Alexa Demie reveals what 'Euphoria' fans got completely wrong about her

In Euphoria, Alexa Demie's portrayal of Maddy Perez received widespread acclaim from fans and critics.

Though she has often been overwhelmed by the widespread praise.

But there is an aspect which frustrated her.

It is when fans assumed she was playing herself on the show.

“‘Oh, she’s not acting, that’s just who she is,'" she told i-D.

"That couldn’t have been further from the truth," the actress revealed.

However, Demie acknowledged why fans got the wrong idea about her.

She explained, "That was a bit frustrating, but I also can’t be upset because I never really showed people or let people in."

"Naturally, I’m just really private," the star added.

Season two was hardest to shoot

Euphoria is not a happy-go-lucky story. Its characters are complex and often fall into a grey area.

For its actors, shooting the show was not easy.

For Demei, she shared, her emotionally draining season was the second one.

"No, two was. Filming season 3 truly felt like the third act of my journey with the show and I felt held."

"I don’t think it was coincidence that Sam wrote GOD into the script the way he did."

"I felt the presence all around. Two was the hardest season, by far," she continued.

"After I finished filming that I was like, “F*** everything. F*** the show—everyone. I don’t want to do this.”

Demei's experience on season two led her to step back from the Hollywood limelight.
