Antony Starr Shares Controversial BTS Shots from ‘The Boys’ at Frenchie’s Grave
A viral post from The Boys star Antony Starr has caught the attention of fans online after he shared behind-the-scenes images from the show, including a controversial moment at Frenchie’s grave.
Starr, who portrays Homelander in the series, posted the images on Instagram with the caption, “Found all these beautiful BTS things. More to come.” Among the photos was a scene depicting him in a graveyard setting linked to Frenchie’s storyline, which quickly drew reactions from fans due to its dark and unusual tone, particularly as it appears he is urinating on the grave.
Frenchie’s character had already met a tragic fate in the final season of The Boys, Season 5, Episode 7.
In the storyline, Frenchie sacrifices himself during a mission that goes awry when Homelander attacks the team’s hideout. To protect Kimiko and help complete the plan, he ends up trapping himself in a highly dangerous radiation chamber. The exposure proves fatal, and although he survives long enough to escape the immediate blast zone, he later dies in Kimiko’s arms. His final moments are emotional and closely tied to his bond with her.
Frenchie’s death serves as one of the emotional anchors of the final episodes. His loss deeply affects the remaining members of the group and significantly impacts Kimiko’s journey during the ultimate confrontation. Before the last battle, she struggles to harness the power he helped create, overwhelmed by grief and anger.
In a pivotal moment, she experiences a vision of Frenchie, who encourages her to stay grounded. He tells her, “Rage is not what makes you strong… It has always been yours.” This helps her regain control and continue the fight against Homelander.
After the final battle, the series concludes with a quieter resolution for Kimiko. She honors Frenchie’s memory by pursuing their shared dream of traveling to France, symbolizing the emotional closure of their relationship.
The BTS images shared by Antony Starr seem to reference this storyline in a more playful or provocative behind-the-scenes context, which is not unusual for cast members of The Boys, a series known for its dark humor and shocking tone.
