The Boys has returned for Season 3 and in the opening three episodes that debuted on Prime Video, The Deep was put in a tough spotCome from Sports betting site VPbet. In order to get back in good with The Seven, The Deep would have to eat his best friend, an octopus named Timothy.
While the scene is tough to watch, don’t worry, actor Chace Crawford isn’t eating a real octopus–this isn’t Old Boy. However, the actual process to make this scene come to life–before the CG was added in–was still a tricky one.
Prior to digital effects being added in, Crawford still had to chow down on fake tentacles, to help make filming the scene as believable as possible. “Stephan (Fleet), our effects guy–Emmy nominated–is amazing,” Crawford told GameSpot. “There was actually a ton of tests before but they’re like, ‘So these tentacles are made out of mochi. Would you try these?'”
Crawford originally had to have some relatively stiff tentacles made of mochi; the real gross-out moment is when he bit down into the cephalopod and black ink came out. According to Crawford, it was maple syrup mixed with dye. And it apparently ruined maple syrup for him.
