The Boys star Laz Alonso has admitted that he's already "mentally prepared" to become a meme once the show's second season drops.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Alonso teased that something very meme-able happens to his character Mother's Milk in season two, and he's more than prepared for the social reaction to the moment.
Alonso said: "You're always getting surprised, even on a show where our tolerance level for ridiculousness is much higher than most people.

"There's something happening to Mother's Milk in season two which will make the meme viral circuit once the episode airs. I'm already mentally prepared for it to get memed this way."
Without giving too much away, Alonso said of the scene: "All I can say is something wraps around my neck. That's all I'm gonna reveal."
