Erin Moriarty was fighting off a different kind of villain behind the scenes of 'The Boys.' The actress, who portrayed heroine Annie January—also known by her superhero alias Starlight—in all five seasons of the dark comedy, recently shared that she struggled on set with her Graves’ disease diagnosis, which partially led to a serious staph infection. “I had one night for example early on in the show, season two, where I was so run down that I developed a really, really bad staph infection,” Moriarty recalled during a June 30 appearance on Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Christina Applegate’s 'MeSsy' podcast. “I couldn’t move my right arm but I had a night shoot and I told production.” The 32-year-old recalled, “I was like, ‘Guys, I have a second head growing out of my armpit—even if we wanted to go through with this, this is what it looks like.’" But the show must go on—and Moriarty noted that she ended up going through with the scene, shot alongside Jack Quaid’s Hughie Campbell, who played her love interest for most of the series.
