Sydney Sweeney, lead actress of HBO's Euphoria, rejected creator Sam Levinson's proposal to remove nudity scenes for her character in the third season. Levinson had considered eliminating nude scenes for the character Cassie, but Sweeney disagreed, emphasizing the role's requirements.
Levinson revealed in a recent interview with The New York Times that he initially thought about filming the entire season without nudity, aiming to present the character differently. However, Sweeney was not on board with this idea.
Sweeney questioned Levinson's proposal, asking if he was serious about removing nudity from a character that is an OnlyFans model. Levinson acknowledged her point, stating that her argument made sense. Euphoria, which began in 2019, has been known for its explicit scenes and has often faced criticism for them.
Levinson explained that actors are aware of the nudity and intimate scenes required for their roles from the beginning. He also mentioned the presence of intimacy coordinators in Hollywood to ensure actors' safety and comfort. Levinson praised Sweeney for her bravery and professionalism.
