Sydney Sweeney’s nude scenes have earned a good deal of online ire. She spoke with GQ UK about how some “Euphoria” viewers have tagged her own family members in posts featuring screenshots of her nude scenes. “It got to the point where they were tagging my family,” she said. “My cousins don’t need that. It’s completely disgusting and unfair.” In a way, it’s life imitating art, as Cassie’s arc on “Euphoria” sees her navigating a world that treats her as a sex object. But Sweeney tries not to let the negative attention get her down: “I’m an artist, I play characters. It makes me want to play characters that piss people off more.”
It seems that ultimately for Sweeney, the important thing is that she both believes in the part she’s playing and that she does not feel pressured to do anything she doesn’t feel comfortable doing. It sounds like “Euphoria” provides that, as Sweeney has praised the intimacy coordinators on the show while talking with Christina Ricci for Variety’s Actors on Actors series.
“It’s a very safe environment,” she proclaimed. “I’m very fortunate that I am coming up during a time where there is so much thought in this process, and we now have intimacy coordinators.”
Sweeney went on to say in her talk with Ricci, “I have weirdly become very confident with my body through Cassie.”
