The Umbrella Academy star Robert Sheehan jokes that his pubic hair was removed from season one with CGI

Robert Sheehan, one of the stars of Netflix's offbeat superhero series The Umbrella Academy, has suggested that his pubic hair had to be digitally removed from the first season using CGI.

Speaking to his co-star Tom Hopper in an Instagram video, the Irish actor said: "If you could see below my shoulders you would see an incredibly revealing mankini to the point where there has been a lack of grooming going on for the past six months."

Hopper, who plays Luther Hargreeves on the show, replied: "In season one of the show, didn’t they have to CGI some of your pubes out?"

Sheehan responded: "Yeah, it’s a nice little Easter egg now for anyone who is looking for a career in CGI."

"I remember when you wore those leather pants, they were quite low," remarked Hopper.

Netflix recently announced that The Umbrella Academy's second season will be released on 31 July 2020.

The series focuses on the adventures of a family of dysfunctional superheroes, and stars Ellen Page, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Justin H Min and Aidan Gallagher.

Joining the cast for season two are Yusuf Gatewood (The Originals), Marin Ireland (Homeland) and Ritu Arya (Humans).
