Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers from Season 4, Episodes 1-3 of The Boys.
From crotch explosions to a bizarre breast milk obsession, The Boys has treated us to numerous NSFW moments. But the pinnacle of absurdity arrives in Season 3 when The Deep (Chace Crawford) gets frisky with Ambrosius, an octopus.
Yes, you read that right: This aquatic Supe is diving deep into interspecies romance.
He eventually brings Ambrosius home to meet his wife, Cassandra (Katy Breier), who isn't exactly thrilled about adding tentacles to their bedroom escapades. In the end, Cassandra leaves The Deep, but Ambrosius stays put and even gains a voice in Season 4.
With that in mind, who's the voice behind Ambrosius? Read on to find out!
Who voices Ambrosius in Season 4 of 'The Boys'?
If you're dying to know who's behind Ambrosius' voice, don't you dare touch that remote after the first episode of Season 4! Watch those credits roll and keep your eyes peeled for the "Special Guest Star" tag, where the big reveal awaits: The one and only Tilda Swinton takes on the role of Ambrosius!
The renowned British actress shines in both indie gems and blockbuster films, including Edward II, We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Chronicles of Narnia series, Doctor Strange, and Michael Clayton, the latter of which won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
She is also known for her roles in the Wes Anderson films Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, The French Dispatch, and Asteroid City.
Although she won't be seen in Wes Anderson's next film, The Phoenician Scheme, make sure you keep an eye out for Tilda in upcoming projects like the apocalyptic musical The End, an untitled film by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Pedro Almodóvar's first English-language feature film, The Room Next Door.
The Deep keeps Ambrosius tucked away in his closet.
In the Season 4 premiere, titled "Department of Dirty Tricks," viewers are treated to the bombshell revelation that The Deep's secret romance with Ambrosius has been splashed across the headlines. As it turns out, his ex-wife Cassandra penned a scandalous tell-all book and seemingly revealed The Deep's sexual relationship with the octopus.
During an appearance on a talk show, The Deep tackles the elephant — err, octopus — in the room, vehemently denying any "relations with an octopus." He dismisses the scandal as a "racist rumor and a ridiculous lie perpetuated by a jilted and emotionally unstable, hysterical woman."
Vought CEO Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie) then grills The Deep about the octopus, asking if he got rid of it, and he boldly asserts that Ambrosius is no longer in his company — but, surprise, it's all a lie!
Toward the end of the Season 4 premiere, The Deep speaks with someone off-camera in his bedroom. He soon flings open his closet doors, unveiling Ambrosius enclosed in a tank. Despite the cringe-worthy display of affection, Ambrosius tries to convince The Deep to pack his belongings so they can be together.
"We could vanish in the waves together. We wouldn't have to hide our love anymore; we could just be Kevin and Ambrosius," whispers the octopus to The Deep, who beams with adoration. Ugh, gag! This is seriously messed up!
New episodes of The Boys drop on Thursdays at 3 a.m. EST on Prime Video.
