Tusk: Walrus Man True Story Explained
The walrus man in Tusk, Kevin Smith’s horror comedy about a man who is surgically transformed into a walrus, was not based on a true story, as the film humorously claims. It was, however, inspired by a fake online advertisement in which an old man offers a room in his house rent-free, but with a catch: the lucky tenant must be willing and able to occasionally dress up in a walrus costume and behave like a walrus. The man who created the fake ad is writer Chris Parkinson of Brighton, England. He posted it as a joke, but according to reports from Variety, Parkinson received over 400 responses to the ad.
