00:31 ♪♪
00:38 -A homilated speech at his birthday extravaganza.
00:42 -I am done apologizing.
00:43 I am done being persecuted for my strength.
00:47 You people should be thanking Christ
00:49 that I am who and what I am because you need me!
00:54 You need me to save you!
00:55 -You need me! -You are the Metro.
00:57 -The beginning of my rap career.
00:59 -Yeah. [ Laughter ]
01:01 -You need my relationship development with Metro Boomin.
01:04 [ Laughter ]
01:06 Big moment in the show because it's the first time
01:08 Homelander really broke character
01:11 and decided to really show who he is,
01:14 and then he learns, "Oh, wow, I can be myself,
01:17 and they love me for it," quote, unquote.
01:20 Then it leads to the end of the season when he kills someone.
01:24 So it's the progression.
01:25 It's the beginning of that progression.
01:26 -You're not the real hero.
01:30 I'm the real hero.
01:32 -It just happened to be the beginning of my deep affection
01:37 for and relationship with Metro Boomin.
01:41 -Metro Boomin?
01:42 -It's Boomin, isn't it?
01:44 [ Laughter ]
01:46 -Do it again. Say it again.
01:47 -No, no, no. It's Boomin to his tight ones.
01:50 -Oh, my God. -Don't ever do that again.
01:52 -Oh, my gosh.
01:53 -Don't ever do that again, bro.
01:55 -Uh-oh. I don't know.
01:56 -Laz, you missed a gesture, bro.
01:58 He made one of these out of here.
01:59 -That was fantastic.
02:01 -Actually, they approached 'cause he wanted to use it
02:04 in the "Heroes & Villains" album.
02:05 We said yes, and then I heard the song,
02:08 and, of course, that album went gangbusters.
02:11 -I really want to see it live.
02:12 -Well, yes. Are you gonna do it live?
02:14 -Can you do it live?
02:15 -Are you gonna do the song live, bro?
02:17 -Here today.
02:18 -I better go there.
02:19 -I know.
02:20 -I know what you mean.
02:21 Like, if Metro goes on stage.
02:22 -They did Coachella, and at one point,
02:25 he was in touch with me, going, "Maybe you come out after..."
02:28 -That would have been so cool.
02:29 -If they brought a hologram of you, no, it would be fine.
02:31 [ Laughter ]
02:32 -It would keep you excited.
02:34 -It was way cheaper for them just to play the push record.
02:37 I was like, "Oh, no."
02:39 -Maybe next year. -It was talked about.
02:41 -Homelander makes the deed eat Timothy.
02:44 ♪♪
02:48 -Eat Frank. Eat Frank.
02:51 ♪♪
02:54 -Timothee. -Timothee.
02:55 -Timothee. -Follow me.
02:57 -Homelander making the deed eat Timothee is a big moment.
03:00 -Because the deed... -I guess it was quite erotic.
03:02 -...loves all the creatures in the sea.
03:03 -You were having a relationship with Timothy.
03:05 -No, it was a different thing.
03:08 He was just friends with Timothy.
03:09 -That's not my understanding.
03:10 -It's a big loyalty test.
03:11 How far is the deed willing to go?
03:14 How deep is he willing to go? -One deeper.
03:17 -Yeah, yeah, yeah, one deeper. One notch deeper.
03:19 ♪♪
03:24 -Timothy was made of phyllo dough
03:25 and maple syrup and chocolate.
03:26 -And we won the PETA award for it.
03:28 -And we won the PETA award because he was made of
03:30 phyllo dough and maple syrup and chocolate.
03:33 It's mostly CGI. -It's true.
03:34 -It turned out like "Roaster" and I remember it to be.
03:37 -That was actually a very funny day.
03:39 -'Cause they had tape nylon on your face, as well,
03:42 to make your face move with the tentacles.
03:44 It was hysterical. -Yeah, it was funny.
03:46 -It was very funny. -We're at a big table,
03:48 and it was like an eight-hour --
03:49 it took eight hours to get all the way.
03:50 Everyone's reactions, but...
03:52 -Did you have a spit bucket? -Oh, yeah.
03:54 -I did have a spit bucket. -Great.
03:55 -Yeah, gross. -Yeah, it was pretty great.
03:57 -It was actually like three takes.
03:58 It was one with the thing and then one with the pulleys
04:01 and then one with, like, a little walk.
04:03 -Okay. -Oh, God.
04:05 -Rest in peace, Timothy.
04:07 -Yeah, rest in peace, Timothy.
04:09 -Herogasm!
04:12 -Party? -Yeah.
04:13 The 70th anniversary of Herogasm.
04:15 -Fuck me.
04:19 -Oh, shit.
04:20 -That was -- wasn't that, like --
04:22 [ Laughter ]
04:24 -Just a little scarf.
04:25 -Did he have it on a stick?
04:27 Was there, like, a literal --
04:28 -Yeah, they gave us something. -They did.
04:29 They did. They totally did, 'cause Stefan was --
04:32 -To move from. -Stefan was --
04:33 Like, okay, so, the dude that works on our special effects,
04:37 the head of special effects on the boys,
04:38 was waving a, like, dick on a stick in front of our face.
04:42 -Dick on a stick.
04:43 -'Cause we needed it for the full effect.
04:45 So, we were dodging that thing. I remember it.
04:47 I can't forget that thing, like, coming out of it.
04:49 -It was very intrusive.
04:51 -Yeah, it was very intrusive.
04:53 The most disturbing part is, we're just talking to this dude,
04:55 trying to figure out what's going on,
04:57 and we know we got to get into the house,
04:58 and all of a sudden, the sausage
05:00 just comes flying out our face.
05:02 And I have yet to encounter this love sausage,
05:05 so we're just trying to keep our cool.
05:08 And the way that we end up entering the house
05:12 is because I provide an in-depth testimony to his skills.
05:20 -Yes.
05:21 -I'm with her for the fuck party.
05:24 -Yeah. -Mm-hmm.
05:26 -No, he's very good at cunnilingus.
05:27 Yeah, his tongue is just -- Yeah.
05:30 He just gobbles that vagina right up.
05:32 Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
05:35 -Love sausage, huh?
05:36 -It was the love sausage smelling me
05:38 that really just kind of -- -Mother smelled.
05:41 -There was no acting required in that moment.
05:44 -Yeah, Kripke and I had a lot of back and forth
05:48 because I told him, I said,
05:50 "The next time Mother's Milk sees love sausage,
05:52 it needs to be on site.
05:53 Like, it should really become hostile,
05:56 and Starlight has to hold him back."
05:58 Kripke's explanation was,
06:00 "Love sausage doesn't recognize me.
06:02 He doesn't remember me."
06:04 Because, really, it was his penis
06:06 that strangled Mother's Milk through the window.
06:08 -I'm sorry.
06:09 -But love sausage never saw who he was strangling.
06:12 He only saw Karen's character knock him out.
06:14 -Yeah, I saved you.
06:16 -So, technically, love sausage has never met me.
06:18 -He --
06:19 [ Breathing heavily ]
06:22 [ Thud ]
06:23 [ Breathing heavily ]
06:24 -Q, how did you do that?
06:26 -Q and I finally get to be vulnerable
06:30 in front of each other for the first time.
06:32 It just so happened that he was in a silky pink robe,
06:35 and, you know, there were just unmentionable things
06:39 happening to the left and right of us.
06:41 But sometimes you just got to get stuff off your chest,
06:44 you know?
06:45 And that just so happened to be the time and place
06:47 that Huey decides to sort of bring it up to A-Train.
06:51 And A-Train was also going through
06:54 a lot of vulnerability in that moment, as well,
06:57 and, you know, just decided to address it
06:59 and sort of take a pause on his mission
07:01 for being in "HeroGasm,"
07:02 which, unlike everyone else, was not sexual, surprisingly.
07:06 You know what I mean?
07:07 -It didn't mean the same thing to me.
07:10 We made it out.
07:11 -Yeah, right.
07:12 That was the first time since, you know, the accident.
07:15 We can even refer to that.
07:16 -Do you mean you running over?
07:17 -It was an accident.
07:18 -Oh, by the way, thank you.
07:19 -Two, it was also her fault.
07:20 -Okay, okay.
07:21 -Yeah, right?
07:22 -Thank you.
07:23 -It was like, "Ultimate wingman."
07:24 -Thank you.
07:25 -Yes.
07:26 -See, in the subtext of the show,
07:27 it was all so sexual.
07:28 -Yeah.
07:29 -Yeah.
07:30 -Yeah.
07:31 -It was all Starlight's idea.
07:32 -Full love.
07:33 -Now she's like, "I like this guy.
07:34 Kill this girl."
07:35 -That's the plot twist.
07:36 -Boom.
07:37 -My plan's been --
07:38 -Spiral, spiral, spiral.
07:39 Here we are.
07:40 -Thank you.
07:41 -They're in a relationship, pink robe.
07:42 You know what I mean?
07:43 -Yeah, thank you.
07:44 -You're welcome.
07:45 -Homelander versus Butcher versus Soldier Boy
07:48 and a naked Huey.
07:50 Naked because of his bamfing.
07:52 Those in the know will know.
07:53 -Do it!
07:54 -Ugh!
07:55 [ Growling ]
07:56 -Huey!
07:57 Get out of here!
07:58 -I'm sorry.
07:59 -I'm sorry.
08:00 -Get out of here!
08:01 -No fucking way.
08:02 -Boo!
08:03 -Boo!
08:04 -Boo!
08:05 -Boo!
08:06 -What the --
08:07 -The reason it was important is because that's the first time
08:09 Homelander's ever faced an existential threat.
08:12 Walks into a situation where he thinks he's got everything
08:14 under control, and then it spirals out of control.
08:17 It gets stranger and stranger for him.
08:19 -Holy shit.
08:21 [ Grunting ]
08:23 -First of all, it's very complicated to do those fight
08:30 scenes, as everyone here knows.
08:32 It's really hard.
08:33 We got a great stunt coordinator in Joan Koyama.
08:37 He's amazing.
08:38 But that's labor-- it's hard work.
08:40 So there was that, but then there was a lot of beat changes
08:42 in the scene, as well.
08:45 There's a lot to process, and I don't think we ever got there.
08:47 But then it leads to the mirror scene and added a lot of layers
08:50 to the character.
08:51 -How many days did you guys shoot that fight for?
08:54 -Only two.
08:55 -Damn.
08:56 -Really?
08:57 -Wow.
08:58 -Really?
08:59 -It was very difficult, but you know what?
09:00 It was me, Jensen, and Kyle, and Jack, but Jack came in at the end.
09:04 -Naked Jack.
09:05 -Naked Jack.
09:06 -Naked Jack.
09:07 -But we were all pretty game, and we all just sort of threw ourselves in.
09:10 And despite it being a lot of hard work in a very short space of time, it was actually
09:13 a lot of fun.
09:14 -The truth about Victoria.
09:17 -I need people to know what happened to me.
09:20 -Tony, I can't.
09:23 -Please.
09:24 -Okay.
09:25 -The alleyway fight scene, that was fun.
09:32 That was so much fun.
09:33 -It turned out awesome.
09:34 -That was great.
09:35 We were filming until like 5 a.m.
09:36 It was so cold, but I was like, "The adrenaline!"
09:38 Like it was really awesome.
09:39 -Yeah.
09:40 -It looks--
09:41 -There was so much fake blood at some point, and it was drying,
09:44 that I was just ripping out bits of my hair.
09:47 -It's like a little wax.
09:48 -It is.
09:49 It took a little wax.
09:50 -It is.
09:51 It's a wax.
09:52 It's really painful.
09:53 -Yeah, but that was fun.
09:54 And Hughie's hiding behind the bin, trash can.
09:55 -We understood bin.
09:56 -And he spurted.
09:57 -Bin.
09:58 -Bin.
09:59 -Bin.
10:00 -Did you say bin?
10:01 -Yeah.
10:02 -I think it builds to where we've come now, in her search for power.
10:05 -She's willing to do anything.
10:06 -She's willing to do anything to get there.
10:08 -Can I just say my favorite part about your character is,
10:11 you know you're in the room when your nose starts to bleed?
10:15 I fucking love that.
10:16 That's really cool.
10:17 -I want to hear that.
10:18 -Has everyone here seen Gen V all the way through?
10:21 -Yes, yes.
10:22 I love that show.
10:23 -I think that was an interesting twist.
10:24 -Oh, yeah.
10:25 -I think that was a good twist.
10:26 -Oh, that was, I didn't know that.
10:27 -I didn't know that.
10:28 -I know.
10:29 -When I saw it, I went, "Oh my God, this is going to be so good."
10:32 -Okay, my bad.
10:33 I got excited over that moment.
10:34 I did.
10:35 I did.
10:36 I did.
10:37 -I read the script and I was like, "I what?"
10:38 -Yeah, I know.
10:39 I would have never put that together.
10:40 -Me neither.
10:41 -So good.
10:42 -Thanks, Eric.
10:43 -Shout out to the writers.
10:44 -Yes.
10:45 -Final fight.
10:46 -Yes, I am.
10:47 I am your son.
10:48 I am your blood.
10:49 That's all that matters.
10:50 -I'm sorry.
10:51 -I'm sorry.
10:52 -That's all that matters.
10:55 -Maybe.
10:56 -You know the funniest thing?
10:57 Me and Jensen on set would go, "What'd you do?"
11:01 I don't know if this is bad.
11:02 -It's probably bad.
11:03 -Too bad.
11:04 -No, no, no.
11:05 It's funny.
11:06 If we totally saw each other, I'd be like, "Papa."
11:07 And he'd be like, "Mijo."
11:09 -Oh, that's cute.
11:10 -Yeah, it was very sweet.
11:11 Towards the end of season three, we find out that Homelander's father is none other than
11:19 Soldier Boy, played by Jensen Ackles, who's one of the nicest human beings to --
11:23 -Alive.
11:24 -Ever.
11:25 -I wouldn't say alive, but to come on our set.
11:27 -So in the end, there was a face-off with me and my father, a little bit like Luke and
11:33 Vader.
11:34 I like to think of it like that.
11:36 Which turned into Homelander and Maeve.
11:39 And then all of y'all, you and you and you, you all had a big fight with Soldier Boy.
11:46 -We did.
11:47 -Actually, how was that for you guys?
11:49 -I loved flying.
11:50 -Oh, that's right.
11:51 You flew.
11:52 -That's where you first flew.
11:53 -That's true.
11:54 And then I loved that after that entire season with that shit that Huey and I were going
11:57 through, I love that he's the reason why I flew.
12:00 Like, I'm sure I would've flown eventually myself, but he amped up the power so much,
12:04 and he was the reason why I was able to fly.
12:07 So that was cute.
12:08 And then Soldier Boy just fucking ricocheted me off of the wall and smashed me into the
12:13 ground.
12:14 But I still flew.
12:15 -For me, because every season I try to negotiate and try to get Mother's Milk powers, Kripke
12:24 shuts me down.
12:25 -Every time.
12:26 -Every time.
12:27 -Every time.
12:28 -He's like, "No, no."
12:29 -Laz, what powers do you pitch?
12:30 -I don't know.
12:31 I just want powers.
12:32 -He pitched a team up between A-Train and him.
12:33 He's like, "Me and A-Train can be strong together."
12:36 And boom.
12:37 -I just want powers.
12:38 But I will say, to make up for it, because he shuts me down, he always gives me a cool
12:44 weapon at the end.
12:45 -Yeah, he does.
12:46 -And in this final fight, I got a four-barrel shotgun.
12:50 Fuck your shield, bitch.
12:51 -Nice!
12:52 -That was a nice.
12:53 -That was good even right now.
12:54 -I said it terribly, right?
12:55 -Yeah, say it again like you said it.
12:56 -Fuck your shield, bitch.
12:57 -Fuck your shield, bitch.
12:58 -Woo!
12:59 -That was good.
13:00 -That chills!
13:01 -I got it.
13:02 Hey, guys.
13:03 -I got it.
13:04 He's the one.
13:05 -Thanks for having us on GQ's Biggest Moments from The Boys Season 3.
13:10 The Boys Season 4 comes out June 13th.
13:12 Tune in on Amazon Prime Video.
13:14 Thank you.
13:15 I know I'll be doing that.
13:16 -Oh.
13:17 -Ha ha ha!
13:17 (upbeat music)
