There is no shortage of uncomfortable moments on The Boys.
And at Emerald City Comic Con's panel celebrating the Prime Video show, series star Karl Urban was asked what was the most awkward part about filming the show's infamous Herogasm sequence in season 3. Urban dished on all the details without hesitation.
"I remember going onto that set, and it was post-COVID, and everyone was very conscientious about not spreading germs and stuff. So I went over to sanitize my hands. It wasn't hand sanitizer in the pump bottle. It's like, it's a TV show. You don't need to put real lube in the freakin' props! Who does that?" Urban said.
