  • "The Boys" star Aya Cash spoke to Insider about her "beautiful" Stormfront suit, which also made it difficult to go to the bathroom.
  • "It took 15 to 20 minutes for me to pee, so I would be waiting and going like, 'OK, 45-minute warning, I have to pee,'" the actress recalled.
  • Cash added that "at one point, it took two and a half hours for them to let me pee once."
  • The actress said that the wardrobe department didn't realize the issue until about halfway through production, so they "cut the suit in half for me so I was able to pee with much more ease."

"The Boys" star Aya Cash's Stormfront suit might look sleek, but it's far from comfortable.

"It's not like wearing sweatpants, that's for sure," Cash, who joined the hit Amazon Prime Video show during season two, told Insider.

The actress continued: "It also changes the way you walk. I'm in these really badass, big boots and I've got this costume that's lots of not me and it totally puts you into character, which is great."

"The Boys," which is based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comic-book series, debuted on Amazon in July 2019. The show received rave reviews from fans and critics and returned for season two in September 2020. The eight-episode season concludes on Friday, October 9.

Cash's Stormfront suit that she wears on season two includes red accents on the knees and arms, a silver belt, sturdy black boots, and a billowing cape.

The actress told Insider that the intricate outfit posed an issue when it came to using the bathroom, which is something the wardrobe department didn't realize until about halfway through production.

"It took 15 to 20 minutes for me to pee, so I would be waiting and going like, 'OK, 45-minute warning, I have to pee,'" the actress recalled. "At one point, it took two and a half hours for them to let me pee once."

The designers ended up modifying the suit to make things easier for Cash.

"The super suits girls were like, 'let's figure that out,' and they cut the suit in half for me so I was able to pee with much more ease, so that was lovely," the actress told us.

Bathroom issues aside, Cash said that she appreciates the effort and details that went into making her costume.

"They're also beautiful and these incredible works of art that have been created by all these craftsmen, so you also have to appreciate that when you're wearing them," she said.
