Although the series is pretty grim, there are some funny moments scattered throughout. From the constant jokes about Butcher’s accent to Frenchie’s intelligence on Sameer’s farm, the jokes are infinite and one more character has joined in on the fun.

Black Noir Is Back, Baby!

Well, not exactly Black Noir but an actor (with some superpowers) has been wearing the costume of Black Noir ever since the beginning of Season 4 of The Boys.

Season 3 ended with Noir dying surrounded by his friends and when the new Black Noir emerged, the world was certainly confused. However, as the episodes went on, fans understood that he isn’t the same Noir at all.

Nathan Mitchell (the actor for Black Noir II) recently revealed in an interview that he himself suffers from narcolepsy.

A narcoleptic person finds it hard to stay awake for longer hours and suddenly falls asleep anywhere. This was the scene when Black Noir and The Deep go to Butcher’s base to fight them.

During the ensuing fight, Black Noir II suddenly falls asleep and Butcher has a chance for revenge. The scene is extremely funny and considering that the actor is actually suffering from narcolepsy makes it 10x funnier!

Nathan Mitchell, the actor who portrays the role of Black Noir II, is narcoleptic in real life! This wasn’t in the script at all but when Mitchell said it, the writers of The Boys incorporated this particular element as well!

In an interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, the cast of the Amazon series sat down to chat. During their talks, it was revealed that Nathan Mitchell is actually narcoleptic regularly falls asleep during scenes!

Naturally, people took to X and had the funniest memes and reactions to the news.

Well, things have certainly heated up within The Boys as the last and final episode of Season 4 is set for a release in the near future. Getting a weekly release, fans were quite enjoying The Boys but sadly, it’s time for the series to take a pause and return after a break.

The iconic Amazon show currently stands at a rating of 8.7/10 on IMDB and a whopping 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. With 4 seasons to its name, the last episode of The Boys is slated for a release date of 18 July and will be available to stream on Prime Video around the world.
