'When I didn't want to do it, he didn't make me,' Sydney Sweeney said of her experience objecting to nude scenes on Sam Levinson's 'Euphoria.'
With HBO’s gritty teen drama ‘Euphoria,’ stars Zendaya and Hunter Schafer aren’t afraid to raise eyebrowsIn real life, many shared screenshots of Sweeney’s nude scenes across social media. Some even tagged her younger brother in the images, which Sweeney denounced as “the most hurtful thing anyone could do.”
While filming “Euphoria,” however, Sweeney said she has always felt safe speaking up for herself — something she can’t say for all the projects she’s worked on. The 24-year-old actor has built an impressive resume in recent years working on Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and HBO’s “The White Lotus.” “I just didn’t feel like my character would be doing it,” she said. “That made me even more self-conscious. I didn’t feel like I was able to speak up.”
She said that double standard has affected critical reception of her performances, which have been largely overlooked until her sneering turn as spoiled brat Olivia Mossbacher in the critically acclaimed “White Lotus.”In HBO’s teen drama “Euphoria,” creator Sam Levinson offers an unflinching glimpse into the lives — and the minds — of a group of high school students navigating substance abuse, gender and sexual identity, and the particular challenges of growing up online.
