John Leguizamo is having intimacy challenges.

On Friday, March 21, The Menu actor, 64, appeared on The View to promote his new movie Bob Trevino Likes It. After making his entrance, co-host Joy Behar asked him if he enjoyed their Hot Topics segment, a conversation about sex.

“I’m on Propecia, so it’s a different thing," Leguizamo said, referring to his hair loss. "Propecia for your hair makes your thing not work as much, so then you have to take Viagra to undo the Propecia."

"But, I want to have good hair,” he quipped. “It’s an up-and-down thing.”

The audience laughed before Leguizamo teased, "I’m sorry I started so rudely!"

During the show, Leguizamo later opened up about the release of his new project, Bob Trevino Likes It, and his love for working on indie films.

In the movie the actor plays the titular Bob, whom a young woman named Lily (Barbie Ferreira) friends on Facebook thinking he is her estranged father Robert Trevino (French Stewart).

Inspired by true events from writer/director Tracie Laymon's life, the story sees Lily and Bob strike up an unlikely yet poignant online friendship — which kicks off in person when Bob, who works in construction, stops by Lily's house to help her fix a faulty toilet.

Bob Trevino Likes It opens in select theaters in Los Angeles and New York City on Friday, March 21, with a wider release on March 28.
