Sam Levinson, director of Euphoria, wrote the final season, looked at the script, and thought: maybe we can film all of this without nudity. Sydney Sweeney looked back at him and said: “Are you kidding?”
The series creator revealed in an interview with The New York Times, after the May 31 finale, that it was he who proposed to “avoid” the explicit content. Her character, Cassie Howard, becomes an OnlyFans creator in season 3. Sweeney did not hesitate for a second: “You’re telling me you’re going to avoid it?” Levinson gave in immediately and called her a “completely fearless” and “wonderfully professional” actress. 🎬
What seemed like a director’s decision turned out to be the actress’s victory. Under SAG rules, no performer can be forced to shoot explicit scenes, which makes Sweeney’s stance even more striking: it was her choice, 100%. 🔥
