'Euphoria' creator praises Sydney Sweeney as 'fearless' actor

Euphoria creator Sam Levinson revealed that Sydney Sweeney forced him to keep her NSFW scenes in the third installment.

“Well, it’s funny. When I first wrote it, I was like, ‘Maybe we shoot all of this and we don’t have any nudity. Maybe there’s ways to shoot around certain things?’” the producer told The New York Times on Monday.

“And she looked at me and she was like, ‘Are you kidding? I’m playing an OnlyFans model. You’re telling me you’re going to, like, skirt around it?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, OK, that’s a fair point,'" continued Sam.

Praising Sydney as a “totally fearless actor,” Sam said, “She’s also just wonderfully professional and shows up just game every day. I adore working with her because there’s such a flexibility in terms of the performance. There’s a lot of trust that we have.”

In the third season, Sydney’s character Cassie became a model in order to save money for the wedding to Nate, played by Jacob Elordi.

Talking about Sydney's character, Sam said, "Look, we're tackling this world of OnlyFans where women are being paid to, like, whisper into an ear-shaped microphone."

"There is a level of absurdity to it that is just fun and we're always trying to come up with ways to make it feel authentic and humorous and dramatic and also speak to the larger wants and wishes of the character," he added.
