In the heart of Los Angeles, behind a heavy steel door, sits Antony Starr, the actor who embodies the sinister character Homelander on Prime's The Boys. Despite his on-screen persona, Starr faces the pains of reality, like sitting on a generator in Mexico and damaging his tailbone. Starr, who emphasizes the stark differences between himself and his villainous character, navigates the challenges of portraying a complex character with psychological issues while maintaining distance from the role off-screen. Beyond Starr's personal journey, The Boys, based on the comic series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, delves into a world where superheroes are not heroic but instead controlled by a corporation pushing a political agenda. The show, with its raw political commentary and graphic content, offers a satirical lens through which to view modern America, exploring themes of power, grief, and betrayal in a blood-soaked spectacle that questions traditional notions of heroism and villainy.
