“It was just a moment I knew that I’d want to have,” he says.
“I felt really at peace that whole last episode, as I did for most of that season.

He laughs while adding, “The armpits were the weirdest spot.
It was the most painful, other than the face mask.
They really had to wedge it in there to get it so it wasn’t droopy.”

“Then they’ve got to fix the suit.
But there’s that moment you’re trapped in it.
Those were always moments I would feel my body instantly heat up and sweat.
I’m like, ‘No, no, no!'”
He laughs as he remembers how “it could be a nightmare at times.”
I would eat lunch in it.
I would be in it for 12 hours straight.
There were moments early on where I was like, ‘I’m doing this for how long?
Seven years?!’
The Flashseries finale airs Wednesday, May 24, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
