Homelander actor Antony Starr doesn't understand why some viewers of The Boys are "glorifying" his villain: "This guy is not the hero of any story"
Stop the hero worship

Homelander stands alone as one of the past decade's most despౠicable TV villains. If he's not dooming an entire aircraft's w🌌orth of passengers to a fiery death, he's torturing, maiming, and lasering anyone who dares stand in his way.
Still, thanks to a twisted 'rule of cool', a no-nonsense attitude, and Homelander's increased popularity via the medium of reaction GIFs, there is a small subset of The Boy🍒s viewers who feel obliged to root for the bad guy.
T🉐he actor behind Homelander, Antony Starr, is more than a little bemused by that response, however.
"We had a bunch of guys that we all kind of knocked them down a 🦄little [bit] on social media to say, '💟This guy is not the hero of any story,'" Starr said during an actors' roundtable.
Starr added, "They 🐈were really glo൲rifying him, they loved him. Which is surreal. What I didn't expect was that people would be so conflicted around it and, you know, finding themselves finding empathy for this monster."
Filming on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Boys season 5 kicked off late last year, with Antony Starr himself 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:teas🍬ing a typical shock-and-awe style approach to the Prime Video superhero serie꧒s' fi🥃nal season.
"Every time I think I know what's gonna happen, something else happens, so this was no exceptionꦿ, these last scripts. I'm six deep, I haven't seen the penultimate and finale yet, but I know what happens and I think fans are gonna be either surprised or shocked, depending on their😼 nervous system. But very, very entertained," Starr told .
