We have a table read because we shoot this entirely in Cape Town for six months. And I was like, who the fuck is this dude with this Australian accent or this New Zealand accent? I was like, I kind of like him. He's cool. And we shoot the movie. He kicks my ass. I kick his ass. I'm home nine months later.
I'm doing some ADR and our director, Patricia, it was like, yeah, Anthony, the movie's looking great. We got this great buzz from Tony and his show. I was like, what show's Tony on though? First off, when we were doing scenes together, she would say Anthony, and we would all turn to her and be like, huh? Right, right. And she'd say, oh, let me do this. I'll call you by your name, Anthony Starr.
And so every time she would say Anthony Starr, I would say, huh? Because you're a star. I'm a star, and I'm Anthony, and I have no idea who the other Southern motherfucker is. So I was like, she's talking to me. And she didn't notice his name. I was like, oh, my bad. So that still became my running joke. So she was like, yeah, Anthony Starr, you know, he has a show with the boys.
I was like, who the fuck is he on the boys? I watch the boys all the time. I was just watching it before I came here. He's Superman. I was like, get the fuck out of here. Because he just looks so different. We were doing press all day yesterday. I told him, I would say, hey, Tony, I had no idea you were who the fuck you were. Homelander.
I said, I had no idea who the fuck you were when we were working together. Even though you're a fan of the boys. Yes.
And he was like, what? I was like, dog, when I watch you on the boys, you're seven feet tall to me, motherfucker. Yeah. You're a fucking superhero. I was like, the way you are on that motherfucking show, it's not you. Right. That's not who I work with. Yeah. And he was like, yeah, man.
It's like when I saw Fela. on Broadway and I went backstage to meet the cast and I was looking for the dude that played Fela and I forget his name, but I'm talking to him. And as I'm talking to him, I keep looking behind him and looking around, trying to find a dude before he leaves and shit. And then I realized it's him. And then when I left, I was like, oh my God. Yeah.
Because he was a small, demure dude. But as Fela on stage, this motherfucker was larger than the fucking theater that they were in on Broadway. But when I went to meet him, he's just a regular dude. And I was like, this motherfucker's phenomenal. Yeah. He's a magician. That's how I feel about Anthony Starks as motherfucking Homelander on The Boys.
Viola and I are ex-military and it's a big action film. You know, terrorists take over the G20 global summit that we're at. We end up kicking ass and getting our ass kicked throughout the film. She's doing a ton of ass kicking. Wait till you see it. You're going to be like, God damn.
Let me see. Did he send a text?
I'm going to call again. Hold on. Let's see. Let's see if Lionel Richie's going to pick up. He never picks up the phone, though. He's earned the right not to pick up the phone. I've only spoken to him on the phone maybe twice in all these years. All the years that I've met him. You had the third time to be online. But I know where he lives. I know where he works.
This motherfucker saw this call and sent me the voicemail. It only rang three times. Oh. It only rang three times. He might be in the middle. Hey, man, you better be shooting the voice right now, Lionel Richie. I'm still doing this podcast two and a half hours later. I don't know how the hell Dax Chepra got me to fucking do this podcast for two and a half hours.
It was only supposed to be for 40 minutes. But we're still trying to reach you. And we're not going to end this interview until we talk to you. Lionel, please call me back and not let me out of the room until you call back. I love you, Lionel. Well, we've done all we can.
Yeah, see what happens. I did that with Oprah on Jimmy's show once.
She didn't pick up.
No. We can't. I don't want you to be wasting my calls.
There are only a certain amount of calls people like that pick up from you.
So bad.
The last child leaves the house. On average, parents get happier, don't they? The best data suggests happiness increases when the kids leave home and the dog dies. You go to some parents and you go, do children make you happy? And parents will say, oh, of course they do. They make me happier than anything else.
We know from tons of data that those parents are wrong, that children in fact have a small but negative impact on the happiness of their parents. their parents don't know it. Those data tell you something about parenthood and happiness. There may be many reasons to have children, but making yourself more happy in the moment is not one of them.
