WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for The Boys Season 3, Episode 6, "Herogasm," which released Friday on Prime Video.
The Deep actor Chace Crawford shed some light on the logistics of his character having sex with an octopus in the latest episode of The Boys Season 3, "Herogasm."
In an interview with Variety, Crawford addressed the scene, and the difficulties it posed logistically. After noting that, scientifically, The Deep having sex with an octopus can't happen scientifically. He then revealed, "that rig was the most cumbersome and annoying. I didn’t realize how heavy it was going to be. It was like a necklace. It was hanging around and they wrapped it, but it was so heavy they kept having to detach legs because I couldn’t last all day doing it with this 40-pound thing."
"Herogasm" was one of the most-anticipated episodes of The Boys Season 3 and of the series on the whole. Based on the six-issue limited series of the same name by Garth Ennis, John McCrea and Keith Burns, "Herogasm" saw the majority of the show's most important characters at the titular event, which is essentially a giant superhero orgy. In the TV series, Hughie Campbell and Billy Butcher team up with Soldier Boy to help him get revenge on his former Payback teammates, who sold him out to the Russians, resulting in years of imprisonment and medical experimentation.
Based on the comic book series of the same name by Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys was created for TV by Eric Kripke, who is also known for his work on such shows as Supernatural. The series follows the titular team as they work to takedown Vought International, the unethical corporation that profits from superheroes. This forces them to contend with The Seven, a Justice League parody group of super-powered people led by Homelander. The Deep is a member of The Seven.
The Boys has proven a major success for Prime Video, and all three seasons have boasted strong critical reviews and viewership. Following the premiere of Season 3, Prime Video renewed The Boys for a fourth outing.
New episodes of The Boys Season 3 release Fridays on Prime Video. The next installment of the series, "Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed," hits the streaming service on July 1.
