The Boys' Antony Starr had to knock down fans glorifying Homelander: 'This guy is not the hero of any story'

'The Boys' star Anthony Starr is still surprised by fans glorifying Homelander's sadistic tendencies: 'This guy is not the hero of any story.'

Antony Starr plays one of TV's most unapologetically, sinister villains on The Boys', a man so narcissistic that he got his sexual kinks from a shapeshifter posing as himself, before killing them in a fit of self empowerment. The super-powered villain has even been compared to Donald Trump, which the Prime Video satirical drama played up during season 4 with overt MAGA-inspired imagery and a Jan. 6-level coup, during which Homelander took over America. The actor remembers how the silence seemingly lasted the entire day of filming, making him nervous that his acting choice hadn't carried Homelander's mental anguish the way he intended.
