“Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson said that Sydney Sweeney fought to keep her NSFW scenes in the third and final season of “Euphoria” after he suggested cutting them.
“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?’” Levinson said in a Monday interview with The New York Times. “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.’”
Levinson was asked about his creative relationship with Sweeney and how they were able to get to a point where she was OK filming the show’s mature scenes.
Calling Sweeney a “totally fearless actor,” Levinson went on to praise her work in the HBO series.
“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.”
Levinson also spoke about Sweeney’s character starting an OnlyFans to fund her lifestyle after struggling to pay for her extravagant wedding with her fiancé Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi).
“And 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.”
