‘The Boys’ Creator Eric Kripke Reveals How Tilda Swinton Season 4 Cameo Happened


Fans of The Boys might recognize a very familiar voice on the latest season.

“For Tilda, we didn’t know her — it was just that once we realized that Ambrosius was going to be a character this year, we in the writers’ room all said, ‘We need the classiest, Oscar-winningest, British actress we can get our hands on,'” he told Variety. “When they said that Tilda Swinton was doing it, I just started crying laughing because she must have a great sense of humor to want to come and play with us in this insane scene and give life to Ambrosius, finally,” he recalled. Ambrosius previously appeared on the infamous season 3 episode ‘Herogasm’, which saw Crawford’s The Deep meeting and hooking up with the aquatic creature at a huge annual orgy for Supes before breaking her out of her aquarium prison.
