Chace Crawford Went From 'Gossip Girl' to Octopus Sex on 'The Boys' -- and He Loves It

Crawford on playing one of the most absurd TV characters ever, the Deep on 'The Boys' — and the time he was almost Captain America in the MCU

In an interview conducted for our recent in-depth feature on The Boys, Crawford looks back at his time so far as poor-man’s-Aquaman the Deep, from his deranged duet with his own gills to his romantic, uh, entanglements with an octopus named Ambrosous (voiced, amazingly enough, by Tilda Swinton). I’m like, “Tonally, how is that gonna shift?” They spent so much time on that scene, and Erin [Moriarty, who plays Starlight] is obviously a phenomenal actress. I guess it comes from a place, and I think Antony [Starr, who plays the show’s sinister leader Homelander] would agree with this too, where you’re not judging the character.
