Sydney Sweeney wants the world to know that she\u2019s very comfortable with her provocative scenes on Euphoria, thank you very much. In an interview with the New York Times\u2019 Popcast podcast, published after the series finale on May 31, Euphoria writer-creator Sam Levinson said the actor wanted to keep her NSFW scenes for Season 3, despite going further than ever before.<\/p>\n
In the long-awaited third season of the HBO series, Sweeney\u2019s character, Cassie Howard, becomes an OnlyFans model to afford her dream wedding to Nate (Jacob Elordi), much to his dismay. However, after finding out about his $1 million debt (and how violent his creditors are), she turns it into the family business, working with her former BFF Maddy (Alexa Demie) to grow her following.<\/p>\n
Naturally, a storyline involving OnlyFans would include nudity and oft-uncomfortable sexual content, but Levinson tried to downplay it onscreen. \u201cWell, it\u2019s funny, when I first wrote it, I was like, maybe we shoot all of this and we don\u2019t have any nudity, maybe there\u2019s ways to shoot around certain things?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sweeney wasn\u2019t having it. \u201cShe looked at me, and she was like, \u2018Are you kidding? I\u2019m playing an OnlyFans model. You\u2019re telling me you\u2019re going to like, skirt around it?\u2019\u201d he recalled. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018Yeah, OK, that\u2019s a fair point.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Indeed, Sweeney went all the way, acting out various kinky scenarios for Cassie\u2019s OnlyFans subscribers and even donning a giant inflatable bustier for a fantasy scene where her character becomes Godzilla-sized and practically destroys Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, we\u2019re tackling this world of OnlyFans where women are being paid to, like, whisper into an ear-shaped microphone,\u201d Levinson said. \u201cThere is a level of absurdity to it that is just fun, and we\u2019re 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to sing Sweeney\u2019s praises, calling her \u201ca totally fearless actor\u201d and gushing about how easy she is to collaborate with. \u201cShe\u2019s also just wonderfully professional and shows up just game every day,\u201d he said. \u201cI adore working with her because there\u2019s such a flexibility in terms of the performance. There\u2019s a lot of trust that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n
