Erin Moriarty experienced significant health challenges while filming the fifth and final season of "The Boys." She disclosed a Graves' disease diagnosis, which caused debilitating symptoms like fatigue and nausea, impacting her performance during the initial episodes.
Moriarty found it painful not to be fully present for her character, Annie "Starlight" January, during this crucial filming period. She felt she was "offline" for the first six to seven episodes, only regaining her presence towards the very end of season five.
The actress also delved into the narrative of episode four, "King of Hell." Starlight's estranged father, Rick, revealed he left not due to bad investments, but in protest of her mother Donna's dogma about Starlight being a "Chosen One."
