He's just really good at playing a certain character. I'm not saying he isn't great at it. He's fantastic. But that's not what makes an outstanding actor. ^^
If he was a fledling actor, I would explain it that he can't do a genuine smile if he's not happy. But the man is a professional with tons of experience, he is just that good of an actor.
A great villain, that either strikes a great fear and/or tragic yet understandable backstory, really can take a production to the next level. I love how Homelander became an icon that is up there with Darth Vader, Lord Voldemort, and Thanos
Very much agree with the spirit of what you said. Would just point out that the Homelander character is more classically a sociopath rather than a psychopath. The difference being is that sociopaths are said/thought to be molded that way via childhood trauma, abuse, and the like, whereas psychopaths are just born that way (for whatever reason). It seems that Homelander had a pretty messed up, unloving, and un-nurturing childhood, which argues for more of a sociopathic bent than psychopathic. There is a continuing debate about how much ASPD is or isn't hereditary (there are arguments/cases for and against), but if it was hereditary, it would seem that Ryan isn't particularly and naturally ASPD himself, though Homelander is trying his best to mold him into such a pattern (and is starting to have some success over time). P.S. side, interesting fact, in one of Dr. Hare's books, he mentions a case of identical girl twins with a loving, well adjusted family/household. What's interesting is that one girl was clearly quite ASPD and the other girl was clearly quite not ASPD. Considering they literally have identical gene expression, and same family conditions, it argues against both nature and nurture interestingly. (But extra side note, head injuries/traumas are known to sometimes induce a sociopathic personality change, interestingly enough. I suppose it's possible that the ASPD girl had had such a head injury earlier on, but that was not known/documented, and its also possible that she was just somehow born "evil", as if there is something to the concept of a Soul and pre-existence of same).
Yes, that's why they call it acting. But yeah, I know that a good percentage of actors out there just kind of play themselves almost. You see these folks and its like, oh yeah, of course they play this and that character. But the good-whether skilled and/or talented-ones can transform to and/or almost channel like another personality type very different from their own.
i feel like Antony is the new Jack Gleason. His character is played so well he is so easy to hate. Remember King Joffery? Did your eye twitch a little? Yeah, that's called tier 1 acting. Hats off to this man. One of my favorite villians in cinema ever. he's awesome.
Its not just the glasses. What makes him visually stand out from the character is his darker hair, his dark beard AND the colored glasses. In earlier promo tours when he was shaved, had the blonde hair and wore no glasses, you saw him looking exactly like the character
It's almost like he is deliberately trying to distinguish himself from the character a bit. You definitely don't want to get socially type casted as a character like that.
@@thejigochigo5316 Some people say that he is like Homelander in real life, but the only thing I could find was one drunken bar fight and unsubstantiated rumors that he bullied/harassed Dominque McElligot. I don't think a one time drunk bar fight necessarily puts him on par with a sociopath though. People do things drunk that they wouldn't do sober. It's why we have laws of consent around drunkeness etc. He does have an interesting astro chart though, with Venus Rising and his ruling chart ruler in Libra (I actually think it is early Virgo Rising and not late Leo--definitely cusping Leo though). But then Scorpio Sun conjunct Scorpio Uranus square Leo Saturn, and the chart ruler conjunct Pluto. Suggests that he tends to be a mostly sweet, friendly, affable, socially oriented guy (Venusian primarily with also strong Libra), but one with a bit of a dark side and a capacity for or tendency to extremism (the Scorpio, Uranus, and stressed Saturn square combo). Don't think he is anywhere close to ASPD, but he might be a bit NPD.
The way Antony completely transfoms his appearance, voice, & personality to play Homelander… it was perfect, everything down to the last, minuet details 🤏🙂
Antony with a beard and dark hair is HOT!!! OMG he’s so f**king handsome. His natural way of speaking with his Kiwi accent is also adorable, and he’s SOOOO charming and funny. Sigh. 😍🥰😘😛

Homelander is the real hero.
"Antony Starr?"
**removes his glasses**
"Homelander the Antony Starr?!"
Dobedobedobah..Dobedobedobah.. Dobedobedobah..Dobedobedobah.. Homelaanderr...
Phineas and ferb reference? Nice
ITS HOMELANDERRRRE
HOMELANDER THE ANTHONY STARRRRR
"A platypus"
Puts on hat*
"Perry the platypus"
Antony*
Easily one of the best actors working right now.
💯🔥
Banshee is a really good show that he stars in if you haven't seen it.
Absolutely
He's just really good at playing a certain character. I'm not saying he isn't great at it. He's fantastic. But that's not what makes an outstanding actor. ^^
I can't argue with that statement.
I'm the homelander and i can do whatever the f*ck i want.
👀🔥
@@JonatanBlombergInterviews hi bro
No no, no god.. The only man in the sky is me.
Except see
I wish he had said that when he took them off. He plays it so good that it gives people anxiety I swear
Anthony Starr with the beard and glasses looks like he teaches grad level organic chemistry.
Or, if he went bald,he would be the one to cook
Who might just stumble across an old student of his and get interested into cooking drugs.
It's time to cook Karl
The resemblance to WW is uncanny
He may look like a chemistry teacher but can he even cook.
He is RDJ of Amazon prime 💀😂😂😂
🎯💯
you copied this from a comment on that one "does the crew know each other?" video
Who cares. People reboot movies every year and we gotta deal with it, you can handle reading the same comment twice bud.@@orang1921
@@orang1921 are you the comment police? Who cares bru
@@AgroFro I do
"Are they prescripted"
Deep asking Deep type questions 😂😂😂
🤣
LOL!
well, postscripted glasses are kind of an afterthought.....
Omg😂
😂😂😂
It’s not that he smiles it’s what he is evoking when he does the Homelander character. He smiles like a person who lost his mind a long time ago.
Especially the scene where he is on the elevator this past episode. He has an utter insane smile of glee and release.
Also, real smile only shows top teeth. Homelander smile shows ALL his teeth
@@5Demona5Nah, depends on your mouth shape/jaw size, tooth length, gum depth, etc.
@@5Demona5that's a good point, Anthony Starr in this video only shows the top teeth, giving him a more sane vibe
If he was a fledling actor, I would explain it that he can't do a genuine smile if he's not happy. But the man is a professional with tons of experience, he is just that good of an actor.
Antony Starr is my sunshine
Have you seen Banshee too? He was great in that show as well!
@@JonatanBlombergInterviews Banshee is my favorite show, I really don't know why it is so underrated Lucas Hood is a homelander who has no power
@@mssh3910 right!? Some of the scenes in that show were truly amazing, I still remember one specific in the tall grass!
Check out his original stuff in a new zealand show called Outrageous Fortune. He plays complete opposite twins. Great kiwi show
Nice pic
I got terrified when he removed his glasses
💯🎯
I started running
Me too. Got a tense feeling in my chest.
Removes glasses*
Everyone else: fucking run
Smh such a kid
Very nice of Homelander to play the role of this guy Antony Starr
😅
Other way around
@@DeadPiixxelno shit, it’s a joke
I feel like Homelander loves milk but Antony is lactose intolerant 😂
Noo He also loves milk Mostly Ryan Actor milk ❤
With the glasses on and smile, he looks more like Jurgen Klopp...
A dreamcasting
🤣
@@JonatanBlombergInterviews
It's just a personal fantasy casting if someone were to make a Jurgen Klopp biopic 😅
He’d have to complain a lot more
Looks like Bono to me
jurgen klopp too has a massive smile, but it looks like he has a million teeth
His eyes always goes away for a sec when he smiles 😂😂
A great villain, that either strikes a great fear and/or tragic yet understandable backstory, really can take a production to the next level. I love how Homelander became an icon that is up there with Darth Vader, Lord Voldemort, and Thanos
I wonder who would win in a rumble royal type match between these...?
Ok, I don't really wonder, but am just talking out of me arse for a moment.
It’s amazing how humble and quiet he is but he can so easily be the best villain ever. A rare sight
I love how he constantly says he does not want to be known as someone who is similar to homelander😂
I love his little fangs 😭
He is by far the best reason to watch the Boys. He’s a polar opposite of Homelander but is so dang believable on screen
The more interviews I see, the more I like Antony! Great actor and great guy!
The “delightfully demented” look comes through EASILY. 😂😱😂❤
It's so weird.. deep talk with homelander without fear
Not real
Blow A-train 😂
Even back much earlier on without the beard just the hair and glasses it really took time to realize that was homelander actor 😆
🤣
I did notice a difference
Genuine smile only shows top teeth, naturally
Homelander smile shows ALL teeth
the glasses are needed after lasering so much for 4 seasons
Anthony Starr is an absolute revelation as Homelander
I love Homelander, the fact that the actor himself is completely different and a teddy bear makes me love him as an actor and person even more
Hahaha! Look up the time he got arrested at a restaurant for smashing a glass into a guy's face after saying "Do you know who who I am?!"
@A-man-ix4kz arrested at a restaraunt? Does that restaraunt have a jail inside??
How quickly people forget about the waiter he assaulted.
@@blackice8043 nah he was just acting, waiter definitely didnt get hurt or anything
Source: trust me bro
They nailed it when casting him. It’s been an absolute joy watching him play that role.
Loved Antony as Lucus Hood in Banshee.
Me too! That show was such a gem! He was fantastic in that role 😅
He kinda gives me Jason Bateman vibes here
Lol
Or Patrick Bateman
His transformation into Homelander from his normal daily Anthony is miraculous. He plays such a great baddie!
Greatest casting.....ever
He looks like brian cranston
exactly that what i am thinking 😂
Such a sweet guy playing such a psychopath.
🎯💯😅

The greatest baddie ever,fantastic acting
I wish I could watch it. It's become too violent for me to enjoy. Amazing acting.
Deep never leaves his role.lol
Such an incredible actor.
Great justice done by Antony Starr to bring Homelander to life.
Amazing how if I saw him on the street would never think this guy plays homelander lol

Dude is menacing when in character.
Woah this this is an excellent portrayal of Anthony by Homelander.
Its really funny to see him in real life vs homelander mode,thats a real superman transformation😂
is it just me hearing the homelander violin theme the whole interview LOL
I love that he is very mature outside his role when not acting
Fuck man I respect his acting so much. Legend
looking forward to The Boys finishing after season 5, but will miss them all and especially Anthony's presence
Holy shit it's Dr. Freeman
Homelander is really good at playing Anthony Starr
its certainly more than the glasses, but man does that really work LOL
Watched banshee because of his homelander. Oh wow! He’s absolutely amazing and badass there too
come on, he's born to play him...his smile is iconic
That Homelander all right! All with the toothy creepy grin! 😅
The beard in the glass is definitely take away the whole Golden Boy homelander look
I absolutely Adore Antony Starr
Bro, Deep is always with Him.
The Broest of all Bros
Chase thought maybe the glasses were a cosmetic accessory..I love Chase😆
The deep “there prescription?”
Such a deep thing deep would say
Deep is still in character 😂 there..
They glasses do make you a different person my friend love you Anthony
Wearing glasses: Antony Starr and his kiwi accent
Without glasses: Homelander and his American accent
Great actor
I cant believe how terrified i am, watching him smile😢
Those glasses work so well on him
WOW! Without the glasses he looks like Homelander 100%
He doesn't look like Homelander he looks like Homelander's younger brother.
He's too cool. I don't believe there is anyone who couldn't chill with this dude.
He reminds me a bit of bryan cranston when he uses his glasses lol
Idk if it's intentional but that slow zoom makes it feel like he's gonna laser me any second
his smile is sooo cute
Its not just the glasses.
What makes him visually stand out from the character is his darker hair, his dark beard AND the colored glasses.
In earlier promo tours when he was shaved, had the blonde hair and wore no glasses, you saw him looking exactly like the character
It's almost like he is deliberately trying to distinguish himself from the character a bit.
You definitely don't want to get socially type casted as a character like that.
@@justinw1765 im thinkin the same thing

Doing New Zealand proud 🙏🏼
actors will always find something to gripe abt after agreeing to do interviews
This dude is one of the best actors I have ever seen.
Nah his laugh he just wanna laser you
Crushing on Homelander right now 😮
He’s 🔥🔥🔥
👁👅👁
Antony with a beard and dark hair is HOT!!! OMG he’s so f**king handsome. His natural way of speaking with his Kiwi accent is also adorable, and he’s SOOOO charming and funny. Sigh. 😍🥰😘😛
Bro is straight a younger Walt from Breaking Bad
Imagine Anthony Starr getting casted to play super man 😂
The glasses have nothing to do with it. He himself is giving Homeland character.
Great to have you back ❤️❤️
Homelander 4ever
Try watching this clip with no audio....chilling
What a actor !!!!
"I cant see without these so...that was an interesting exercise" hahaha he was so annoyed by you.
The deep looking bored 😂
He took of the glasses and smiled, and in an instantly I saw Homelander and I got the heebie-jeebies
“Love it” Deep can’t stop sucking up to Homelander even when off set
I shat my pants when removed his glasses
Only Man In The Sky!
“Are they prescription?” Lol
So when he's acting as homelander he's blind like a bat 💀
Contact lenses
The RDJ of The Boys universe.
As a -7 in my left eye and a -6 in my right, with an astigmatism…. Rock those glasses!
🤓💪🏻
He’s Bono from U2 until the glasses come off
Antony can be a great Gordon Freeman from Half-Life with that look
Me waiting for homelander to come out n laser him😂
That's why homelander is so chillant. He can't even see the horror he is unleashing on the world
As the camera was zooming in I was getting anxiety 😂😂😂 so he doesn’t look that different
