And yes, hes most definitely laughing with you about that eyebrow-raising bulge.
EW went straight to Crawford to get the lowdown on that now-infamous photo.
And in between laughs and groans, he finally addressed the elephant in the room:thatbulge.

Im sworn to secrecy.
I wish I could give you a good answer but well never know.
It will forever remain a mystery.

We will never know!
He groans again before adding with another laugh, Oh my god!
Crawford knows exactly why the internet latched on to that particular photo, and yeah, he gets it.
He thought it was the funniest thing in the world.
That was one I had to explain to a few people.
I got a lot of weird DMs in my inbox.
He laughs and adds, A lot of love, a lot of love!
and admits he didnt realize what he was getting himself into at first while posing for it.
We were all there on set doing group shots.
They pulled me over to a green screen and told me, Were doing calendars.
Im thinking, okay, everyones got a calendar.
It was just me!
Crawford still remembers the moment he realized the calendar only featured his fictional vain superhero The Deep.
They showed me one of the months and Im like, Cool.
But then Im flipping through and Im like, Wait… Im in every one of these.
Well… st,' Crawford says.
Its obviously in character and its amazingly cheesy and really funny.
We really went for it.
I knew it was going to be ridiculous but I got the calendar fake-out.
I really thought it was the whole crew, the whole team!
And when I was at Comic-Con they just had like 40 of them.
I was like, Okay, no ones ever going to really see these.'
He laughs again before adding, Little did I know… yeah.Yup.
Talk about a project that I didnt know what the reaction was going to be like!
This guy comes up to me, my age, maybe older.
Hey man, are you Chace?
And Im like, Yeah, yeah.
And hes like, No, we just binge-watchedThe Boys, man.
It was the first time, and it was actually really refreshing.
he says with another laugh.
When that started happening I had a big smile on my face.
Its got such a different demographic.
Lets just say Aquaman would be deeply offended by The Deeps relationships with dolphins and lobsters.
They kept throwing me curve balls every time I got a new script!
I was like, Wow, Ive never seen that on TV before!
I mean, Im doing scenes with inanimate objects, a dolphin, a lobster!
I went crazy with it and those crazy moments made it.
It actually made me more sick shooting it than watching it back, Crawford says.
There were gills involved.
That was a surreal day.
This is the most odd, bizarre day of filming Ive ever had.'
But he took it all in with a good attitude.
We were all laughing, he adds of filming that intense scene.
Every single person in that room was ready to call it, Okay, thats enough of that.
We got it, lets get the hell out of here.
It was pretty funny.
And while Crawford cant reveal muchabout season 2, he does tease thats its going to be interesting.
Theres a lot more detail and the props guys went all out.
The scope of it just feels bigger.
Its been quite a ride.
Weve got some new characters and the writing is just incredible.
Heres hoping there will be more photoshoots of The Deep coming with the new season ofThe Boystoo.
