Throughout the series, viewers have seen him engage in questionable relationships with various sea creatures, often leading to bizarre and comedic moments.
In season four, fans are treated to more screen time and dialogue from Ambrosius, an octopus known for its peculiar relationship with The Deep. While viewers have seen the eight-limbed creature before, this season gives her a voice, adding a new layer to the character dynamics. The voice behind Ambrosius, to the surprise of many, is none other than the acclaimed actress Tilda Swinton.
Fans quickly took to social media to express their astonishment and admiration for the unexpected casting choice. One user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), “I love the unexpected cameos in this show.” Another shared, “It was bothering me so bad that I couldn’t place her voice the first 30 seconds. And then it hit me. The Boys is goated when it comes to cameos.”

Another added, “When I heard her I had a feeling she sounded familiar and when I checked I started laughing.”
The reactions highlight the show’s knack for surprising its audience and keeping them engaged with innovative character developments and casting choices. As one fan aptly put it, “No wonder I find it so sexy. I thought I was losing my mind.”
