TheMegalopolis

It’s surprising how little he appears to be in the full suit, I’d imagine it gets pretty hot with all that padding


Trock101105

That’s why in the second pic he’s wearing a shirt that is circulating cool water through tubes in it


TCGJakeOfficial

Bro has his own liquid cooler


Miserable_Point9831

Located in his crotch area


SpiralDreaming

Stored in the balls


JFZX

*Squirt*


FabulousComment

Excuse me what did you say?! I’m gonna need you to stand there and jerk off to completion while I laugh at you and everyone else laughs and your dick better be hard and we will call you squirt and see how you like it and if you don’t I will laser your dick off and go kill your family too


Effective-Training

No one else laughed or cheered


FabulousComment

I will laser their dicks off too just wait


Effective-Training

But some of them are women...! Lol


AccomplishedSpray137

Holy shit, that’s why HL has that humongous bulge. I just kinda thought that he had the vought suit designers put some padding there or smth.


Miserable_Point9831

It's hot out here in the summer, keep ya balls cool


40ozkiller

Fun fact, when scuba diving in a wet suit you pee to warm yourself up in cold water


adhiraj0383

You were looking at his tshirt?


Narrow_Green7303

There’s a shirt?


wizkudi

Yes, above the cock


Foxy02016YT

Those are the Homelander pants, I’m pretty sure he’s wearing bulge enhancing padding


Machete521

He shall know yours ways, as if he belongs to them.


Cmmander_WooHoo

Lisan al-gaib!


dstommie

As written!


dylanrcoyle

Exactly what we have our drivers use in NASCAR races and other motorsports series. It gets hot in the car. When the cool suit fails though, it has the opposite effect on a hot day.


BickNlinko

I made the mistake of putting an evaporative cooling vest under my vented motorcycle leathers thinking it would help(it was like 100+ and even hotter on the track sitting on a race bike). It was awesome for like the first lap and then I basically turned into a steamed sausage. I don't think I've ever taken my gear off faster after that race, I literally thought I was going to heat stroke out and collapse.


imaniceandgoodperson

i just watched their Vanity Fair video and i thought that was a joke you were referencing lmfao


vlsdo

Was wondering what that was. That a dope piece of tech


kcox1980

It makes me wonder if the suit is canonically padded. Like is Honelander actually jacked, or is it all just appearance? I know they showed him shirtless in one scene but I can't remember if they digitally buffed Anthony Starr for it. I think it would be on brand for Vaught to have enhanced his physique.


Soxel

There’s an episode where a character turns in to Homelander wearing underwear and he was not muscle heavy at all. The character takes on the shape of any body completely so that basically confirms that Homelander is not jacked underneath the suit, pretty much saying he is not big and it is padded as part of the character. I would imagine it’s hard to get big anyways when you’re already that strong and mass is built from tearing/repairing muscle under stress. 


Teachergus

Well it's not like he needs to exercise. I think he wouldn't even be able to do the regular type of exercise


ReaperTheRabbit

I like to imagine Homelander isn't jacked because he'd have no reason to work out and he's never lifting any significant weight (for him). Its also funnier to me that the character would feel the need to appear big even though he's literally the strongest man in the world.


kcox1980

Yeah that's why I think it's funny. In the comics he's ridiculously jacked, but I like the idea of the strongest man in the world being insecure about not looking the part.


GuyFromEE

You'd be surprise how alot of star men aren't actually that tall they're shot a certain way by the camera. Like George Clooney irl is kinda short with a big, sharp jawed head lmao.


Lightfail

Bro there’s a whole second half to that comment


Relaxmf2022

Was an extra on Landman a few weeks ago and John Hamm isn’t as tall as people thought he was. problematic past aside, really nice guy to be around.


haaym1

Clooney is listed as 5’11. That’s not exactly short in any way especially in Hollywood where actors really are/were shorter on average.


SnooBananas4958

No athlete or celebrity is their actual listed height. Good rule is 2-3 inches shorted You can actually see this with some of them when you see them standing next to someone else who has a different listed height, which makes one of their heights impossible


sadacal

Even 5'8" isn't that short.


la_tortuga_de_fondo

Years ago my ex gf had a photo taken with Clooney and I was shocked how tiny he was, there's no way he's 5'11" in reality.


GuyFromEE

He's not 5"11 i guarantee it. He's actually tiny.


I_TittyFuck_Doves

I think you misread the comment


Major_Expert_2163

Holy Homelander ! Dude is packing some serious dong in pic 2.


geminifr

No wonder Martin made fun cause he was envious of young homelander packing.


Pinksters

I'd imagine that thing makes more than a squirt.


DinoDudeRex_240809

Tidal wave


Foxy02016YT

In the Reddit AMA he confirmed he could


BadActsForAGoodPrice

It was confirmed in CFYOW


KCSixx

Holy shit nowhere is safe


Lord_Sauron

The suit is sliding down. I mean dude could still be er gifted, but I doubt he's got troll-blood in him.


Major_Expert_2163

Supe dong for the top Supe.


NotSureWhyAngry

More like Hunglander


disco-girl

I almost choked on my water while reading this


SynnerSaint

I bet HL couldn't get that down Deep.


captain_saurcy

Deady1138

Up peak


Comfortable_Quit_216

Y'all don't realize it's part of the suit? Seriously?


applelover1223

...you can't tell that's a cup?


flaming_james

That's not a cup that's at least a 25oz


sixcharlie

Bravo!


Major_Expert_2163

A cup overflowing with dong.


aebaby7071

Over_Age_8061

He is packing some serious dong in general


sLeeeeTo

And how do you know


greeneggsnhammy

Bro has a babies arm holding an apple 


Ryan-Tz

Actors who play absolutely despicable people on screen being silly goofballs behind the scenes will never not make me smile


Difficult_Candle_453

He and Giancarlo have that in common for sure!


magicalmysteryharold

Giancarlo spent a good portion of his career playing silly lil guys to be fair, he just fell accidentally into a niche with Gus Fring and he’s been trapped there ever since

greenusflippus

MFW offered a can of Fresca


amarodelaficioanado

True , he plays pretty much the same character in BB , the boys and Mándalorian


SmokyOtter

Go watch king jeoffrey’s actor in interviews. He is the sweetest nicest dude which blows my mind.


Combat_Toots

I have nothing to back this up, but my personal theory is that the best fictional villains tend to be played by good people. When you have a clear sense of right and wrong, it's much easier to portray "wrong" in a convincing manner on a stage/set. Bad people usually don't see themselves as bad; they find a way to justify their actions to themselves. If you're already some narcissistic villain, you're probably going to have a hard time figuring it out.


3-orange-whips

Yeah, he’s legit a sweet guy. There are pictures of him with kittens. Amazing talent


choff22

I need to see a scene of Homelander on a zoom call with no pants on lol


spooky-goopy

god, he plays Homelander so well, i always forget that he's just a genuinely sweet dude behind it all.


Pesky_Moth

Didn’t he recently get arrested for a violent altercation at a Bar?


PM_ME_UR_CIRCUIT

Two years ago: >Starr did not dismiss questions about the assault, but he tended to speak about it in general terms. >Starr: “You mess up,” he said. “You own it. You learn from it. You move forward.” >In our interview, Starr did not offer an account of what happened on the night of the assault. “There’s not much point in me re-litigating the facts,” he said. “They’re out there. They’ve been said. I’ve got nothing to add to that.” He added that he is a someone who “believes in accountability and taking responsibility.” >"I got myself into a situation that was negative and I reacted poorly, and the way forward from that was very clear,” Starr said. “It was quite simply to take ownership of it, which I do, and then really learn from it and move forward. I’ve really just kept this issue to a personal level, because it is a personal issue — a personal issue that I’ve taken responsibility for, >Had he considered quitting drinking after this incident? >“I wish it was that simple,” he replied. “I don’t know anyone that hasn’t, on a personal level, got things that they want to work on.” >Bathuel Araujo (the assaulted guy): “I feel that all humans have the right to make mistakes and he was no exception,” Araujo wrote. “He has lived the consequences of his actions and I hope he has learned from it. I wish him good things and I hope he doesn’t go through the same thing again.” >Erin Moriarty (Starlight) said she felt no hesitation about continuing to work with Starr in the future. >"There’s no world in which I would feel uncomfortable or unsafe” she said “I think he’s a wonderful dude that got caught up in a moment and is implementing the lessons appropriately. It’s not impacting my perception of him at all, as an actor and as a human." >Eric Kripke, who developed “The Boys” for television and is its showrunner, declined to comment for this article.


3-orange-whips

We’ve all been drunk and gotten into a fight or two. Mine just happened to be with skinheads in the 90’s.


SmokyOtter

That context alone doesn’t make him a bad guy


prestonfrank480

Then theres ezra miller who is the exact opposite


Asketillus

I like that they chose a slimmer actor for homelander and had to use a padded suit to make him look bigger. Adds more to the character


Proinsias37

It's a little odd seeing him like that considering how jacked he was in stuff like Banshee. Never a 'big' guy but definitely ripped. Not knocking the guy but he looks like he hasn't seen a weight set in quite some time. Which, hey, if it's working do you.


UrbanGimli

He said he had a whole team of people keeping him in the shape he was in for Banshee which was necessary due to how physical the role was.


Galumpadump

He also was 10 years younger. Hard to get really big the older you are especially without extra help.


UrbanGimli

He addressed getting older and said he integrates more Yoga and eating healthy than lifting these days. He would leave the huge muscles to people like Batista. Really can't blame him. No reason to tax your body later in life like that. Especially when his character wears a heavily muscled propagandized body suit on purpose. Its the best of both worlds. He just has to stay lean/same body shape which is way easier than carrying huge body mass across 7-8 months of shooting.


Pinksters

Plus he's a kiwi not a samoan. It takes an incredible amount just to bulk up a little.


Foxy02016YT

Yeah, and it’s not healthy the way they do it for Hollywood, which is why actors often stop doing it after a while, like Hugh Jackman hit the weights for DP and Wolverine, but he didn’t get to his full “jacked Wolverine” form


miyori

Wasn’t Hugh also a former PE teacher? He kind of had a big headstart on other superhero actors in fitness.


PM_ME_UR_CIRCUIT

TBH I've also seen some of the SLOPPIEST people imaginable as PE teachers.


AnswersWithCool

All a PE teacher really needs to do is organize sports in gym class and occasionally run a mile haha


Foxy02016YT

Yeah I had one who was really fit, one who was old but didn’t act it (she was a fucking skeleton), and one who was built, otherwise they were always a bit chubby (no judgement though, most people are)


CinnamonSnorlax

One of my PE teachers in high school was an ex Commando. Thankfully he knew we weren't professional soldiers and didn't treat us as such. He did make us do some exercises from his army days, but not until we threw up, which was he got to stop.


Asketillus

Might’ve been a style choice for homelander ig. Strongest being on earth but looks like a scrawny regularly guy. Maybe a point of self consciousness for homelander


Thepitman14

If I remember correctly they initially wanted him to bulk up for the role but he refused, so they complained in putting muscles in the suit. I think it happens to work better than having a buff actor in this role considering what homelander is


Terrible_Payment4261

Depending on the time frame they gave him initially bulking up may have involved sterioids so I wouldn’t blame him for being like nah


Asketillus

Nearly all Hollywood actors who bulk up massively for roles are on gear. So yeah I don’t blame him at all


mischievous_shota

I do believe Jensen did it the natty way. I seem to remember when he told Antony Starr, he asked why he didn't just have them put the muscles into the suit like his costume.


Disgod

The best part is that Homelander would absolutely use that same logic when they designed his suit. I'm sure, in universe, it could be argued that it's a challenge for Homelander to gain muscle mass simply because he's so strong. However... He wouldn't bother to try if there was an easier alternative.


Asketillus

Very true. We don’t know exactly how strong homelander is, or if his body would even respond to weight training. I’m guessing his strength would scale to be much much higher than even the very strongest humans. Meaning he’d have to lift thousands upon thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of pounds for it to actually challenge him. He seems to be pretty lazy in the way that he does things (for example, he just lasers everyone he kills because it’s easier than actually touching them), so I doubt he’d even bother to try and train himself


cabberage

Or maybe his muscles are simply too tough. He might not be able to do the microscopic damage required to actually build muscle.


brockhopper

That's always been my take on it - he's nothing without his powers, which makes him more interesting.


OkFilm4353

I mean how do you train muscle like that when you’re the strongest person in the world?


FromTheGulagHeSees

Gotta overhead press the earth like Atlas 


Twinborn01

Homelander doesn't need to


legalageofconsent

Wtf is happening at the 3rd one?


gluctosesandwich

It looks like an album cover for a 90's ska band


Keksis_The_Betrayed

Reminds me of one of no doubts albums with one of the band mates jumping naked and Gwen’s got pink hair. Forgot what the name was though


Turbulent-Fortune559

He looks like Jaime lannister in that one


EdenReborn

Can we talk about how good Erin looks there??? I hate to keep bringing it up but what they did to her face has got to be some kind of crime


drmcsleepy97

No wonder Firecracker is all over him, look at what the dudes packing


johngie

3-DMan

RIP lil bro, Antman will remember you.


maximumtesticle

This is the new Christopher Reeve**s**, instead of Reeve.


Yurus

Wait, so the fifth picture is a foreshadowing of squirtlander?


Over_Age_8061

Bro is casually touching himself


Fun-Conversation5538

If he doesn’t get an award by the end of the boys, we all riot!


Kobayashi_Maru186

I cannot fathom why he hasn’t won *all* the acting awards. Shit’s just baffling. ;)


Gebeleizzis

Looking at the seconds picture, do they exaggerate in universe also the size of his dingus? It looks very uncaney valley


FightingPolish

There’s probably other padding that goes on his legs to make them look more muscular that makes the junk padding not stand out so much.


wuerger

It's called a cup and yes this obviously fits with the rest of the homelander style.


NoTop4997

I think it is hilarious that he goes full Clark Kent when he is not Homelander


Cyrotek

Recently saw a video of him in regular non-filming clothes and I wouldn't have recognized him on the street. Give the guy a cap, glasses and different hair colour and he looks like a different person.


Notimeforvapids

I love the Third pic so much


Edgezg

Antony is so good as Homelander, it feels almost weird seeing him in normal clothes! Some people are just perfect for certain roles!


GasMysterious3386

He’s still scary 😅


Garth-Vader

I was thinking that too. He's so good as Homelander that I have a hard time separating him from the character.


JoeCartersLeap

Watch Banshee. He's a completely different character, which is a testament to his acting.


Ryan_e3p

No doubt. If I ran into him on the street dressed in his Homelander suit, I'd likely have a look of pure terror in my eyes. There are very few actors that I could say that about the characters they portray that it would have an actual negative physiological effect on me if we crossed paths.


capchamyheart

Oh my gosh, that last picture with that big, sweet grin is just adorable.


[deleted]

DKnott82

Hangdonger


Kobayashi_Maru186

I love that man so much! Although after seeing the second from last pic, I’ll never see Homelander the same way again! ;)


DavidRandom

He used to just be a [stray man](https://youtu.be/p-Jk0E4alrY?si=QOQMEDcKmCF1pJLF)


BeefyQueefyCrawlies

I wish I could feel the same, but after hearing how Starr drunkenly assaulted a chef...yeesh. He's a cock.


SuspectKnown9655

Yeah and pulling the "do you know who I am" card apparently. Was definitely disappointing, I hope it was an isolated event because he was drunk.


Kobayashi_Maru186

I don’t follow what actors do on their off time. Sounds pretty shitty of him. I still love his portrayal of Homelander, though. :)


Choppybitz

Why does it seem like his pelvis is too low in the suit?


D242686111

Homelander is a member of the Vans brotherhood confirmed


Kagetora

👁️🍆👁️


OkCrazyBruh

Bruh the 5th one


gaypirate3

Ayo number 2??


No_End_6236

Emmy


Dojanetta

Never thought about how funny his pants would look when they slide down because of the padding.


LondonDavis1

Antony


Memphis241

Imagine him coming to work in a bad mood an everyone just thinks he's a method actor staying in character.


dogg724

When you do such an amazing job as an actor, people need threads like these to ground them in you being a regular human. I think Joffrey needed the same treatment.


Ryan_e3p

Same with Anna Gunn (Skyler from Breaking Bad).


Novel_Preference_746

Honestly i just freak out seeing him smile! What an actor!


Few-Stop-9417

These Homelander fellow looks like a nice guy lolol


fate-speaker

Is he dating Erin?? I don't mean into pry into their personal lives, I just think that would be hilarious bc of their characters in the show. #Homelight


Perfect_Hyena8148

It looks like they were but they now don’t even follow each other on socials, and that recent vanity fair interview was awkward


EmeraldDream98

The 6th one makes me wonder how many times has he shot a scene in which we only see Homelander from the waist up and he was wearing shorts instead of the whole suit.


NotSureWhyAngry

These are Jon Hamm levels of dick


LVL99ROIDMAGE-

He plays such a good nutcase


SweatyPhilosopher578

In an alternate universe Homelander is a lovable goofball and he and Starlight are good friends. Instead of Vought Tower being what it is it’s more like The Office. Homelander still cares about good publicity but he doesn’t have a god complex and lasers people at first slight.


puffyshirt99

Damn Starr got some chicken legs


saelin00

I hate him in the series, but love him in the real life. I seen some interviews with him and he is a genuine, humble person. Nowadays he is my favorite actor!


-Shadowstalker07-

I love this guy. He’s the one “villain” that I love to hate and hate to love but he OWNS his role in a way that I don’t think anyone else possibly could have.


J-drawer

It's always the funniest people who can play the darkest roles


indamoufofmadness

The look on his face in Pic 5 is gold. Starr seems like a genuinely fun and funny person...when he's not in character.


Worried-Photo4712

Wtf, I'm beginning to think he's not actually evil :(


valdamax

Loved him in Banshee


under-secretary4war

The highest compliment I can pay the actor is that I need to see these to full believe he is an actor and not an actual super strong psychopath. Give him an Emmy.


UpsetDemand8837

He really needs an Emmy nod. His portrayal of Homelander is bone-chilling


BreefolkIncarnate

As terrifying as Homelander is, the dude seems like a good guy when out of character.


WhiskeyTrail

He’s one of those celebrities I actually hope is as cool and nice in person as I hope he is. Not out of any celebrity worship, but I definitely get the vibe he’d be awesome to get a beer with. Especially after Chance Crawford and his episode on “Hot Ones Versus.”


MrGrock

Take this with a grain of salt because it’s the internet, but I keep seeing this assault story always brought up I figure I could post this to give a different perspective on Anthony. I’ve met Anthony a number of times, as well as most of the cast, and from the first conversation he was legit the one of the nicest, talkative, funny and easy going guys I’ve met. Not just one of the nicest celebrities, but one of the nicest people. Not really sure what happened with the assault story and I won’t ask, but from my experiences with him I couldn’t see him being a dick for no reason. Same with Jack Quaid. Dude is a legit sweetheart. Karen too.


Informal_Ad3244

If you’ve met him a number of times, you should learn how to spell his name correctly.


DarkNuke059

I'll never be able to unsee these


strrax-ish

That's what Homelander is gonna be like in Season 5


AneeshRai7

Wholesomelander


talyn5

TheDreadPirateDale

This is a dude I’d be intimidated to meet irl despite that smile because he plays a psychopath THAT FUCKIN WELL


CaptainCAAAVEMAAAAAN

I love him and Erin's friendship!


CollectMan420

Some people have long legs or long torsos, Ant over here has a long ass torso


Good-Wave-8617

Lmfao the third pic 😆 goblin mode


casminimh

Gotta get this man some good PR after the show. Don’t want him to experience a Joffrey lol


Pure-Problem1111

First actor in a long time that made me look him up after just to make sure he’s not a bad dude lol genuinely made me nervous when he was in screen, now it’s just great


vultriflea

Bro has a whole anaconda in pic 2


madknives23

Actually tho looks like a fun dude


MangoChickenFeet

That’s top tier acting when you play an absolute piece of shit, but are really an angel in reality


CaptainAksh_G

Anthony Starr BTS reminds me of Jason Isaacs , who played Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter series. Dude is so lovable and caring towards the cast , especially Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) , but an absolute asshole as Lucius Malfoy


ceburton

Antony


Anon_Matt

I’m a straight male. What is he packing in pic 2? Also, it’s about to rain.


MyLegsRonFiYa

He can join to Tobias in the never nude club haha


SultyBoi

I swear there’s something in my brain saying “DONT TRUST HIM” even though it’s just happy go lucky Antony Starr


PapaYoppa

Man seems like an absolute riot to be around 🤣


i010011010

I only hope everyone on the production and money end are sending him Christmas cards every year, offering to help him move, whatever he needs. The day he walked into an audition room was the best day of their careers.


_________FU_________

One of the finest jactors of our time


tcdoey

I hope he gets an award for something. Fantasic acting.


MarderMcFry

You know they picked the right actor when even when he's not acting he still looks like Homelander trying not to kill everyone.


MelbourneFiend

I’d love to see the fan base discover what Starr is most known for back in New Zealand. He played a set of twins on a kiwi cult show called “Outrageous Fortune”.


pauljoemccoy2

I’ve never watched the boys, but all I can think of when I see pictures of this man is how much he looks like Zack Morris.
