Homelander should be given Emmy for acting so good as a nice guy for 8 straight minutes

[stepanserdyuk]

"I don't fly, I don't laser people, I'm legally required to say this..."

[noealva]

I’m blown away at the contrast between Starr and his character, wow what an incredible actor.

[abdulsamirana]

Its hard not to imagine him lasering the audience any given second

[disturbed_puppy]

The face Antony did when the milk squirted in his face had me laughing so hard.

[jemborg]

Antony Starr was in a New Zealand series called "Outrageous Fortune" where he played twins, one evil one good... utterly convincing. Brilliant.

[Dmusky]

To people who haven’t seen this show… This actor, Antony Starr, puts on a MASTERCLASS of a performance. Every second he is on screen, I’m holding my breath, waiting for the craziness to happen. The Boys isn’t for everyone…but if you want to see acting at it’s finest, look no further than Antony Starr as Homelander and Karl Urban as Billy Butcher 💯

[twillabme]

It’s kind of a relief that he looks and sounds so little like Homelander in real life.

[marcoescuandolas]

He's such a great actor. He really makes the whole show work.

[dmdcykey]

This dude is a legit chameleon, the range of his roles and his ability to physically transform...HIS FACE, somehow, is amazing.

[monicosantana]

This literally just feels like a vought interview to fix Homelanders image lol this man is such a dope actor it’s wild.

[bluecollarmenproductions]

Homelander doing an audition out of spite is very Homelander

[msh]

No matter how many times Antony tries to be normal, I can’t take him serious, that’s how he so good playing the role

[THE_CDN]

He's a lot more campy than I thought he'd be, but also sincere at the same time.

[nobodynobody]

His eyes and facial expressions are riveting with uncertainty in each scene. Not many actors can carry that focus and tension at such
a masterful level. Wow, this guy can act.

[stephenochosiete]

He owns every scene. Even when his character is insecure, you’re thinking he could blow up at any moment. He is terrifying to watch.

[goodfella]

He's this era's Bryan Cranston's Walter White. His character has become part of pop culture because of how well Anthony Starr portrays Homelander

[TYoung]

Bruh im so relieved he's nice in real life😂😂

[STOICedie]

Hes so Zesty irl😂😂😂 so much so that homelander will lazer him if they meet

[kubasliwa]

Bro, imagine being young Antony and having a crush on a young Elisabeth Shue, and then decades later you get to meet her on the set, work with her and share a wholesome moment, but on the other hand, also shoot THOSE scenes with her...
