The Boys' Karl Urban's Most Bizarre Role is Ironically Homelander's Creepy Fantasy
It looks like Homelander isn't the only one who is obsessed with milk.
While waiting for the next season of The Boys, we decided to browse the filmography of one of The Boys' main stars, Karl Urban. Here's what we found.
Karl Urban is known for his roles in The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Dredd, and ultimately for his great portrayal of Butcher in the black superhero comedy The Boys.
But before he became the guy who hates super people, Urban starred in this offbeat gem of a movie that presented the actor in a whole different light.
In 2000, Karl Urban starred in a charming romantic comedy that took audiences on a journey through the stunning New Zealand countryside.
The Price of Milk, directed by Harry Sinclair, is a delightful and eccentric tale that combines elements of fairy tales, magic realism, and a generous sprinkle of Kiwi humor.
In The Price of Milk, Urban plays the role of Rob, a slightly eccentric dairy farmer who is deeply in love with his girlfriend Lucinda, portrayed by Danielle Cormack.
Together, they live a seemingly idyllic life in the breathtaking New Zealand countryside. But as with any good romantic comedy, things take an unexpected turn.
Due to Rob's limited display of affection, Lucinda puts him through various tests to ensure his love for her.
One of her peculiar trials involves swimming in the vast reservoir of milk, which resulted in the loss of around 1500 dollars' worth of milk. She later proceeds to sell the whole herd of cows.
As the cows vanish, Lucinda and Rob's relationship faces a series of challenges. Their love, trust, and commitment are put to the test, making them question the very foundation of their bond.
While overcoming obstacles, Lucinda and Rob must navigate their way back to one another, learning valuable lessons about the true nature of love and sacrifice along the way.
The movie didn't receive good reviews or high acclaim. However, it is rather popular in New Zealand. It's also important to note that this quirky film was produced with a limited budget, and the script was being written right in the filming process.
