Sidney Sweeney has spoken about the challenges and criticisms she faced regarding body, clothing, and nudity while portraying Cassie in HBO's Euphoria. In an interview with Variety, Sweeney discussed how the constant scrutiny over her character's sexuality and her own real-life experiences with similar judgments have affected her.
Sweeney revealed that the social media discussions about her body, clothing, and nude scenes have been distressing. She also noted the irony of people criticizing her character for being sexualized while doing the same to her in real life.
Despite the controversies, Sweeney expressed hope that future audiences will view Euphoria with fresh perspectives, potentially realizing that past criticisms may have been misguided.
The actress also talked about the iconic scene where Cassie appears as a giant, walking over a city, explaining that it symbolized the character's emotional state rather than being gratuitous.
