The mask has finally slipped for The Boys star Tomer Capone, as a resurfaced 2016 interview reveals the chilling details of his time as a commander in the IDF.
While fans have fallen for his "lovable rogue" persona as Frenchie, Capone’s real-life history in the Nablus Casbah tells a much darker story of raids, aggression, and the systemic mistreatment of civilians.
The most disturbing account involves Capone leading a night raid to snatch an 18-year-old girl from her family home.
He describes the scene not with regret for the victim, but with a cold focus on his role as the "pipe" that delivered her to the Shin Bet. Even as her family או screamed and struggled to protect her, Capone and his squad physically tore her away, zip-tying her wrists and wrapping a flannel blindfold around her eyes.
Capone admits that as he marched the blindfolded girl away, she relaxed her arm in his grip, essentially pleading for a shred of humanity or a gentler touch. Instead, he delivered her to a room where she was locked away with other young girls.
While he claims he "fell apart" afterward, his reaction wasn't to help her, it was a violent fit of rage where he smashed his gear and weapon, a display of volatility so extreme that his own military-appointed therapist told him he was too "scary" to treat.
This wasn't an isolated incident of "just following orders." Capone openly describes a culture of cruelty under his command, including "pranks" where he and his fellow soldiers would dismantle civilian trucks and destroy their merchandise just for laughs.
He recounts "beating the crap" out of suspects and pouncing on individuals in their own homes, painting a picture of a man who thrived on the chaos of the occupation before fleeing to India to indulge in a year-long "death wish" of hard drugs.
As calls for Amazon to write Frenchie off the show intensify, many are questioning if a man who admitted to "opening watermelons" of poor street vendors for fun and dragging teenage girls into the night should have ever been given a global platform.
