Marilyn Manson has taken the time to discuss his role as town barber/surgeon ‘Thomas Dinley‘ in the third season of ‘Salem‘, which premieres on November 02nd, 2016. If you’ve seen this trailer, you’d be under the impression that Manson ate a leech as part of his role. As he tells Rollingstone.com:
“I was a little disappointed that the leech handler wouldn’t let me be a little bit rougher with them [laughs]. They don’t really have nervous systems, technically. But I remember as a little kid I used to pour salt on slugs. They’re probably from the same family. And I have eaten escargot before, so I figured why not eat the leech? It’s not that big of a deal.”
While it was indeed a real leech, he added:
“…I wasn’t technically allowed to swallow it. So we will agree to disagree to agree that there is a leech in my mouth that did not necessarily get eaten.”
