Now, let's pull back the curtain and take a peek at what goes on behind the scenes of "The Boys." 🎭 Spoiler alert: it's almost as wild as what we see on screen.

First things first – the blood. Oh, the blood. 🩸 The show is famous (or infamous, depending on your stomach) for its gore, and creating all that fake carnage is no small feat. The special effects team goes through gallons of fake blood each season, with different formulas for different purposes. There's "splash blood" for fight scenes, "flow blood" for wounds, and even "mouth blood" that's safe for actors to ingest. Yum! 😋

But it's not all gore and guts. The cast has formed a tight-knit group off-screen, often hanging out together even when they're not filming. 🎉 They've been known to have game nights, with Urban and Starr's competitive streaks apparently leading to some heated Monopoly sessions. Who knew superheroes and vigilantes were so into board games? 🎲

Speaking of games, the cast likes to keep things light on set with various pranks and inside jokes. 😂 One running gag involves hiding rubber ducks in unlikely places around the set. Keep an eye out in future episodes – you might just spot a sneaky duck in the background! 🦆

But it's not all fun and games. Filming "The Boys" is intense, with long hours and physically demanding scenes. 💪 The cast undergoes rigorous training to prepare for their roles, from fight choreography to superhero landings (which, by the way, are terrible for your knees). 🦵 Moriarty has spoken about the challenges of filming Starlight's light-emission scenes, which involve her staring directly into bright lights for extended periods. Talk about suffering for your art! 🎨
