Antony Starr’s 2022 trip to Spain was a little more action-packed than anyone anticipated. In February, Deadline reported that Starr was in Spain’s resort city, Alicante, to film a Guy Ritchie action flick, and “The Boys” star seemed to be having a little too much fun. On March 2, Starr was arrested on suspicion of wounding a 21-year-old chef at a local pub, per the Daily Mail. The chef, Bathuel Araujo, told local outlet Información (via the Mail) that he had asked Starr to curb his “very drunk” behavior after it perturbed him — a suggestion to which Starr allegedly didn’t take kindly. Starr reportedly punched Araujo twice in the face and hurled a glass at him. “After he punched me I was dizzy and that’s when he hit me with the glass by his left eyebrow,” Araujo claimed. Reportedly, the chef also received four stitches for the glass-induced injury. Yikes!
Spending two nights in police custody, per a spokesman for Spain’s National Police, Starr pled guilty to assault charges in an Alicante court, receiving a 12-month jail sentence. In Spain, however, prison sentences of under two years are suspended if the offender lacks a criminal record, as was true for Starr. (That is, as long as he paid his court-ordered fine of $5,464.97 within 72 hours.)
And to think, just a day before his arrest, Starr was taking tourist-y boat selfies along the Costa Blanca coastline…
