Acclaimed actor Chace Crawford recently shared his experience filming an unexpected and challenging scene for the satirical superhero show The Boys. The 38-year-old actor, best known for his role as Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl, plays Kevin Moskowitz, aka The Deep, on the Amazon Prime series. The character's powers include breathing underwater and communicating with sea creatures.
Crawford confessed that a particular scene in season three, where he had to fake an intimate encounter with an octopus named Ambrosius, caught him off guard. Upon reading the script, she questioned how the scene would play out and even considered having a panic attack 24 hours before shooting it.
To prepare for the scene, Crawford contacted showrunner Eric Kripke to discuss the filming process, including camera angles and the level of nudity required. Despite his initial apprehension, Crawford revealed that only one shot was changed and filming continued without a hitch. The octopus, Ambrosius, was voiced by Oscar-winning British actress Tilda Swinton.
Crawford also mentioned that the scene was filmed on a closed set, meaning only essential crew members were present due to the sensitive nature of the scene. However, the production's intimacy coordinator was not involved in the filming process. Crawford described the act of handling the wet octopus as fun and quirky.
The actor also expressed his anxiety over the long interval between filming and airing the episodes, often wondering how his performance would be received. However, he was pleasantly surprised by the positive comments from fans, some of whom even approached him to express their admiration. One fan even showed him a photo of himself dressed as The Deep, wearing a pink octopus, at a Comic-Con event.
Despite the challenges and anxieties associated with the role, Crawford seems to have embraced the unique experiences that come with playing The Deep. All four seasons of The Boys are currently available on Amazon Prime Video.
