Chace Crawford is a loser – at least on the superhero satire The Boys – and he wouldn’t have it any other way. The Gossip Girl alumnus portrays the Deep, the amphibious member of the Seven, whose “impressive” superpowers consist of breathing underwater and communicating with sea creatures. Those lame-o abilities, combined with the Deep’s narcissism, social awkwardness and a running gag that involves his aquatic pals continually getting slaughtered in macabre fashion, has cemented the Aquaman rip-off’s status as the funniest character on the series. SFX caught up with Crawford to chat calendars, comedy and the Deep’s unlucky streak.
