Felicity Huffman had a hard time finding a realistic fake penis for her latest role. The Desperate Housewives actress needed the phoney phallus to play a transsexual in new movie Transamerica but admits tracking one down was more difficult than she thought.

She said: "We were on our second day of shooting, trying on some undergarments, when I realised something was missing.

"I had to visit loads of sex shops before I found a realistic looking

flaccid penis."

Huffman recently revealed she became so attached to the prosthetic penis she had to wear in the film - she gave it a name. The sexy blonde called the false manhood Andy - after a costume assistant's

"idiot" ex boyfriend.

She revealed at the time: "I pretty much wore it the whole time except for a couple of times in Arizona when we were in the station wagon with no air-conditioning and it was too hot."
