Lily Allen’s brother told to trim his pubic hair

Lilly Allen's little brother Alfie Allen is set to make his stage debut in Equus tonight - but producers of the sexually charged play have ordered the young actor trim his man bush before he gets up on stage and err.. naked  - because they reckon it's "out of control".

A source revealed: "The producers and director are waxing lyrical about Alfie - he is incredibly talented.

"But rehearsals for one of the play's climactic scenes, in which he appears naked alongside co-star Laura O'Toole, revealed a knotty problem - his pubic hair. Apparently, Alfie is a grower not a show-er and his unkempt bush needed to be cut back.

"It was out of control and not doing justice to his manhood..

"It was quite awkward and no one knew how to tell him and who should do it. But when Alfie was told, he took it like a man - and reached for the nail scissors. Now he can't wait to get up on stage and show off his super buff and aerodynamic bod."

Alfie takes over from Harry Potter star Radcliffe in the drama which begins a four-month nationwide tour in Chichester, West Sussex, this evening.
