Who’s afraid of a little nudity?
Prime Video
Starlight actress Erin Moriarty called her Herogasm experience “amazing, hilarious, and scarring at the same time.” Karl Urban, on the other hand, shared an anecdote (via The Guardian) that’s equal parts hilarious and troubling:
“Jensen [Ackles] walked on set one day when they were shooting Herogasm. He turned to one of the cameramen and said: ‘Hey, buddy, how’s it going?’ The cameraman has this thousand-yard stare and goes: ‘Dude, I’ve seen some shit.’”
While newcomers like Ackles were getting acclimated to the debauchery, long-timers like Jack Quaid were essentially pros at discomfort. This might have something to do with the fact that Quaid has spent about half the season donning a modesty sock, thanks to Hughie’s newfound ability to teleport his clothes off. On the subject of which cast member deserved a special award for their depravity tolerance, Kripke praised Quaid:
“I will give a certain prize to Jack for the amount of nudity that guy is rocking in season three without complaining. It’s like, ‘Oh another entire scene with my ass hanging out?’ Initially, you could see that it was something that he was quite uncomfortable with, but full credit to Jack, because actually put the work in he showed up in terrific shape. Once he got over the initial awkwardness of it, he actually quite embraced it.”
Urban had another take, shouting out The Deep actor Chase Crawford: “Chase is pretty open to doing some pretty wild s**t.” Remember all those jokes about Aquaman getting frisky with his aquatic friends? Let’s just say that “The Boys” takes that joke to the next level. The first six episodes of “The Boys” season 3 are now streaming on Prime Video, with new episodes every Friday.
The Biggest Episode Of The Boys Season 3 Was ‘Terrifying’ To Get On Film

The struggles of bringing Herogasm to life
Pulling off the episode involved having multiple intimacy coordinators, COVID officers, and general supervisors. Kripke added,
“When you think about dozens of completely naked people simulating sex acts during COVID, and the risk of someone being unprofessional or inappropriate. It’s scary to me. I held my breath the entire time.”
Speaking of safety first, the episode even came with a few eloquent warnings for its audience. A teaser shared by the show’s official Twitter, warned:
“I kept saying, ‘We have to lock this down tighter than we’ve ever locked down anything before in terms of it being professional and safe.’ There are people everywhere and they’re all pretending to have sex, so as a producer, we need a safe, non-toxic set where everyone feels welcome. That’s a really terrifying thing to try to pull off. It’s challenging because it’s important that the set be a happy, safe space.”
“This episode depicts a massive supe orgy, airborne penetration, dildo-based maiming, extra strength lube, icicle phalluses, and cursing. It is not suitable for any audience.”
