In a surprising turn of events, Homelander from "The Boys" shows a completely different side in this behind-the-scenes video. The clip, which has been making rounds on social media, reveals the usually fearless superhero unnerved by heights.

Anthony Starr, the brilliant actor behind Homelander, is known for his terrifying portrayal of the character. Fans have commented, "Dude is absolutely terrifying in that role. He kills it." However, this video sheds light on a more human side of Starr. As the height increases, his discomfort is palpable, leading to a series of humorous exclamations that have delighted fans.

One viewer remarked, "He has some great bloopers. What else can you do when you're playing a scene where your character is licking b***** milk out of a jar but laugh?" Another added, "Honestly Starr is an amazing actor, right alongside Jack Gleeson."

It's not just his acting prowess that shines through; Starr's natural accent becomes more pronounced as his fear escalates. "I like how the scaredier he gets from the height his normal accent comes in," noted a fan. Another observed, "I especially love how as he rises he reverts deeper and deeper into his native accent."

The concept of a superhero afraid of heights struck a chord with many. "That's a great idea. A super that can fly, but is terrified of heights," commented one viewer. Others appreciated the comedic timing and the humanization of such a powerful character. "That is the 'happy' laugh of a man who REALLY doesn't want to be doing this," joked a fan.

Anthony Starr's versatility as an actor has been widely acknowledged. From his early days on "Shortland Street" and "Outrageous Fortune" to his chilling role in "The Boys," he's consistently impressed audiences. "Holy cow, I've just clicked who he is. I watched him in freaking Shortland Street (NZ ongoing soap) bloody decades ago," exclaimed a long-time fan.

Despite the terrifying persona of Homelander, Starr's genuine moments of vulnerability and humor have endeared him to many. "He's pretty cute when he's not playing an antagonist," one viewer mentioned. Another added, "But he still did it! Takes courage for that!"

For those who haven't started "The Boys" yet, this video might just be the push they need. "I've only recently started watching The Boys and I find Homelander to be the vilest character I've seen on the telly for a long time," shared a new viewer. Yet, even they couldn't help but appreciate Starr's dedication and skill.

This behind-the-scenes clip of Anthony Starr as Homelander provides a delightful glimpse into the actor's world, showcasing his talent, humor, and relatability. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the series, this video is a must-watch!
