Erin Moriarty Filmed One Of Her “Most Important Episodes” Of ‘The Boys’ During “Peak” Health Issues: “F*ck Autoimmune Disease”

SPOILERS: This post contains details about The Boys, Season 5 episode ‘King of Hell’

After opening about her Graves’ disease diagnosis last year, Erin Moriarty is sharing her experience of working while struggling with the autoimmune disease.

The actress, who plays Annie/Starlight on The Boys, explained that this week’s episode ‘King of Hell’ was “one of the most important” she’s made, and it was filmed during the peak of her health issues before she was diagnosed last May.

“Okay, so: Season 5, episode 4 of The Boys is one of the most important episodes I’ve ever shot. Unfortunately, that part of the season coincided with my health issues peaking before my diagnosis,” she wrote on her Instagram Story with a photo of her knee. “I’m saving you the gnarly part of this picture but not long after this episode, I started to lose the ability to walk. The numbness in my feet led to a lot of falling. The night before we shot my segment of this episode, I fell and shredded up my knee.”
