Since the series is a satire on the real-world, naturally, some elements of truth were borrowed from the real life too. One of these iconic dialogues took place between The Deep and a writer who allegedly doesn’t “get paid sh*t”.

“I can pay you” says the writer while raising his hands. The Deep replied “You’re a writer. You don’t get paid sh*t” as he crushes his skull in.

However, fans seemed to notice that the voice of Ambrosius was quite familiar. Chace Crawford and the world was shocked to learn that the octopus was voiced by Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton!

In an interview with CinemaBlend, Chace Crawford was all praises for Swinton for portraying a role such as this!

When they said that Tilda Swinton was doing it, I just started crying laughing because she must have a great sense of humor to want to come and play with us in this insane scene and give life to Ambrosius, finally. And it makes the scene so much funnier and real.

For those unversed, Tilda Swinton is an Oscar-winning actress known for her role in the 2007 film Michael Clayton and being the Ancient One in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
