Kripke took to X (Formerly Twitter) to clarify that this is indeed notKarl Urban’s butthole.

That should be obvious, but there have allegedly been enough inquiries on social media to draw his attention.

“We hired a model (I don’t know his name).

I chose the pic, based on about 20 different butthole shots.

Yep, Hollywood is a glamorous dream factory.”

At first, it seems like Butcher is going to acquiesce.

The first three episodes ofThe Boysseason 4 dropped on Prime Video last week, and buttholes did abound.

“I think we heard from his reps that he was interested in the part.

The minute I heard, I said, ‘Hold on!

Let me reach out to him personally.’

He’s a friend, so I emailed with him.

I’m like, ‘Yo!

Before you even audition, I just want you to know what you’re getting yourself into.'”

Episode 4 will arrive this Thursday.

You know, if we had to guess.
