Antony Starr put up a stellar performance in ‘The Boys’ as Homelander and fans have been praising the actor for his role as the show’s villain. Starr, who has been going viral- thanks to the show’s success is also a wonderful person in real life, even if fans assume otherwise.

Antony Starr Doesn’t Like Being Compared To Homelander
Following the premiere of season four of The Boys, Antony Starr had a chat with Rolling Stone about his experience working on the show. Starr’s phenomenal skills on screen are reflected on the audience’s feelings towards Homelander and how they have truly started associating him with the character.
In the interview, Starr stated that while this is a great testament to his acting capacity, it does take a toll on him when he is compared to a character as villainous. “People are surprised, like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re actually not like him,’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, he’s a psychopathic narcissist. So yeah, thanks. Thank you for that.’” he said.
He also revealed that staff members and occasionally even the cast avoid him when he is in costume on set. They are reluctant to speak to him and are always terrified to be in his presence.
