‘The Boys’ And Homelander Actor Antony Starr Are Thrilled To Count Obama As A Fan

In a move that would feel right at home in the dark superhero comedy, Barack Obama exploded heads on Tuesday when he revealed that he’s a fan of The Boys. While sitting down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the former president cited the show as one of his faves whenever he needed to take a break from writing his new book, The Promised Land. Obama enjoyed watching the creative team “turn superhero conventions on their heads to lay bare issues of race, capitalism, and the distorting effects of corporate power and mass media.”

While learning Obama likes to kick back with a raunchy episode of The Boys is a “holy sh*t” moment by itself, the team behind the show were understandably flipping out once they saw the news. Homelander actor Antony Starr seemed to particularly enjoy this latest bit of presidential trivia, and he had some fun imagining Obama watching the extremely NSFW Love Sausage scene from season two.
