Eric Kripke’s ‘The Boys’ has some seriously weird stuff going on in the series. From Homelander’s obsession with milk to The Deep’s sexual relationship with an octopus- you name it. Actor Chace Crawford, who plays The Deep has come a long way from romancing Blake Lively in ‘Gossip Girl‘ to romancing an octopus in ‘The Boys’.
How does he feel about locking lips with the marine creature? Crawford talks to Rolling Stone about filming the intimate scenes. He even admitted that he might not have joined the cast so quickly. If he knew about his character’s weird romantic choices earlier, second thoughts might have come to him.
Chace Crawford Talks About Filming A Romantic Scene With An Octopus
Eric Kripke’s imagination runs very wild. He has left no step unturned when adding weird romances in his Amazon Prime show ‘The Boys‘. The romantic relationship between superhero The Deep and octopus Ambrosius is definitely one of them.
The relationship first made it on-screen in the infamous season 3 episode ‘Herogasm’ of the show. Chace Crawford, who plays The Deep, told Rolling Stone that he was “in total denial” when shooting a sex scene with the sea creature. “It’s so funny and brilliant now, but when that came up, I was like, ‘Oh God, how’s this going to work?’” Crawford said.
Chace Crawford continued, “And then it got 24 hours out from the first day I had to shoot it and I almost had a panic attack”. He explained, “I called Kripke — he’s so great. He’s got a million things going on but his door’s always open. So I was worried about the scene.” Crawford had many questions for Kripke. “I’m like, ‘How are we gonna do this? What are the angles gonna be? How naked do I have to be?’ He changed one shot for me. And it was great,” Crawford added.

Chace Crawford Was Happy Fans Liked The Scene
Like any other actor, Chace Crawford was also worried about how the viewers would receive the scene. He recalled not having an intimacy coordinator for the octopus scene. However, he explained how having a closed set while filming it.
“But they treated it like, ‘quiet everyone, clear out’ — a closed set,” Crawford said. “But yeah, just the act of picking up the octopus and getting a wet octopus in the bed was so funny and weird,” Crawford continued. “And then it doesn’t come out for a year almost, and you’re like, ‘How is this going to be received?’,
The ‘Gossip Girl’ star was relieved that everyone liked the scene. “But everyone loved it. I saw someone at the gym the other day and he was like, ‘I’m actually going to show you this’”, Crawford recalled. He added, “And it was him in a Deep costume with a pink octopus wrapped around him at Comic-Con or something. Everyone loved it, man. I get ragged on a little bit, but it’s good.”
