Since we first saw ‘The Boys’ season 4, there’s been a lot of talk about Laz Alonso’s weight loss. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, the actor explained how and why he lost 40lbs to return as Mother’s Milk:
“I was heavy on caloric surplus when I first started the show. Season 1 and 2, I wanted to look like the comic. Season 3, we shot during and after COVID and I went from looking like the comic to looking like a very inflated version of the comic.”
Alonso Decided To Lose Weight
Alonso noticed his significant weight gain when seeing promotional posters for the show’s third season and realized he had reached nearly 250 lbs, much heavier than before. He continued:
“It wasn’t healthy. Before season 4 came around, I wanted to do something real different. I always meet with [Erik] Kripke at the top of the season and he told me, ‘This season, Mother’s Milk is gonna go through a big transition’ so I wanted to, in his OCD fashion, to depict that and show that visibly. I went into an extreme calorie reduction. I shaved because now he reports directly to the White House.”
In The Boys season 4, the world faces a crisis. Victoria Neuman edges closer to the Oval Office while Homelander tightens his grip on power. Butcher, with little time left to live, has lost Becca’s son and leadership of The Boys. The team is tired of his deceit. They must unite to save the world as the stakes reach their peak.
When Will ‘The Boys’ End?
Last month, ‘The Boys’ showrunner Eric Kripke announced that the Amazon Prime Video superhero series would conclude after Season 5. He posted a screenshot of a redacted script for the Season 4 finale and wrote on X:
“#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season! Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 DAYS, cause the end has begun!”
