The stunt prep that went seriously wrong for Patrick Flueger was revealed in a clip from the Steve Harvey show featuring the “Chicago P.D.” actor. Along with co-stars Jesse Lee Soffer and Jon Seda, Flueger was part of Harvey’s “Man-Crush Monday” schtick, ostensibly presenting that week’s most appealing guy stars.
In the clip, Soffer explained that Flueger was trying on a special cup to protect him. Soffer offers to help Flueger test the cup, and he blithely agrees. But instead of adopting the correct, fully upright position during the incoming kick, Flueger crouched down slightly. The clip then shows Soffer launching his foot full force into his fellow actor’s not-at-all-protected crotch, after which the very surprised Flueger collapses onto the ground, groaning loudly, “It didn’t work!” As Soffer added during the interview, “I just made full contact,” resulting in the “Chicago P.D.” stunt-test fail that Flueger will likely never forget and, in the process, re-defining the term “man-crush” from its usual connotation.
