Dominic Fike opened up about his struggles with drug addiction while working on the set of Euphoria.
The 28-year-old singer appeared in season 2 of the teen-drama series as Elliot, a drug user who perpetuates Rue’s, played by Zendaya, relapse.
During an appearance on Sundance Film Festival, he told Variety that the show creators assigned him a “a random lady” to help him stay sober.
However, the Sunburn artist acknowledged, “It was hard to take advice from someone” who he’d “never relate to.”
“I actually am a pretty big drug addict myself, believe it or not,” he told host Matt Donnelly while discussing his upcoming film, Little Death.
“When I was on ‘Euphoria,’ they kind of just gave me a coach who would just talk to you. It was just some random lady. Jack is one of my best friends so it made it a lot easier, obviously,” Fike explained.
About his sober coach, the actor continued: “We had nothing in common. We didn’t come from the same places or the same problems. It was hard to take advice from someone like that or give a s***.”
During the interview, Fike also addressed his potential return to season 3 of Euphoria, claiming it “would be dope.”
However, he noted: “I don’t really talk to them anymore.”
