If you are a fan of The Boys you know how weird the scenes can get and the Firecracker actress has spoken out about one of the most uncomfortable moments filming.

If you have watched at least one episode of The Boys, you know it is a TV show filled with a whirlwind of bizarre, hilarious and weird moments.

I mean we have got superheroes committing heinous crimes and having sex scandals, so it's hardly the PG outings of Marvel and DC.

But one moment from the latest season has been on fans’ minds: the moment when Firecracker, played by Valorie Curry, breastfeeds adult superhero Homelander, played by Antony Starr.

Speaking at 2024’s Comic con in Northern Ireland Curry and co-star Laz Alonso (who plays Mother’s Milk) the actress took questions from fans.

One fan asked what was the most uncomfortable moment filming and Curry went straight to the breastfeeding scene but not for the reason you think.

She said: “Well, here is a secret about the infamous scene between Firecracker and Homelander in episode 6.

“When he was on my lap, those eagles were digging into my leg. I had little eagles on my thighs for like 2 hours indented.

“That was physical uncomfortable but otherwise great.”

Curry went on to clarify how great it is working with her castmates and the staff despite the bizarre, gross and, at times, crass subject matter of the show.

She continued: “Everyone is very professional. We do very extreme things in terms of the content of the show.

“But everyone treats it with such seriousness and professionalism that it always feels very comfortable and I always feel as an actor in terms of the performance.”

Alonso then added his own answer saying his most uncomfortable was in season 3 for the episode 'Herogasm'... and like Forrest Gump ‘that is all I have to say about that’. If you know, you know.

While Curry said she was enjoying her time at the Northern Ireland Comic-Con, she also issued a video after the event calling for boundaries from some fans.

In the video she posted on her Instagram page, Curry started by praising the 'normal' fans who didn’t make her feel uncomfortable with inappropriate comments.

She said: “By and large everyone was fantastic. I’ve only just started doing these conventions on my own and everyone for the most part has been lovely, so kind and so respectful, it’s been wonderful.

“But we do need to talk about boundaries and what is appropriate in terms of behavior.”

The actress didn’t get into the details about what this one fan and his friend did during the convention, but she reiterated that it simply wasn’t OK.
