The Boys and Thor: Ragnarok star, Karl Urban, in a recent Twitter post claims that he is going to lose his blue tick channeling his inner Billy Butcher. Urban has always been vocal about his dissatisfaction with many ongoing social issues. As such, his claim that he is opposed to spending money on social media comes as barely a surprise to fans. In fact, many celebrities have shown similar dissatisfaction with Twitter’s recent policies.
One of which, is paying $8 per month to keep the verification mark once the account gets verified through a Twitter blue subscription. Amusingly, fans who know The Boys star for always raising his voice against such systematic problems are rejoicing, claiming it as common Kurl Urban behavior.
Karl Urban pulls a Billy Butcher in his recent Tweet
Greeting the fans in his Twitter post, Karl Urban says, “I’ll lose the blue tick on Saturday. I’m opposed to spending money on social media.” True to his character both in and out of the series, he adds, “I’ll go checkless.” He further urges fans to be careful of imposters and money scammers, mentioning that he will never ask them for money on any social media platform.
Ending it with an amusing, “Cheers. K”, he seems to have sent the fans on a roll. It is safe to say that many are finding it hilarious as they keep saying what a winning behavior this is.
Karl Urban claims that he relates to Billy Butcher
Karl Urban has claimed before that he has related to his character Billy Butcher in The Boys series since day 1 in an interview before. According to him, “it all comes back to the circumstances.” Urban has always been aware of his platform in society, which he uses to raise his voice and spread awareness.
Something that also aligns with his character in the series, although in a slightly different context, as he mentioned, “now he finds himself in a position where he’s having to be a paternal figure to her son. He just doesn’t have the skillset for it.”
Urban understands his responsibilities as a prominent public figure and strives to impact the world in a better way using it. Be it on gun control, immigration laws, or raising funds for those affected by the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria. His hilarious response to Twitter’s verification policies just adds to it.
