "Of course, he is from the UK.
"Of course he has done a photo shoot down the rec with a willy hanging out of his sleeve. Feel momentarily better. God bless you, Malcolm xxx."
Well, not wanting to let an opportunity pass him by, Malcolm responded to her kind words, and even offered to take her out for night on the town.

He told The Sun: "I’d be happy to take her out for saveloy and chips, anytime. I’ll pay - but she’ll have to come to Thetford.
"She seems like a nice girl and it’s great she’s read my story and what I’ve been through.
"The kisses are a nice touch too. I’m ready for dating again, so why not her? I'll even treat her to a pint down at my local boozer."

No word on whether the pair ever did end up going out, though.
In 2010, Malcolm's penis fell off after he popped an abscess on his bottom.
He suffered blood poisoning, with his fingers, toes and penis turning black.
Fortunately for the single dad, doctors were able to build him a six-inch penis, using skin grafts from his bum.

However, a lack of oxygen in the blood meant that it had to be grafted temporarily to his forearm.
However, due to delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic, he had to wait six years before he could have the penis reattached to its correct place.
