Antony Starr is an A class actor. You can't be not terrified by the character he is playing

[@askinnakklevaar98]

Ya and his ability to swap to a calm collected Superman type when “on camera” is just great

[@SuperMaaadio]

Yo, the growl when Homelander was scolding A-Train after he said "eff you, man" was so good. I got chills at his anger in that scene. Had me scared for A-Train lol.

[@nastystudios6420]

Same here. After the scene I was like man fuck a train he killed Robin why did I feel bad for him lmao

[@douglasfairbanks1808]

I really didn't think the Butcher/Homelander scene actually happened but the way Antony talks about it makes it seem like he was actually there. Thoughts?

[@raph6931]

The first interaction between Homelander and Butcher was real, you can tell because Homelander interacts with a chair and moves it. Their second interaction when Homelander is on the TV is a hallucination

[@sain1536]

Their first interaction was 100% real.

Antony Starr is fucking intimidating. I look at him into his eyes and see a pair of red glowing eyes ready to burn me down to ashes.

OK, that makes more sense. I was wondering how they got Charlize Theron to go up to Toronto for a cameo if there was a 2 week quarantine period. That's thing about modern shows I have to remember now, kinda like that cameo scene at the end of Peacemaker, that was all stitched in later.

Why does Anthony Star look like wolverine with all that facial hair 🤔

[@jeffn4836]

Jeez, Erin looks so different. Work done on her face?

[@nissan_skyline]

No, her makeup is done differently here than it is on the show. Shaping eyebrows differently by making them thinner or thicker, lighter vs. darker or creating a deeper arch can really change your appearance. Her eyebrows in this interview are thinner and a bit lighter, and she's clearly wearing bronzer or contour powder (contouring is a makeup technique for sculpting and adding dimension to the face by creating the effect of shadow and light). This is why her cheekbones look more pronounced and her face appears slimmer.
