Sydney Sweeney Refused to Tone Down Raunchy Euphoria Scenes

Levinson said Sweeney pushed for explicit scenes in the season 3 finale and called her a fearless actor who showed up game every day.

  • On Monday, Euphoria creator Sam Levinson revealed he initially considered shooting season 3 without nudity for Cassie Jacobs, but Sydney Sweeney insisted on including the scenes to maintain character authenticity as an OnlyFans model.
  • Sweeney shared behind-the-scenes photos on Sunday to mark the series finale, captioning the post "It's called acting" to defend her professional commitment to the role.
  • Levinson praised the actress as "totally fearless" and "wonderfully professional," noting there is "a lot of trust that we have" between them on set.

  • Levinson previously defended the show's creative choices, explaining the goal is to "tie into" the "absurdity" of OnlyFans rather than keeping audiences trapped within the character's fantasy.
