Antony Starr, the star of The Boys, is perfect in his role as Homelander

Antony Starr, the actor who perfectly embodies the ruthless Homelander in The Boys is one of the great assets of Eric Kripke’s series. Inhabited in his role, the leader of the Super enjoys rave reviews from the public and the press.

His performance sparked many rumors sending him to other superhero franchises (we can imagine which ones) for the future. The Boys (we remind you that The fifth season, scheduled for around 2026, will be the last). Speculations quickly dismissed by the New Zealand actor, arguing that his age (nearly fifty) no longer allowed him to play this type of role.

We will therefore have to take advantage of this end of season 4 of The Boys and the next one to see Antony Starr in his Superman caricature. More recently, the 48-year-old actor confessed during an interview for Leisure TV have difficulty concentrating on film sets. The problem: endless fits of laughter.

I have a real problem if I start laughing. It’s over for me after that, I can’t stop. I remember having fits of laughter with Nathan Mitchell, who plays Black Noir. With him, I couldn’t control myself. I have to be very careful, I can’t make eye contact with someone who’s laughing because if I do, I’m done for.”

These moments of joy even earned him the right to to leave the plateau for several hours so as not to disrupt the filming and the serious atmosphere that reigns there.

When we were filming in New Zealand (for season 4), I was taken out of some scenes because I couldn’t stop laughing. A director literally took me by the shoulders and led me off set for six hours. Then they brought me back at the end of the day so they could film me alone. I don’t want that to happen again. It’s very embarrassing.”

Antony Starr seems to be a very cheerful actor, and even very fond of humor. Proof of this is with his reaction to this meme campaign comparing him to footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, the former Real Madrid star.
